Important Points: Motion & Time | Science Class 7 PDF Download

Important Points:

Motion: When an object changes its position with elapse of time in respect to a stationary object, such as a building, electric pole, etc., the object is said to be in motion.

Slow and Fast Motion: If an object A covers more distance and object B covers less distance in same time, then object A is called in Fast Motion and object B is called in Slow Motion.

Rectilinear Motion: Motion along a straight line is known as RECTILINEAR MOTION OR MOTION ALONG A STRAIGHT LINE.

Curvilinear MotionMotion along a curve line is known as CURVILINEAR MOTION.

Circular Motion: Motion along a circle is known as CIRCULAR MOTION.

Speed: Distance covered by an object in unit time is called speed. This means Speed is equal to Distance upon Time.

Uniform Speed: If an object covers a fixed distance in each unit of time the motion is known as UNIFORM MOTION or UNIFORM SPEED.

Non-uniform Speed: If an object does not cover a fixed distance in each unit of time the motion is known as NON-UNIFORM MOTION or NON-UNIFORM SPEED.

Average Speed: Total distance covered divided by total time taken is known as AVERAGE SPEED.

Periodic Motion or Oscillatory Motion: When an object repeats its motion after every fixed interval of time, the motion of the object is called PERIODIC MOTION OR OSCILLATORY MOTION.

OscillationThe motion of pendulum starting from one extreme end to another extreme end and back to the first extreme end is called one oscillation.

Time Period: Time taken to complete one oscillation by the pendulum is called time period.

Unit of Time: Time is measured in second.

Unit of speed: Unit of speed is meter/second (m/s).

Speedometer: A device used to measure the speed of a vehicle is called SPEEDOMETER.

Odometer: A device used to measure the distance covered by a vehicle.

Distance time graph of a moving vehicle with a constant speed is a straight slanting line. Speed-time graph for the same vehicle will be a straight line parallel to x-axis.

FAQs on Important Points: Motion & Time - Science Class 7

1. What is motion according to class 7?
Ans. In class 7, motion is defined as the change in position of an object with respect to its surroundings in a given time interval.
2. What is time according to class 7?
Ans. According to class 7, time is defined as the duration or interval between two events. It is measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc.
3. What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Ans. Speed is the distance traveled by an object in a given time interval, whereas velocity is the displacement of an object in a given time interval. Velocity takes into account the direction of motion as well.
4. How is distance different from displacement?
Ans. Distance is the total path covered by an object, whereas displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position of an object. Distance is a scalar quantity, whereas displacement is a vector quantity.
5. What is uniform motion?
Ans. Uniform motion is the motion of an object at a constant speed in a straight line. In uniform motion, the distance covered by an object in equal time intervals is the same, and the speed of the object remains constant.
