Class 7 Science - Chapter Motion and Time NCERT Solutions | Classify the following as motion along a
Classify the following as motion along a straight line, circular or oscillatory motion:
(i) Motion of your hands while running.
(ii) Motion of a horse pulling a cart on a straight road.
(iii) Motion of a child in a merry-go-round.
(iv) Motion of a child on a see-saw.
(v) Motion of the hammer of an electric bell.
(vi) Motion of a train on a straight bridge.
(i) Oscillatory motion Motion of our hands while running is oscillatory because while running our hands does to and froth motion in the same interval of time, is called oscillatory motion and is also called Periodic motion. The swinging of a pendulum is an example of periodic motion.
(ii) Straight line motion If an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings with time, then it is called in motion. It is the straight line motion because in this the object changes its position along the straight line with respect to time. For example: car is running on the straight road.
(iii) Circular motion When an object moves along a circular path without changing its position, it is called circular motion. For example: the earth moves around the sun in a circular path in its particular orbit, so the motion of the earth around the sun is circular motion; ceiling fan, wheel of the bicycle.
(iv) Oscillatory motion The motion which repeats itself after regular intervals of time, is called oscillatory motion and also called Periodic motion. The swinging of a pendulum is an example of periodic motion; swinging of the swing, vibration of the mobile phone etc.
(v) Oscillatory motion The motion which repeats itself after regular intervals of time, is called oscillatory motion. When the hammer hits the electric bell then it vibrates repetitively, so this repetitively motion is oscillatory motion.
(vi) Straight line motion If an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings with time, then it is called in motion. In this, the train is moving on the straight bridge, it shows the change in position of the train along the straight line that shows straight line motion.
