MCQ Tests with Answers for Class 7 Science Chapter 13
Q1
Which of the following statement is or are incorrect?
[A]. The movement of an objects is called stationary-motion.
[B]. The movement or duration in which things occurs is called time.
[C]. An object is said to be in motion or moving when its positions changes with time.
[D]. When the position of car changes with, we say that car is moving or that the car is in motion.
Q2
Read the following sentences carefully, and choose the incorrect one:
[A]. The distance moved by an object in a unit time is called speed of the object.

[C]. 5.4 m/s
[D]. 3.6 m/s
Q4
In the last year board examination, Rahul were asked a question where he had to choose the statement which was/were correct? Will you be able to answer this question?
[A]. The unit of speed depends upon the unit of distance and the unit of time used.
[B]. The speed of an object can be calculated by dividing the “distance travelled” by the object, by the “time taken” to travel this distance.
[C]. The “distance traveled” divided by “time taken” actually gives us “average speed” of the car during that time.
[D]. All the above
Q5
If we denote speed by S, distance by D and time by T, the relationship between these quantities is:
[A]. S = D x T
[B]. T = S/D
[C]. S = 1 x D/ T
[D]. S = T/D
Q6
In a science quiz competition, Payel are asked a question where she had to choose the statement which was/were correct?
[A]. If we have to compare the speeds of a number of objects, then we must express the speed of all those objects in the same units.
[B]. An instrument on a vehicle dashboard which indicates the speed of the vehicle when it is running is called speedometer.
[C]. An odometer it is an instrument for measuring the distance travelled by a vehicle.
[D]. All the above
Q7

Q8
Bikash is doing his homework which is given by his teacher. Would you help him to choose the correct sentences?
[A]. If the distance time graph of an object is a straight line then it is moving with a constant speed
[B]. If the distance time graph of an object is not a straight line or curved line than the speed of an object is not constant.
[C]. The distance time graph of an object is a horizontal line parallel to the time axis, then the speed of object is zero and the object is not moving.
[D]. All the above
Q9
In the last year board examination, Rahul were asked a question where he had to choose the statement which was/were incorrect? Will you be able to answer this question?
[A]. The variation of distance travelled by an object with time can be seen more easily from a distance time graph than table form.
[B]. A bar graph is a diagram which shows information as bars of different heights.
