MCQ Tests with Answers for Class 7 Science Chapter 13

Q1

Payel is completed her science chapter where she wrote some statements. She wants to know whether the statements are correct or not? Payel wants to take help from you:

[A]. When an object moves along a straight-line path, it is called rectilinear motion.
[B]. When an object moves along a circular path, it is called circular motion.
[C]. When an object turns or spins about a fixed axis, it is called rotational motion.
[D]. The motion which repeats itself after regular intervals of time, is called oscillatory motion.
Q2

A bus travel 54 km in 90 minutes. The speed of the bus is:

[A]. 0.6 m/s
[B]. 10 m/s [C]
[C]. 5.4 m/s
[D]. 3.6 m/s
Q3

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
Q4

Recently, in a science class test, you are asked a question where you have to say whether the statements are incorrect?

[A]. When the distance travelled is measured in meters and the time taken is measured in seconds then the speed will come in the unit of meters per second.
[B]. When the distance travelled is measured in meters and the time taken is measured in minutes then the speed will come in the unit of meters per minute.
[C]. When the distance is measured in centimeters and the time is measured in seconds then the speed will come in the unit of centimeters per second.
[D]. None of 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

Which of the following statement is or are incorrect?

[A]. An object moving along a straight-line path is said to have uniform motion if its speed remains constant.
[B]. An object moves moving along a straight-line path is said to have non uniform motion if its speed keeps changing.
[C]. The non-uniform motion (in which the speed of an object keeps changing) is also called accelerated motion.
[D]. None of the above
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.
[C]. A pie chart is a kind of graph or diagram which shows the percentage composition of something in the form of slices of a circle.
[D]. None of the above
