Physics - Motion In One Dimension

Practise 34 AIIMS previous year questions on Motion In One Dimension, compiled from papers spanning 2002 to 2019. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty AIIMS tests.

Motion In One Dimension has been asked in 16 of the 19 years of AIIMS papers analysed (2001–2019), with 34 questions in all. 56% of them were easy, 26% moderate and 18% tough. Most of its questions came from 2018, with 5 questions that year. In the last three years (2017–2019) it had 8 questions across 5 papers, about 1.6 per paper.

The chapter's 6 topics are not weighted equally: Rest and Motion (9 questions, 26%), Uniform Motion (8 questions, 24%), and Motion Under Gravity (7 questions, 21%) have been asked the most. Uniform Motion has produced the most tough questions (3).
