Physics - Motion In One Dimension

Practise 18 BITSAT previous year questions on Motion In One Dimension, compiled from papers spanning 2009 to 2024. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty BITSAT tests.

Motion In One Dimension has been asked in 13 of the 16 years of BITSAT papers analysed (2009–2024), with 18 questions in all. 72% of them were easy, 11% moderate and 17% tough. Most of its questions came from 2018, with 3 questions that year. In the last three years (2022–2024) it had 4 questions across 4 papers, about 1 per paper.

The chapter's 6 topics are not weighted equally: Motion Under Gravity (5 questions, 28%), Uniform Motion (5 questions, 28%), and Non-uniform Motion (3 questions, 17%) have been asked the most. Over the last five years the most frequent topics have been Rest and Motion (2), Motion Under Gravity (1), and Non-uniform Motion (1). Motion Under Gravity has produced the most tough questions (1).
