Physics - Motion In Two Dimensions

Practise 28 BITSAT previous year questions on Motion In Two Dimensions, 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 Two Dimensions has been asked in 15 of the 16 years of BITSAT papers analysed (2009–2024), with 28 questions in all. 50% of them were easy, 43% moderate and 7% tough. Most of its questions came from 2024, with 5 questions that year. In the last three years (2022–2024) it had 7 questions across 5 papers, about 1.4 per paper.

The chapter's 3 topics are not weighted equally: Projectile motion (21 questions, 75%), Uniform Circular Motion (5 questions, 18%), and Relative motion (2 questions, 7%) have been asked the most. Projectile motion has also led over the last five years, with 9 questions. Projectile motion has produced the most tough questions (2).
