Physics - Motion In Two Dimensions
Practise 20 JEE Advanced previous year questions on Motion In Two Dimensions, compiled from papers spanning 2008 to 2026. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty JEE Advanced tests.
Motion In Two Dimensions has been asked in 14 of the 27 years of JEE Advanced papers analysed (2000–2026), with 20 questions in all. 40% of them were easy, 40% moderate and 20% tough. Most of its questions came from 2023, with 3 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 2 questions across 6 papers, about 0.3 per paper.
The chapter's 3 topics are not weighted equally: Projectile motion (12 questions, 60%), Uniform Circular Motion (4 questions, 20%), and Relative motion (4 questions, 20%) have been asked the most. Projectile motion has also led over the last five years, with 4 questions. Projectile motion has produced the most tough questions (2).
