Physics - Laws of Motion

Practise 98 MHTCET previous year questions on Laws of Motion, compiled from papers spanning 2007 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 MHTCET tests.

Laws of Motion has been asked in 16 of the 17 years of MHTCET papers analysed (2007–2026), with 98 questions in all. 30% of them were easy, 55% moderate and 15% tough. Most of its questions came from 2025, with 18 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 34 questions across 59 papers, about 0.6 per paper.

The chapter's 5 topics are not weighted equally: Non-uniform Circular Motion (29 questions, 30%), Newton's laws of motion (26 questions, 27%), and Spring force (16 questions, 16%) have been asked the most. Over the last five years the most frequent topics have been Newton's laws of motion (18), Non-uniform Circular Motion (13), and Spring force (13). Spring force has produced the most tough questions (6).
