Practise 61 NEET previous year questions on Motion In One Dimension, compiled from papers spanning 2002 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 NEET tests.

Motion In One Dimension has been asked in 23 of the 39 years of NEET papers analysed (1988–2026), with 61 questions in all. 39% of them were easy, 52% moderate and 8% tough. Most of its questions came from 2008, with 6 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 8 questions across 13 papers, about 0.6 per paper.

The chapter's 6 topics are not weighted equally: Non-uniform Motion (18 questions, 30%), Uniform Motion (14 questions, 23%), and Rest and Motion (12 questions, 20%) have been asked the most. Over the last five years the most frequent topics have been Rest and Motion (5), Motion Under Gravity (3), and Graphs of motion in one dimension (3). Non-uniform Motion has produced the most tough questions (2).
