Physics - Motion In One Dimension
Practise 19 WBJEE previous year questions on Motion In One Dimension, compiled from papers spanning 2009 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 WBJEE tests.
Motion In One Dimension has been asked in 14 of the 18 years of WBJEE papers analysed (2009–2026), with 19 questions in all. 47% of them were easy, 47% moderate and 5% tough. Most of its questions came from 2026, with 2 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 5 questions across 3 papers, about 1.7 per paper.
The chapter's 6 topics are not weighted equally: Graphs of motion in one dimension (5 questions, 26%), Uniform Motion (5 questions, 26%), and Motion Under Gravity (4 questions, 21%) have been asked the most. Graphs of motion in one dimension has also led over the last five years, with 3 questions. Uniform Motion has produced the most tough questions (1).
