VSAQ for Chapter 8 Measurement of Time and Motion Class 7 Science NCERT
Important Questions1
Q1: The basic unit of speed is
(i) Km/ min
(ii) m/ min
(iii) Km/ sec
(iv) m/ sec
(i) Km/ min
(ii) m/ min
(iii) Km/ sec
(iv) m/ sec
Answer
(iv)m/ sec
Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers distance. It is measured in terms of how much distance is traveled per unit of time. In the metric system, the unit for distance is meters (m) and the unit for time is seconds (sec). Therefore, the basic unit of speed is meters per second (m/sec).

Q9:How is non-uniform motion different from uniform motion?
Answer
In non-uniform motion, the speed or direction of the object changes, whereas in uniform motion, the speed remains constant.

Q10: How do we measure speed using a speedometer and an odometer?
Answer
Speedometers measure and display the speed of a vehicle in km/h, while odometers record the distance traveled by the vehicle in kilometers (km).
