Tips To Prepare Motion In A Straight Line For NSEP

The Class 11 NCERT Physics chapter Motion Along A Straight Line discusses position, frame of reference, basics terms like rest and motion, distance and displacement, speed and velocity, acceleration, uniform and non uniform motion and equations of motion. All these topics are the very basics for mechanics. Questions from the chapter Motion Along A Straight Line are asked in the NSEP exam. In the past six years 1.25 per cent of NSEP questions are from this chapter. Let us have a look at syllabus, questions and reference materials for preparation of Motion Along A Straight Line For NSEP.

Tips To Prepare Motion Along A Straight Line For NSEP

• Understand the concept of frame of reference

• Study the difference between distance and displacement and speed and velocity

• Study all the graphs and derivations

• Learn the use of equations of uniformly accelerated motion

• 
  

v=u+at

s=ut+0.5at2

v2=u2+2as

Here u is the initial velocity, v the final velocity and a is the acceleration. Note that the above three equations are only applicable for uniformly accelerated motion.

• Solve problems on free falling

• Solve all the questions from NCERT Class 11 chapter Motion In A Straight Line

• Solve all the NCERT exemplar problems

• Practice NSEP previous year papers
