Question

A tiger is chasing a deer. The motion of the deer is __________. (a) linear (b) rotatory (c) zigzag (d) Oscillatory choose the correct answer​

Answer 1

Linear motion:

• As we know that the Linear motion is the most basic and simple of all motion.
• So, In linear motion, the directions of all the vectors describing the system are equal and constant which means the objects move along the same axis and do not change direction.
• As we know the Newton's first law of motion, objects that do not experience any net force will continue to move in a straight line with a constant velocity until they are subjected to a net force.
• and Under everyday circumstances, external forces such as gravity and friction can cause an object to change the direction of its motion, so that its motion cannot be described as linear.

A tiger is chasing a deer. The motion of the deer is a linear motion.

Hence, the correct Option is (a) Linear.

Answer 2

The correct answer will be option a, linear motion.

• According to Newton's first law of motion, a body which is at rest will remain at rest if no external force is applied and a body in motion will remain in motion if there is no external force to stop it.

• When the tiger is chasing the deer, both are in a state of linear motion.

• The tiger has not yet applied any force on the deer. So, the deer will continue its linear motion.
