  5. (a) – (v), (b) – (iii), (c) – (i), (d) – (iv), (e) – (ii).
  6. (a) meter (b) oscillatory (c) kilometers (d) rectilinear (e) area.
  7. Periodic motion refers to any movement of an object that is repeated at regular interval of time. For example, pendulum of clock, motion of the child on swing, earth revolving around Sun etc.
  8. S.I. unit of length is meter. It is represented by symbol “m”.
  9. Periodic motionNon periodic motion
    It is repeated at regular interval of time.It is not repeated at regular interval of time.
    For example: movement of Earth around the Sun.For example: motion of our hands and legs during walking.
  10. Uniform motionNon-uniform motionOscillatory motion
    Car moving with constant speedBus moving on city roadPendulum of clock
    Rotation of earthRiding of cycle on crowded roadA swing
