Case Study Questions
I. Units of length, such as kilometre, metre, centimetre, and millimetre, begin with a lowercase letter, except at the beginning of a sentence. Their symbols km, m, cm, and mm are also written in lowercase letters, and are never followed by ‘s’ for the plural. Note that a full stop is not written after the symbol, except at the end of a sentence. While writing the length, always leave a space between the number and the unit.

II. If an object repeats its path after a fixed interval of time, its motion is said to be periodic. When an object is in circular motion, it moves along the circular path again and again. An object in oscillatory motion also repeats its motion while moving to and fro. Both circular and oscillatory motions are periodic in nature.
