Independence of Axes

JEE Main asked Independence of Axes 2 times in 2 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2020 and 2024. It belongs to Kinematics in 2D, in Motion in a Plane (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 4 years.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2020 and 2024. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.

How JEE Main framed it

Numerical value is the usual form. Skill tested: calculation.

  • X-coordinate at given y with constant acceleration
  • Speed under constant 2d acceleration
