๐ Concept Notes
๐ What is Motion?
Motion is the change in position of an object with respect to time and relative to a reference point. An object is said to be in motion if it changes its position with time.
Key Concepts:
- Rest: An object is at rest if it does not change its position with time
- Motion: An object is in motion if it changes its position with time
- Reference Point: A fixed point used to determine if an object is moving
- Relative Motion: Motion depends on the observer's frame of reference
๐ Types of Motion
Linear Motion
- โข Motion along a straight line
- โข Also called rectilinear motion
- โข Examples: Car on straight road, falling apple
- โข Path: Straight line
Circular Motion
- โข Motion along a circular path
- โข Object moves around a fixed center
- โข Examples: Earth around Sun, hands of clock
- โข Path: Circle
Oscillatory Motion
- โข Repeated back and forth motion
- โข Motion about a fixed position
- โข Examples: Pendulum, swing, guitar string
- โข Path: To and fro
Rotational Motion
- โข Motion around its own axis
- โข Object spins about a fixed axis
- โข Examples: Spinning top, Earth's rotation
- โข Path: Around own axis
Random Motion
- โข Motion without a fixed pattern
- โข Unpredictable direction changes
- โข Examples: Flying butterfly, smoke particles
- โข Path: Irregular/unpredictable
Mixed Motion
- โข Combination of different motions
- โข Objects can have multiple motion types
- โข Examples: Rolling wheel (linear + rotational)
- โข Path: Complex combination
โก Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration
Speed
- โข Distance traveled per unit time
- โข Formula: Speed = Distance รท Time
- โข Unit: m/s, km/h
- โข Scalar quantity (only magnitude)
- โข Always positive
Velocity
- โข Displacement per unit time
- โข Formula: Velocity = Displacement รท Time
- โข Unit: m/s, km/h
- โข Vector quantity (magnitude + direction)
- โข Can be positive or negative
Acceleration
- โข Change in velocity per unit time
- โข Formula: Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) รท Time
- โข Unit: m/sยฒ
- โข Vector quantity
- โข Can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down)
Distance vs Displacement
- โข Distance: Total path length (scalar)
- โข Displacement: Shortest distance between start and end points (vector)
- โข Distance โฅ Displacement
- โข For straight line motion: Distance = Displacement
