Fundamentals of Motion Quiz

Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and frame of reference to an observer, measuring the change in position of the body relative to that frame with a change in time.

The branch of physics describing the motion of objects without reference to their cause is called kinematics.

The branch studying forces and their effect on motion is called dynamics.

<p>If an object is not in motion relative to a given frame of reference, it is said to be at rest, motionless, immobile, stationary, or to have a constant or time-invariant position with reference to its surroundings.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Modern physics holds that, as there is no absolute frame of reference, Newton's concept of absolute motion cannot be determined.</p> Signup and view all the answers
