10 Questions
In physics, what is motion and how is it mathematically described?
Motion is the phenomenon of an object changing its position over time. It is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and frame of reference.
What is the branch of physics that describes the motion of objects without reference to their cause?
The branch of physics that describes the motion of objects without reference to their cause is called kinematics.
What is the branch of physics that studies forces and their effect on motion?
The branch of physics that studies forces and their effect on motion is called dynamics.
If an object is motionless relative to a frame of reference, how is it described?
If an object is motionless relative to a frame of reference, it is described as being at rest, motionless, immobile, stationary, or having a constant or time-invariant position with reference to its surroundings.
According to modern physics, can Newton's concept of absolute motion be determined?
No, according to modern physics, there is no absolute frame of reference, so Newton's concept of absolute motion cannot be determined.
What is the mathematical description of motion in physics based on?
All mentioned parameters
How is the position of an object that is not in motion relative to a given frame of reference described?
All of the above
What is the concept that modern physics holds regarding absolute motion?
Newton's concept of absolute motion cannot be determined
What does motion apply to according to the text?
Various physical systems
What is the state of everything in the universe as per the concept of modern physics?
Everything is in motion
