Mastering Motion

Motion is the phenomenon by which an object changes its position with respect to time.

The branch of physics that studies forces and their effect on motion is called dynamics.

Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and frame of reference to an observer.
