Study Notes
Motion and Its Types
- Definition of Motion: Motion is the change in position of an object with respect to time and its surroundings.
Types of Motion
- Uniform Motion: An object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time, e.g., a car moving at a constant speed of 60 km/h on a straight road.
Speed and Velocity
- Speed: The distance traveled by an object per unit of time, measured in units of distance per unit of time (e.g., km/h).
- Velocity: The rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, measured in units of distance per unit of time (e.g., km/h) and includes direction.
