Questions and Answers

What is the difference between rest and motion?

Rest is when an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings, while motion is when it remains stationary.

Rest and motion are dependent on the observer.

Rest is when an object remains stationary, while motion is when it changes its position with respect to its surroundings. (correct)

Rest and motion are the same thing.

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Distance provides both direction and magnitude, while displacement provides only magnitude.

Distance is a vector quantity, while displacement is a scalar quantity.

Distance is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions of the body, while displacement is the total length of the path covered by a moving body.

Distance is a scalar quantity, while displacement is a vector quantity. (correct)

What is non-uniform motion?

Motion in a straight line at a varying speed. (correct)

Motion in a straight line at a constant speed.

Motion in a curved path at a varying speed.

Motion in a curved path at a constant speed.

What is the difference between average speed and instantaneous speed?

<p>Average speed is the speed of a body over a long period of time, while instantaneous speed is the speed of a body at a particular instant of time during the motion.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the difference between uniform speed and non-uniform speed?

<p>Uniform speed is the speed of a body that covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, while non-uniform speed is the speed of a body that covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Motion and Rest

Rest: an object remains at the same position over time, with no change in its position relative to a reference point
Motion: an object changes its position over time, with a change in its position relative to a reference point

Distance and Displacement

Distance: the total length of the path traveled by an object, regardless of direction
Displacement: the shortest distance between the initial and final positions of an object, considering direction

Uniform and Non-Uniform Motion

Non-uniform motion: an object's velocity changes with time, resulting in a varying speed and/or direction

Speed and Velocity

Average speed: the total distance traveled by an object divided by the time taken to travel that distance
Instantaneous speed: the speed of an object at a particular instant in time, calculated by the distance traveled in a very short time interval

Uniform and Non-Uniform Speed

Uniform speed: an object travels at a constant speed, covering equal distances in equal time intervals
Non-uniform speed: an object travels at a varying speed, covering unequal distances in equal time intervals
