10 Questions
What is the term for an object that is not in motion relative to a given frame of reference?
At rest
What concept of motion cannot be determined according to modern physics?
Absolute motion
What branch of physics describes the motion of objects without reference to their cause?
Kinematics
What is the measure of the rate of motion of an object in a particular direction?
Velocity
Which term describes the change in position of an object relative to a frame of reference with a change in time?
Displacement
What is distance in the context of motion?
Total path length covered during motion
How is displacement different from distance?
It requires both magnitude and direction for complete representation
How is motion defined?
Change of position of an object with respect to time
What is required for complete representation of displacement?
Magnitude and direction
How is displacement different from distance in terms of representation?
Displacement requires both magnitude and direction, while distance is represented only by magnitude
