    Motion

    Types of Motion

    • Translational Motion: Motion of an object from one point to another in a straight line or a curved path.
    • Rotational Motion: Motion of an object around a fixed axis.
    • Vibrational Motion: Back-and-forth motion of an object around a fixed point.
    • Oscillatory Motion: Repetitive motion of an object between two fixed points.

    Describing Motion

    • Displacement: Change in position of an object from its initial to its final position.
      • Vector quantity (has magnitude and direction)
      • Measured in meters (m)
    • Distance: Total length of path traveled by an object.
      • Scalar quantity (has magnitude only)
      • Measured in meters (m)
    • Speed: Rate of change of distance with respect to time.
      • Scalar quantity (has magnitude only)
