Study Notes
- Motion is the phenomenon of changing position over time and surroundings.
- It is described mathematically by displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and frame of reference.
- Kinematics studies motion without reference to its cause, while dynamics studies forces and their effect on motion.
- An object at rest has a constant or time-invariant position relative to its surroundings.
- There is no absolute frame of reference and everything in the universe can be considered to be in motion.
- Motion applies to various physical systems, including objects, bodies, matter particles, radiation, and space-time.
- The term motion signifies a continuous change in the positions or configuration of a physical system in space.
- Motion can apply to images, shapes, and boundaries.
- Wave and quantum particle motion involve probabilities of occupying specific positions.
- Newton's concept of absolute motion cannot be determined in modern physics.
