Types of Motion and Description

Types of Motion

• Rectilinear Motion: Motion along a straight line
• Circular Motion: Motion along a circular path
• Rotational Motion: Motion around a fixed axis
• Periodic Motion: Motion that repeats itself at regular intervals

Description of Motion

• Distance: Total length of path covered by an object
• Displacement: Shortest distance between initial and final positions
• Speed: Rate of change of distance
• Velocity: Rate of change of displacement
• Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity

Time

• Interval: Time between two events
• Period: Time taken by an object to complete one oscillation or rotation
• Frequency: Number of oscillations or rotations per unit time

Graphical Representation

• Distance-Time Graph: Shows distance traveled by an object over time
• Velocity-Time Graph: Shows velocity of an object over time
• Acceleration-Time Graph: Shows acceleration of an object over time

Equations of Motion

• v = u + at: Velocity of an object at time t, where u is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and t is time
• s = ut + (1/2)at^2: Displacement of an object at time t, where u is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and t is time
• v^2 = u^2 + 2as: Velocity of an object after displacement s, where u is initial velocity, a is acceleration, and s is displacement

Types of Motion

• Rectilinear motion occurs along a straight line.
• Circular motion follows a circular path.
• Rotational motion revolves around a fixed axis.
• Periodic motion repeats itself at regular intervals.

Description of Motion

• Distance is the total length of the path covered by an object.
• Displacement is the shortest distance between an object's initial and final positions.
• Speed is the rate of change of distance.
• Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.
• Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

Time

• Time interval is the time between two events.
• Period is the time taken by an object to complete one oscillation or rotation.
• Frequency is the number of oscillations or rotations per unit time.

Graphical Representation

• A distance-time graph displays the distance traveled by an object over time.
• A velocity-time graph shows the velocity of an object over time.
• An acceleration-time graph illustrates the acceleration of an object over time.

Equations of Motion

• The velocity of an object at time t is calculated as v = u + at, where u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
• The displacement of an object at time t is calculated as s = ut + (1/2)at^2, where u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
• The velocity of an object after displacement s is calculated as v^2 = u^2 + 2as, where u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and s is the displacement.
