Chapter Overview
This chapter explains the concept of motion, its types, and various parameters such as speed, velocity, acceleration, and displacement. It covers uniform and non-uniform motion, equations of motion, graphical representation, and Newton's laws of motion. The chapter lays the foundation for understanding kinematics.
Important Keywords
- Motion: Change in the position of an object with time.
- Rest: When an object does not change its position with respect to time.
- Speed: Distance traveled per unit time.
- Velocity: Displacement per unit time with direction.
- Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity.
- Uniform Motion: Motion with constant speed in a straight line.
- Non-Uniform Motion: Motion with changing speed or direction.
- Displacement: The shortest distance from the initial to the final position.
- Graphical Representation: Motion depicted using graphs.
