excellent Motion and Time Class 7 notes. When you read the chapter, all of your questions will
be answered because the notes cover the entire subject in great detail. They are useful as study
notes for exams. The notes were created by professional educators in the field, keeping in mind
the latest CBSE curriculum.
Taking notes is advantageous as it reduces the amount of time you need to spend reading
through each chapter before a test. To succeed on your exam, all you need to do is download
these notes and read through them.
These notes are crucial for achieving academic success and laying a solid foundation in the
fascinating field of motion and time. They have shown to be quite helpful in assisting pupils in
achieving academic success.
Motion is the movement of an object or the tendency of an object to move about time from its
original location.
Motions include, for instance, the pendulum of a clock moving, leaves falling from trees, etc.
The exact path that an object travels in a specific amount of time is called its distance. The
shortest distance an object travels in a specific amount of time is its displacement. Calculating
distance involves multiplying speed by time. Meters and kilometers are used to express the
distance.
When an object's position changes throughout time, as when an automobile travels down the
road, it remains in motion. If an object remains in the same location concerning time, it is said to
be at rest. similar to someone standing on the ground.
As a standard, time is measured in seconds, distance is measured in meters, and speed is
measured in meters per second.
Measuring Time
Many events in nature repeat after a time interval:
Speed
Measurement of Time
Time was once measured by the sun's shadow cast on various things.
Simple Pendulum: The best illustration of periodic motion is this kind of clock, which is used to
measure time.
Clocks, or time-measuring devices, measure time by applying the principle of periodic motion.
Its utilization of motion that repeats in equal intervals of time is indicated by this. Devices for
measuring time come in a variety of forms.
An object in to-and-fro motion is said to be in periodic or oscillatory motion.
The period is the length of time the pendulum takes to complete one full oscillation.
Oscillatory motion: The pendulum's oscillatory motion is its to-and-fro motion. The pendulum's
bob does indeed shift from its center, or mean position, to its extreme location on the opposite
side.
Oscillation: One oscillation is defined as the bob moving from its center (mean position) to its
extreme ends.
A pendulum's period is defined as the length of time it takes the pendulum bob to complete one
oscillation.
Measuring Speed
Distance-Time Graph
On the Y-axis, the distance is displayed, and on the X-axis, the time.
If the distance-time graph is parallel to the X-axis, the object is considered to be at rest.
The vehicle's speed is directly recorded via the speedometer in kilometers per hour (km/h).
The direct distance traveled by car is measured in kilometers (km) using an odometer.
Visualizing Motion
Distance-time graph
● A distance-time graph is a graph plotted between the distance (in the y-axis) and time (in
the x-axis).
● The slope of a distance-time graph gives the speed of an object.
Additionally, a graph's slope can be used to calculate the speed of the distance-time graph. The
object's speed increases with the graph's steeper slope. For instance, object A has a sharper
slope in the graph below. This indicates that object A is traveling faster than object B.
