MOTION
Definition: Examples of motion:
Motion is change of • Moving blades of a fan
position with respect to • Moving car
time. • Tsunami
• Flooded rivers
• Storm
• Rotation of planets
DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOTION
MOTION IN THREE DIMENSIONS
We describe the position or the location of an object with
respect to a reference point.
That reference point is called the origin.
Motion of ‘A’ with respect to ‘B’ and with
respect to ‘C’
MOTION IS RELATIVE
Distance Displacement
• Distance is the total path • Shortest distance measured
travelled by the object that is in from the initial position of the
motion. object to its final position, is
• It is described only by its known as displacement.
magnitude. • It is described by magnitude and
• Therefore distance is a scalar direction.
quantity. • Hence displacement is a vector
quantity.
One more example to understand distance and displacement:-
WHAT IS AN ODOMETER????
Displacement
• Displacement – difference between an object’s final
position and its starting position.
Does depend on direction.
• Displacement = final position – initial position
• In order to define displacement, we need directions.
• Examples of directions:
+ and –
N, S, E, W
Angles
Displacement
• Example of distance:
The ant walked 3 cm.
• Example of displacement:
The ant walked 3 cm EAST.
• An object’s distance travelled, and its
displacement aren’t always the same!
Distance is always positive.
But displacement can be negative.
????
Distance is always positive.
But displacement can be negative.
????
If you are moving on a straight road, you can set up a coordinate system where going forward is positive and backward is
negative.
• Distance: 3 cm
• Displacement: +3 cm
• The positive gives the ant a direction!
Displacement
• Find the ant’s displacement again.
Remember, displacement has direction!
• Distance: 3 cm
• Displacement: -3 cm
CAN DISPLACEMENT BE ZERO?????
Some examples from day to day life
where same distance is covered by
different objects in different time:
• Same distance will be covered faster by a car than a
bicycle.
• If the same distance is covered by walking, it will take
still more time.
WHAT IS Speed?
• Average Speed =
Soln.: Time taken for the signal from the spaceship to reach the
ground station = 5 minutes
1min = 60 sec, 5 min = 5 x 60 = 300 seconds.
speed of the signal = speed of light = 3 × m/s.
speed = distance/ time, distance = speed x time
distance of the spaceship = 3 × m/s x 300 s
= 900 x m = 9 x m
Ans Spaceship is at a distance of 9 x m from the ground station.
Q4 A rocket is traveling at 10 km/s. How long does it
take the rocket to travel 30 km?
• Uniform = “Constant”
• The motion in which an object covers
equal distance in equal time interval is called
uniform motion.
