Page 2 CHAPTER - 8 MOTION CLASS :- IX MADE BY :- NAMAN SCHOOL :- K.V . 1) Describing motion :- i) Motion :- is the change in position of a body with time. Motion can be described in terms of the distance moved or the displacement. ii) Distance moved :- is the actual length of the path travelled by a body. iii) Displacement :- is the length of the shortest path travelled by a body from its initial position to its final position. Eg :- If a body starts moving in a straight line from origin O and moves through C and B and reaches A and then moves back and reaches C through B, then Distance travelled = 60 + 35 = 95 km Displacement = 25 km O C B A 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 km Page 3 CHAPTER - 8 MOTION CLASS :- IX MADE BY :- NAMAN SCHOOL :- K.V . 1) Describing motion :- i) Motion :- is the change in position of a body with time.

Distance Speed = Time If a body travels a distance s in time t then its speed v is s v = t The SI unit of speed is metre per second m/s or ms -1 Since speed has only magnitude it is a scalar quantity. iv) Average speed :- is the ratio of the total distance travelled to the total time taken. Total distance travelled Average speed = Total time taken Page 4 CHAPTER - 8 MOTION CLASS :- IX MADE BY :- NAMAN SCHOOL :- K.V . 1) Describing motion :- i) Motion :- is the change in position of a body with time.

Total distance travelled Average speed = Total time taken 3) Speed with direction :- The rate of motion of a body is more meaningful if we specify its direction of motion along with speed. The quantity which specifies both the direction of motion and speed is velocity. i) Velocity :- of a body is the displacement of the body per unit time. Displacement Velocity = Time taken Since velocity has both magnitude and direction, it is a vector quantity. ii) Average velocity :- is the ratio of the total displacement to the total time taken. Total displacement Average velocity = Total time taken Average velocity is also the mean of the initial velocity u and final velocity v. Initial velocity + Final velocity u + v Average velocity = v av = 2 2 Speed and velocity have the same units m/s or ms -1 Page 5 CHAPTER - 8 MOTION CLASS :- IX MADE BY :- NAMAN SCHOOL :- K.V . 1) Describing motion :- i) Motion :- is the change in position of a body with time.

Initial velocity + Final velocity u + v Average velocity = v av = 2 2 Speed and velocity have the same units m/s or ms -1 4) Rate of change of velocity :- During uniform motion of a body in a straight line the velocity remains constant with time. In this case the change in velocity at any time interval is zero ( no change in velocity). During non uniform motion the velocity changes with time. In this case the change in velocity at any time interval is not zero. It may be positive (+ ve) or negative (- ve). The quantity which specifies changes in velocity is acceleration. Acceleration :- is the change in velocity of a body per unit time.( or the rate of change of velocity.) Change in velocity Acceleration = Time If the velocity of a body changes from initial value u to final value v in time t, then acceleration a is v - u a = t The SI unit of acceleration is ms - 2 Uniform acceleration :- If the change in velocity is equal in equal intervals of time it is uniform acceleration. Non uniform acceleration :- If the change in velocity is unequal in equal intervals of time it is non uniform acceleration.Read More
