A body is said to be in a state of rest when its position does not change with respect to a reference point.
Object at Rest
A body is said to be in a state of motion when its position change continuously with reference to a point.
Motion can be of different types depending upon the type of path by which the object is going through.
Object in Motion
There are seven basic physical quantity. Every quantity in written in two parts : first write the magnitude of the physical quantity and then write the unit of the quantity.
i.e. magnitude 4 Unit.
Physical Quantities can be grouped into two
Scalar Quantities
Vector quantities
The actual path or length travelled by an object during its journey from its initial position to its final position is called the distance.
Distance | Displacement |
Length of actual path travelled by an object. | Shortest length between initial point and far point of an object. |
It is scalar quantity. | It is vector quantity. |
It remains positive, can’t be ‘0’ or negative. | Displacement can be equal to distance in linear path or it is lesser than distance. |
Distance can be equal to displacement (in linear path). | It can be positive (+ve), negative (-ve) or zero. |
[Intext Question]
Non – uniform motion is of two types
Accelerated Motion: When motion of a body increases with unequal time.
De – accelerated Motion or Non uniform Retardation: When motion of a body decreases with unequal interval of time.
Acceleration is seen in uniform motion and it can be defined as the rate of change of velocity with time.
