I.MOTION-is a change in location or position of an object with respect to time.

Change in motion is the

result of an applied force.

II. Different kinds of motion

a. Linear motion is motion along a straight line, and can therefore be described mathematically
using only one spatial dimension.

Ex.
b. Rotatory motion the act of rotating as if on an axis; "the rotation of the dancer kept time with
the music".

Ex.

c. Oscillatory motion a body is said to be oscillatory motion when its rotating while moving.

Ex.

III. Mechanics- it is an important branch of physics.

a. Dynamics In the field of physics, the study of the causes of motion and changes in motion is
dynamics. In other words the study of forces and why objects are in motion. Dynamics includes
the study of the effect of torques on motion.
b. Kinematics, the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of objects without
consideration of the causes leading to the motion.

IV. Scalar and Vector

a. Scalar is a simple physical quantity that is not changed by coordinate system rotations or
translations (in Newtonian mechanics), or by Lorentz transformations or space-time translations
(in relativity).
b. Vector is a quantity that has two aspects. It has a size, or magnitude, and a
direction. In contrast, there quantities called scalars that have only size.
V. Speed- The rate in change in position.

a. Instaneous

b. Constant

c. Average
VI. Displacement vs. Distance

a. Distance- How a far something moves.

b. Displacement- The distance and direction of an object change in position from its starting point.

VII. Velocity
