Motionina Straight Line Tf an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings with time, then it is called in motion. Rest If an object does not change its position with respect to its surroundings with time, then it is called at rest. [Rest and motion are relative states. It means an object which js at rest in one frame of reference can be in motion*in another’ frame of reference at the same time. a Point Mass Object An object can.be considered as a point mass object, if the distance travelledby it in motion is very large in comparison to"its dimensions. Types of Motion 1. One Dimensional Motion If only one out of three coordinates specifying the position of the object. changes with respect to time, then the motion is called one dimensional motion. For instance, motion of a block in a straight line motion of a train along a straight track a man walking on a level and narrow road and object falling under gravity etc. 2. Two Dimensional Motion If only two out of three coordinates specifying the position of the object changes with respect to time, then the motion is called two ensional motion. Acircular motion is an instance of two dimensional motion. 3, Three Dimensional Motion If all the three coordinates specifying the pole with reapect to time, ten tie motion ia © motion, ae es ‘ A few instances of thres dimension are fying bed a flying kite, 2 flying neroplane, the random motion of gan molec ade an of the object changes Ned three dimensions Distance fe The length of the actual path traversed by an object is called the distance. e ; It is a scalar quantity and it can never be ero or negative during the motion 6f an object, Its unit ia metre, Displacement ms ‘The shortest. distance between the initial and final positions of any object during motion is called displacement.

As _ ds d= lim —=— Instantaneous spee i aged Velocity The rate of change of displacement of an object in a particular direction is called its velocity. Displacement. Velocity Time taken Its unit is m/s. Its dimensional formula is (M°LT}). It is a vector quantity, as it has both, the magnitude and direction. ‘The velocity of an object can be positive, zero and negative. Uniform Velocity If an object undergoes equal displacements in ox intervals of tin, then it is said to be moving with a uniform velocity. Non-uniform or Variable Velocity If an object undergoes unequal displacements in equal interval; , : alle. time, then it is said to be moving with a non-uniform or variahj, velocity. Relative Velocity Relative velocity of one object with respect to another object is the ting rate of change of relative position of one object with respect to anothe object.
