Force- is 

a push or pull acting on an object or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.


Motion -whenever a body is moving, we say it is in motion

Force and motion are deeply related in nature. We can say that force is the cause of motion.
Suppose something is moving, we can say that some force must be acting on it or some force must
have acted on it which produced this motion. If a person is walking, and hence in motion, there must
be some force acting on it which is making him move. What is this force? This force is the muscular
force of his body.

Force Can Cause a Body To Accelerate


When force is applied to a body in rest, it starts to move, provided that there is no greater force
opposing it. When you throw the ball towards the batsman while playing cricket, the ball starts to
move forward from its initial position of rest in your hands.

When something begins to move from a state of rest, it accelerates. Acceleration can be described


as a positive change in velocity over a period of time.

Similarly, if force is applied in the same direction of movement of a moving object, it accelerates. For
example, if you rotate the pedal of a bicycle, it will go faster.

Force Can Cause a Body To Decelerate


On the other side of the spectrum, if force is applied on the opposite direction of a moving object, it
will decelerate or slow down and eventually stop altogether if the force is continued to be applied.
For example, when a goalkeeper stops a ball, he causes it to decelerate and stop.

Force Can Cause a Body To Change Directions


When force is applied on an object in an angle different to its direction of motion, it causes the object
to change motion. Almost every ball game uses this principle. The speed can be maintained if the
force is applied in a perpendicular angle but the velocity will change

Motion in One Dimension Definition

When we say an object is “in motion”, we mean that its position is changing with time. For one-
dimensional motion, this means the object is moving only in a straight line — think of traveling
straight along the x or y-axis on a graph, or a line such as x=2. Or, imagine biking along a
straight, flat path with no twists or turns.

Motion in one dimension is when the position of an object changes along a straight line. 
“Free- fall” motion is a
Uniformly Accelerated Motion
that takes place in
a vertical direction. Every
time an object moves
vertically, either going
upwards or going downwards,
we say it is in Free- fall

Uniformly accelerated motion is the motion of an object undergoing
constant acceleration that does not change with time.

What is uniformly accelerated motion in vertical dimension?


If an object is under constant acceleration and moves on the x-axis plane, it is known as a uniform
accelerated motion on the horizontal plane or dimension. Similarly, if the movement is along the y-
axis, it would be known as a vertical uniformly accelerated motion.

a uniformly accelerated motion in the horizontal dimension means that an object/body in


motion is undergoing uniform acceleration and is moving along the x-axis.
A scalar is a quantity with only magnitude and no directional value.
A vector is a quantity having both magnitude and direction.

Kinematics is the study of motion without reference to the causal forces involved. Motion in one
dimension, involves situations such as traveling along a straight line or a falling object after
dropping it from some height
