CHAPTER 8 - Motion

Topics in the Chapter

• Introduction
• Distance and Displacement
• Uniform and Non-uniform motion
• Speed
• Velocity
• Accelerated and Decelerated motion
• Equations of motion
• Graphical representation of motion
• Uniform circular motion

A Reference Point is used to describe the location of an object. An object can be referred
many reference points.
For Example, a new restaurant is opening shortly at a distance of 5 km north from my house
the house is the reference point that is used for describing where the restaurant is located.

Motion
A body is said to be in a state of motion when its position change continuously with referen
point.
Motion can be of different types depending upon the type of path by which the object is
through.
(i) Circulatory motion/Circular motion . In a circular path.
(ii) Linear motion . In a straight line path.
(iii) Oscillatory/Vibratory motion . To and fro path with respect to origin.

Distance
The distance covered by an object is described as the total path length covered by an object b
two end points.
Distance is a numerical quantity. We do not mention the direction in which an object is tra
while mentioning about the distance covered by that object.

Displacement
The shortest possible distance between the initial and final position of an ob
called Displacement.Displacement depends upon the direction in which the object is travelling

Scalar quantity
It is the physical quantity having own magnitude but no direction.
Example: distance, speed.
