Motion-Physics

What is Motion?

• A body is said to be at rest if its position does not change with time with respect to an observer (a reference point).

• A body is said to be in motion if its position changes with time with respect to an observer (a reference point).Motion means movement.

Which of the following is the example of rest??

• The passengers sitting in a moving bus are said to be in motion with respect to an observer standing outside the bus.

• Circular movement of blades of a rotating fan.

• The passengers sitting in a moving bus are said to be at rest with respect to the driver of the same bus because their position do not change with respect to the driver. A book lyin

Rectilinear motion is also called??

• Linear

• Rotatory

• Curvilinear

If a body as a whole moves in such a way that every point on it moves the same distance in a given time, then it is said to have undergone which motion?

• Translatory motion

• Rectilinear motion

• Curvilinear motion

• Oscillatory motion

What do you mean by Rotatory motion??

• If a body moves about a fixed point without changing its position

• If a body as a whole moves back (to) and forth (fro) about its mean position

• If a body moves along a curved line

• If a body keeps changing its motion rapidly from one type to another

If a body repeats its motion at regular intervals of time, then it is said to be in_____________motion.

• Non-periodic

• Periodic
