Motion and Equations of Motion


Now we will learn about Motion. Motion is a phenomenon to do with the 'movement' of objects. A change of 'place' or 'positioning' of an object either on it's own or due to an external force which is applied is termed as 'Motion'. It is calculated with respect to a particular 'Frame of reference'.
It is a temporary change.  There are certain laws which govern motion.  
In Physics, we can calculate the motion based on 4 terms:
  • Velocity
  • Displacement
  • Time
Acceleration 
 With each of the above dependents varying the Equations of motion are derived. Based on the speed , time and distance the Speed graph is derived in physics. It gives the change of speed over the time on a particular distance. By this one can find out if an object has been following uniform speed or Variable speed.
