Key Topics to Revise
1. Measuring Length
- Length can be measured using body parts, but body-based units are non-standard because they differ from person to person.
- Handspan is also called balisht.
- Examples of body-based measurement include arm length, strides, feet, fist, and fingers.
2. Reference Point, Rest, and Motion
- Distance or position is described with respect to a fixed object or point called a reference point.
- Whether an object is at rest or in motion depends on the reference point chosen.
- An object is in motion if its position changes with respect to the reference point with time.
3. Types of Motion
- When an object moves along a straight line, its motion is called linear motion.
- Examples of linear motion include a car on a straight road, a falling orange, a parade march-past, and a pushed box.
- When an object moves along a circular path, its motion is called circular motion.
