Overview

Motion is the change in position of a body with respect to a fixed point in its surroundings. Rest is the state in which a body does not change its position with respect to a fixed point in its surroundings. Rest and motion are relative, so the same object can be at rest for one observer and in moti

Key Concepts

Motion is present when the position

Motion is present when the position of a body changes with time with respect to a fixed point in its surroundings.

Rest is the state in

Rest is the state in which a body does not change its position with respect to a fixed point in its surroundings.

In translatory motion

In translatory motion, every point of an object moves through the same distance in the same time. It includes rectilinear and curvilinear motion.

Rectilinear motion is translatory motion along

Rectilinear motion is translatory motion along a straight line.

Curvilinear motion is translatory motion along

Curvilinear motion is translatory motion along a curved path.

Learning Objectives

  • Define motion and rest using position change with respect to surroundings
  • Distinguish between rest and motion as relative terms
  • Identify different types of motion from daily-life examples
  • Differentiate translatory, rectilinear, curvilinear, rotatory, and circular motion
  • Recognize oscillatory, vibratory, periodic, and non-periodic motion
