Key Topics to Revise

1

Rest, Motion, and Relative Nature

  • A body is at rest if it does not change its position with respect to a fixed point in its surroundings.
  • A body is in motion if its position changes with time with respect to a fixed point in its surroundings.
  • Rest and motion are relative terms.

Types of Motion

  • Translatory motion: every point of an object moves through the same distance in the same time.
  • Rectilinear or linear motion: motion along a straight line.
  • Curvilinear motion: motion along a curved path.
3

Speed and Motion Classification

  • Speed tells how fast or slow a body moves.
  • Speed is distance travelled in unit time.
  • Uniform motion means equal distances in equal intervals of time.
4

Mass and Weight

  • Mass is the quantity of matter contained in a body.
  • Mass is constant and does not change with place.
  • Weight is the force with which Earth attracts a body.
