What to Focus On

  • Motion is a change in position with time.
  • Rest means no change in position with time.
  • Motion is relative.

  • Rectilinear motion means motion in a straight line.
  • Circular motion means motion along a circular path.
  • Oscillatory motion means to and fro motion about equilibrium.

  • Distance is the total path length.
  • Displacement is the change in position.
  • Displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final positions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Distance and displacement are the same thing.

Displacement can never be zero.

If speed is constant, acceleration must be zero.

Memory Tips

Motion is relative

Observer cannot be in motion with respect to itself
