* Displacement: The overall change in position from the starting point to the final point, regardless of the path taken. It's a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
* Distance: The total length of the path traveled by an object. It's a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude.
* Velocity: The rate of change of displacement over time. It's a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
* Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity over time. It's also a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
Types of Motion:
* Linear motion: Motion in a straight line.
* Rotational motion: Motion around a fixed axis.
* Oscillatory motion: Repetitive back-and-forth motion.
* Projectile motion: Motion of an object thrown or launched into the air.
Important Note: An object is considered to be in motion if its position relative to a reference point changes. This reference point is often called the frame of reference.
For example, a passenger sitting in a moving train is at rest relative to the train but in motion relative to the ground.
