What is motion?

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

What are the two types of motion?

The two types of motion are linear motion and rotational motion.

How is motion measured?

Motion is measured using various metrics such as speed, velocity, and acceleration.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to the rate at which an object covers distance, while velocity is a vector quantity that considers both the object's speed and direction of motion.

What is acceleration?

Acceleration refers to the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It can be positive (speeding up), negative (slowing down), or zero (constant velocity).

What is Newton's first law of motion?

Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same velocity unless acted upon by an external force.

What is Newton's second law of motion?

Newton's second law of motion states that the force acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass and acceleration. The equation is F = ma.

What is Newton's third law of motion?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Distance is the total length traveled by an object without considering the direction, while displacement refers to the change in position of the object in a specific direction.

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

The formula for average speed is speed = distance / time.

What is the formula for calculating velocity?

The formula for velocity is velocity = displacement / time.

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

The formula for acceleration is acceleration = change in velocity / time.

What is the unit of measurement for acceleration?

The unit of measurement for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s^2).

What is the difference between uniform motion and non-uniform motion?

Uniform motion is when an object covers equal distances in equal time intervals, while non-uniform motion is when an object covers unequal distances in equal time intervals or equal distances in unequal time intervals.

What are the examples of motion in everyday life?

Examples of motion in everyday life include a car moving on a road, a person running, a ball being thrown, and a pendulum swinging.
