What is the definition of motion?

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

What are the three types of motion?

The three types of motion are translational motion, rotational motion, and vibrational motion.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is a scalar quantity that only specifies how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that specifies both speed and direction of motion.

What is acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity over time.

What is the formula to calculate average speed?

Average speed = total distance traveled / total time taken

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 concept of inertia?

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.

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

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

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 tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force.

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Distance is the total path traveled by an object, while displacement is the straight-line distance between the initial and final positions of an object.

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration is given by Newton's second law of motion: Force = mass × acceleration.

What is the concept of air resistance?

Air resistance is a force that opposes the motion of objects through air.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is a scalar quantity that only specifies how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that specifies both speed and direction of motion.

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 concept of terminal velocity?

Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity an object can reach when falling through a fluid, such as air or water, due to the balance between gravitational force and air resistance.

What is the definition of motion?

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