Linear motion motion in a straight line.

Examples :
a) A person moving up an escalator .
b) An athlete running in a 100m race .
The study of motion without considering the forces kinematics
The study of motion with the forces causing the motion of the object dynamics
Physical quantities for motion
-Speed, velocity
-Distance , displacement
-Time
-Acceleration
An object in motion causes the object to change its position.
Distance Total length of path travelled by an object from one location to another.
(m)
-

A scalar quantity (has magnitude but NO direction)

Displacement The total distance travelled by an object in a specific direction (m)

-

A vector quantity ( has magnitude AND direction)

Speed and velocity tells how fast an object is moving .

Speed The rate of change in distance with time (Speed = Distance
Time taken
-A scalar quantity
Velocity Rate of change in displacement with time . (Vector quantity)
