Ameen Motion
Motion can also refers to the movement of a body from one direction to another
direction with respect to time.
Pull or push causes the motion of an object. And both are examples of force so it
can be easy agreed that force
causes Motion
So let�s talk about the types of Motion, I know you are eager to learn about big
formulas but you first have to
understand all this small details.
Types of Motion
1. Random motion : This is a motion in which an object moves suddenly and rapidly
in all directions e.g molecules
of a gas which moves in all direction(Zig -zag form).
Another very important example is the movement of footballer on the soccer pitch,
they don�t stay in one direction
.They all move randomly and rapidly following the ball.
4. Rotational Motion : This is the motion of a body round a fixed point E.g the
rotation of a blade of a suspended
ceiling fan, the rotation of the earth round the sun on its axis..
5. Relative Motion :This is not a common type of motion.. This is the motion
between two bodies
Is like the measure of the speed of body A in respect to body B
The unit of speed is m/s or ms-�, and speed is also a scalar quantity since it has
magnitude only.
Examples
Ronaldo ran a distance of 100 metres in 9.83 seconds, what�s ronaldo speed?
==================
For every question involving calculations, you must first write your parameters
out.
Distance (d) =100m
time(t) =9.83s
Speed = Distance
����-
Time
v =d
�-
t
V = 100
--��
9.83
V= 10.2
JUST 10.2???, Then you are very wrong, have you forgotten the unit of speed, the
unit is ms-�
So V =10.2ms-�
1.
A moving car covers a distance of 10m in 2secs, find the speed?
=====================
Write down the parameters
Distance (d) = 10m
time (t) =2s
Speed (v) =?
Speed = distance
-----����-
time
v=d
�
t
V= 10
��
2
V=5
Only 5?
Have you forgotten the unit of speed /velocity
V=5ms-�/ read as 5 metre per seconds
2.
A man covers a displacement of 6m in 3 secs. Calculate the velocity
==========================
Displacement (d) = 6m
Time =3s
Velocity (v) =?
Velocity =displacement
___________
time
V= d
�
t
V=6
�
3
V=2ms-�
3.
A car accelerates uniformly from 10ms-� to 20ms-� in 5 seconds, Find its
acceleration ?
�========================
acceleration = change in velocity
. _________________
time
a = v � u
---���-
t
u= initial velocity =10ms-�
v= final velocity =20ms-�
t=time=5s
a=acceleration =?
a= 20 � 10
---����
5
a=10
�-
5
a=2
Oh!!
Are we not forgetting something here, the unit of acceleration is ms-�
So a=2ms-�
That marks the end of class 1?? of motion ,class 2?? will be coming soon and class
2?? will be based on equations
and more calculations on motion.
