LECTURE-1

Rest:
Whenever a body doesn't changes its position with respect
to stationary objects and time, is said to be at rest.
Motion:
Whenever a body changing its position with respect to
stationary objects and time is said to be in motion.
Types of possible motions:
a) Uniform motion.
A type of motion in which body travels equal distance in
equal interval of time. In uniform mention speed of the
body remains constant or equal,
b) Non-uniform motion:
A type of motion in which body travels unequal distance
in equal interval of time. In these types of motion, speed
doesn't remain equal or constant.
Ques: Give examples of uniform and non-uniform motions.
Ans: Uniform: a) motion of hands of clock
b) Motion of planets around sun
c) Motion of pendulum in vacuum

Non-uniform motion : a) A car moving on a busy road.

b) A ball dropped from height.
Quantities:
There are two type of quantities:
a) Scalar Quantities
b) Vector Quantities
a) Scalar quantities:
Quantities which have magnitude but no direction are
called, scalar quantities. Example: Money, time, mass,
distance etc.

b) Vector quantities:
Quantities which have both magnitude as well as
direction are called vector quantities. Example: Weight,
velocity, force etc.
Distance and displacement
DISTANCE:
Length of path covered when we travel is called distance.
It is a scalar quantity.
Its S.I unit is meter (m).
It cannot be zero.
DISPLACEMENT:
Shortest distance between initial and final position is
called displacement.
It is a vector quantity.
Its S.I unit is meter.
Ques: When does a body have displacement equal to
distance?
Ans:
Ques: Can displacement be more than displacement?
Explain.
Ans:
Difference between distance and displacement
Distance Displacement
1.Path covered when we 1.Shortest distance
travel. between initial position

3.It cannot be zero. 2.It is a vector quantity.
4.It is always greater 3.It can be zero.
than or equal to 4.It is always less than or
