INTRODUCTION -

• IN our everyday life we see many objects which may be in rest or in motion.
• For example – birds fly, fish swim, cars move, and many more.
• The motion may be in a straight path, vibrate or in circular path.
MOTION AND REST -

• Motion – A body is said to be in motion if its position continuously changes

with respect to its surrounding changes with time.
• For example – birds flying, children playing football, car moving, etc.
• Rest - A body is said to be at rest if it’s position does not change with respect
to a fixed points in it’s surroundings.
• For example- Tree, book lying on table, bench fixed on table, etc.
TO UNDERSTAND BETTER –

• At rest = Book on a table

• At motion =
rotation of earth
DISTANCE =

The length of actual path between initial and final position of a moving
object in the given time interval is known as the distance travelled by the
object.
Distance = length of path
Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to how much round an object has
covered during its motion.
Distance can be equal to displacement. SI unit of distance is meter (m).
 DISPLACEMENT =

The shortest distance between the initial position and the final position of a moving
object in the given interval of time from initial to the final position of the object is
known as the displacement of the object.
Displacement is a vector quantity is a vector quantity that refers to how far out of
place an object is, it is the object’s overall change in position.
If an object moves relative to a reference frame( for example, if a professor moves to
the right relative to white board or a passenger moves toward the rear of an airplane),
then the object’s position changes. This change in position is known as displacement.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DISTANCE &
DISPLACEMENT
SPEED

• It is the distance travelled by a body per unit time.

• It is a scalar quantity. It is always positive. Its si unit is m/s.
• Speed = distance / time
• Average speed= total distance / total time
TO UNDERSTAND BETTER =
VELOCITY =

• IT IS the distance travelled by a body per unit time in given direction.

• It is speed with direction . It is a vector quantity.
• It can be positive, negative, zero.
• Velocity = displacement / time
• Average velocity = initial velocity + final velocity / 2
