Key Topics to Revise

1

Describing Motion

  • Motion is relative - an object may appear moving to one observer and stationary to another
  • Reference point (origin) is essential to describe the position of any object
  • Distance is the total path length covered by an object (scalar quantity)
2

Types of Motion

  • Uniform motion: Object covers equal distances in equal time intervals
  • Non-uniform motion: Object covers unequal distances in equal time intervals
  • Most real-life motions are non-uniform
3

Speed and Velocity

  • Speed is rate of motion - distance covered per unit time
  • Speed is a scalar quantity (only magnitude)
  • Velocity includes both speed and direction (vector quantity)
4

Acceleration

  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
  • Acceleration occurs when velocity changes (speed or direction or both)
  • Positive acceleration: velocity increases or acceleration in direction of motion
