What to Focus On

  • Motion is the continuous change in position of an object with respect to time
  • Rest means no change in position with respect to time
  • Motion and rest are relative concepts - they depend on the observer

  • Rectilinear motion: Movement along a straight line path
  • Circular motion: Movement along a circular path at constant distance from a center
  • Oscillatory motion: Repetitive back and forth movement about a fixed position

  • Distance = total path length covered (scalar, always positive)
  • Displacement = shortest distance between initial and final positions (vector)
  • Distance ≥ Displacement (always)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Distance and displacement are the same thing

Speed and velocity are the same thing

Acceleration only means speeding up

Memory Tips

Motion vs Rest - Relative Nature

Types of Motion - Classification

Distance vs Displacement

Speed vs Velocity
