What are the characteristics of motion?

Solution

Motion: -

  1. Motion, as defined by physics, is the phenomenon in which an object's location varies over time.
  2. Mathematical terms used to describe motion include displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and time. The shift in the body's position with respect to a frame of reference attached to an observer is measured over time.

Characteristics of Motion: -

  1. A change in an object's position over time is referred to as motion.
  2. Mathematical terms that can be used to describe motion include distance, displacement, speed, and velocity.
  3. The motion of the object is noticed with respect to the frame of reference that is provided to the observer.
  4. Therefore, motion is generally understood to be a continuous change in the positions or organization of a physical system in space.
  5. Examples of motion that include the probability of occupying particular locations include wave motion and quantum particle motion.
