Solution

Motion:

  1. Motion is defined as the movement of any object from one position to another with respect to the observer.
  2. When an object moves in a straight line, the motion is referred to as rectilinear motion.
  3. For example, consider the motion of a car on a highway. Its position is changing with time with respect to its surroundings or a stationary observer. That means the car is in motion.
  4. Displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, and speed are all mathematical terms used to describe motion.
  5. The motion of an object cannot be changed unless it is acted upon by a force.
