Solution

Definition

Motion is the process through which an object's location changes constantly.

Types of motion

There are mainly two types of motion, such as:

Uniform motion:

The motion of an item in which it travels in a single direction and its velocity continues constantly along its line while it traverses equal distances throughout approximately the same time, regardless of the duration of the period.

Example: The movement of such a ceiling fan's blades.

Non-uniform motion:

This motion is characterized as an item moving at a variable speed and not covering the same distance throughout equal time intervals, regardless of the time period duration.

Example: The motion of a train.
