[edit] Motion
Motion refers to movement of an object from one position to another position or displacement of position with time
[edit] Types of Motions
[edit] Speed
Suppose there is a Force that moves an object over a distance S in time T . Then the ratio of Distance over Time can be used to describe object's Speed of movement
Expressed in mathematical Formula
Since Distance is measured in Meter ; m ; and Time is measured in Second ; s . Therefore , Velocity is measured in Meter per Second ; m/s
[edit] Velocity
Velocity is used to indicates Speed and Direction of movement .
Mathematical Velocity can be expressed as a function of time like V(t) and the Direction of movement is indicated by Vector that has Length equals to Speed of movemnet and a pointing arrow to indicate direction of movement
If movement from left to right is --> . Then movement from right to left is <-- .
- V(t) --> indicates Velocity of an object's movement from left to right agaist time
- V(t) <-- indicates Velocity of an object's movement from right to left agaist time
