1) Describing motion :-
i) Motion :- is the change in position of a body with time.
Motion can be described in terms of the distance moved or the
displacement.
ii) Distance moved :- is the actual length of the path travelled by a
body.
iii) Displacement :- is the length of the shortest path travelled by a
+ ody from its initial position to its final position.
&qg :- If a body starts moving in a straight line from origin O and
moves through C and B and reaches A and then moves back and
reaches C through B, then
Distance travelled = 60 + 35 =95 km
Displacement =25km

i) Uniform motion :- If a body travels equal distances in equal intervals of
time, it is said to be in uniform motion.
ii) Non uniform motion :- If a body travels unequal distances in equal
intervals of time, it is said to be in non uniform motion.
iii) Speed :- of a body is the distance travelled by the body in unit time.
Distance-
Speed =
Time
If a body travels a distance s in time t then its speed v is
s
The SI unit of speed is metre per second m/s orms
Since speed has only magnitude it is a scalar quantity.
iv) Average speed :-is the ratio of the total distance travelled to the total time
taken.

The rate of motion of a body is more meaningful if we specify its direction of
motion along with speed. The quantity which specifies both the direction of
motion and speed is velocity.
i) Velocity :- of a body is the displacement of the body per unit time.
Displacement.
Velocity =
Time taken
“ince velocity has both magnitude and direction, it is a vector quantity.
Average velocity :- is the ratio of the total displacement to the total
ume taken.

Average velocity =
Total time taken
Average velocity is also the mean of the initial velocity u and final velocity v.

Speed and velocity have the same units m/s or ms4) Rate of change of velocity :-
During uniform motion of a body in a straight line the velocity remains
constant with time. In this case the change in velocity at any time interval is
zero (no change in velocity).
During non uniform motion the velocity changes with time. In this case the
change in velocity at any time interval is not zero. It may be positive (+ ve) or
negative (- ve).
The quantity which specifies changes in velocity is acceleration.
Acceleration :- is the change in velocity of a body per unit time.( or the rate
of change of velocity.)
Change in velocity
Acceleration = ————
Time
If the velocity of a body changes from initial value u to final value v in time t,
then acceleration ais

The SI unit of acceleration is ms *
Uniform acceleration :- If the change in velocity is equal in equal intervals
of time it is uniform acceleration.
Non uniform eration :- If the change in velocity is unequal in equal
intervals of time it is non uniform acceleration.
25) Graphical representation of motion :-
a) Distance — Time graphs :-
The change in the position of a body with time can be represented on the
distance time graph. In this graph distance is taken on the y - axis and time is
taken on the x — axis.
i) The distance time graph for uniform speed is a straight line ( linear ). This is
because in uniform speed a body travels equal distances in equal intervals of
time.
We can determine the speed of the body from the distance — time graph.
For the speed of the body between the points A and B, distance is (s, - s,)
and time is (t, -t,). You

The change in the velocity of a body with time can be represented on the
velocity time graph. In this graph velocity is taken on the y — axis and time is
taken on the x — axis.
i) If a body moves with uniform velocity, the graph will be a straight line
parallel to the x — axis . This is because the velocity does not change with
time.

Velocity - time graph for a body moving with uniform velocityii) If a body whose velocity is increasing with time, the graph is a straight line
having an increasing slope. This is because the velocity increases by equal
amounts with equal intervals of time.
The area under the velocity — time graph is the distance (magnitude of
displacement) of the body.
The distance travelled by a body between the points A and E is the area

iv) If a body whose velocity is non uniform, the graph shows different
variations. This is because the velocity changes by unequal amounts in equal
intervals of time.

The motion of a body moving with uniform acceleration can be
described with the help of three equations called equations of motion.
The equations of motion are :-
i) veutat
ii) s=ut+ “at?
4) 2as =v? -u?
where u - is the initial velocity
v - is the final velocity
a-is acceleration
t- is the time
s-is the distance traveleda) Equation for velocity — time relation ( v = u + at) :-
Consider a velocity — time graph for a body moving with uniform acceleration
‘a’, The initial velocity is u at A and final velocity is v at B in time t.
Perpendicular lines BC and BE are drawn from point B to the time and
velocity axes so that the initial velocity is OA and final velocity is BC and time
interval is OC. Draw AD parallel to OC.
We observe that
BC = BD +DC=BD+0A
Substituting BC = v and OA=u
“Je get v=BD+u

The motion of a body in a circular path is called circular motion.
Uniform circular motion :- Ifa body moves ina circular path with
uniform speed, its motion is called uniform circular motion.
Uniform circular motion is accelerated motion because in a circular motion a
body continuously changes its direction.
The circumference of a circle of radius ris given by 2nr. If a body takes time
t to go once around the circular path, then the velocity v is given by
