MOTION
The course motion helps students understand how things move and the forces that affect them. It covers important ideas like speed, acceleration, and Newton’s laws of motion, using simple math and real-life examples. Students learn about different types of motion, such as objects falling, cars driving, and planets orbiting. Through theory experiments, simulations, they develop problem-solving skills and see how motion is part of everyday life. This course also prepares them for more advanced studies in science, engineering, and technology.
1. MOTION
Motion is defined as the change in position of an object with time. Dynamics deals with the study of the motion of objects and the forces acting on them.
1.1 Types of motion:
1. Rotational (circular) Motion; wheels of a moving car, rotation of the blades of fan
2. Translational (Linear) Motion; a car moving from point A to point B
3. Random Motion; flight pattern of a bee, movement of dust particles
4. Oscillatory Motion; swinging pendulum etc,
5. Relative motion; A person is moving in a car, nearby objects move backward, thus they are stationary relative to the earth.
