Chapter: Motion (Class 9 Science) - Full Long Notes
1. What is Motion?
Motion is a change in the position of a body with respect to time.
- Rest: Object does not change position.
- Motion: Object changes position.
2. Types of Motion
- Translatory, Rotational, Oscillatory, Periodic
- Rectilinear and Curvilinear
3. Distance and Displacement
- Distance: Total path (scalar)
- Displacement: Shortest path (vector)
4. Uniform and Non-Uniform Motion
- Uniform: Equal distances in equal time
- Non-Uniform: Unequal distances in equal time
5. Speed and Velocity
- Speed = Distance / Time
- Velocity = Displacement / Time
- Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
- Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total Time
6. Acceleration
- a = (v - u) / t
- Positive: Increasing speed
- Negative: Retardation
7. Equations of Motion
1. v = u + at
2. s = ut + 1/2 at²
3. v² = u² + 2as
8. Graphical Representation
- Distance-Time: Straight (uniform), Curved (non-uniform)
- Velocity-Time: Area under graph = displacement
9. Uniform Circular Motion
- Speed = 2pir / T
- Centripetal acceleration is present
10. Key Concepts
| Term | Type | SI Unit |
|--------------|---------|---------|
| Distance | Scalar | m |
| Displacement | Vector | m |
| Speed | Scalar | m/s |
| Velocity | Vector | m/s |
| Acceleration | Vector | m/s² |
11. Examples
1. Speed = 100 km / 2 hr = 50 km/h
2. a = (20 - 0) / 4 = 5 m/s²
3. s = 0 + 1/2 × 2 × 25 = 25 m
12. Daily Life Examples
- Train in uniform motion
- Ball thrown upward
- Fan blades
13. Recap
- Motion and rest are relative.
- Scalar: Magnitude only
- Vector: Magnitude + Direction
