Motion
Class 9 Physics - Chapter 5: Motion (Quick Revision Notes)
1. Motion:
- Change in position of an object with time.
2. Types of Motion:
- Uniform: Equal distance in equal time intervals.
- Non-uniform: Unequal distances in equal time intervals.
3. Distance vs Displacement:
- Distance: Total path covered (scalar).
- Displacement: Shortest path between two points (vector).
4. Speed vs Velocity:
- Speed = Distance/Time (scalar)
- Velocity = Displacement/Time (vector)
5. Acceleration:
- Change in velocity per unit time.
- a = (v - u)/t
- SI unit: m/s²
6. Graphs:
- Distance-Time Graph: Slope = Speed.
- Velocity-Time Graph: Slope = Acceleration; Area = Displacement.
7. Equations of Motion:
- v = u + at
- s = ut + ½at²
- v² = u² + 2as
8. Uniform Circular Motion:
Motion
- Constant speed but changing direction.
- Velocity is not constant; object is accelerated.
