No it isn't. Motion means something moving.

Direction has to be established for there to be a change in it. An object that moves forward, stops, and then moves forward again experiences motion without a change in direction. An object that moves forward, stops, and then moves to the right experiences both motion and a change in direction.

Direction in physics is either an angle (for example a bearing of 30degrees is thiry degreesto the right of due north), or direction is a vector. A vecto consists of the x-component(i) and the y-component(j) of a line segment. For example, a vector of 2i+4j is the line segment that starts at the origin and ends at two units to the positive x(2i) and four units to the positive y (4j).

-- The direction of velocity is the direction in which the object is moving.

-- The direction of force acting on the object can be any direction; it doesn't

have to be related in any way to the direction in which the object is moving.

-- The direction of the object's acceleration is the direction of force acting on

the object, so it doesn't have to be related in any way to the direction in which

the object is moving either.
