Particle motion can be explained only if a frame of reference is defined. Or for that matter a point of reference. For instance if you take a small area on earth such as your city, and place it in an x, y z plane, where x is east-west, y is north-south and z is up or down. Now you can define motion. I am in motion walking at 3 miles per hour (or running at 10 mph) east on Oak street. I have direction and speed. In mathematics this is dx/dt, the change in the x direction with time. Typically referred to as the velocity component u.
The earth of course being nearly a sphere is truly a rotating coordinate system with its axis pointed toward the north star for reference. So for faster motion over a long distance this curvature and rotation of the coordinate system must be taken into consideration when defining motion.
In the far outer reaches of space, we define our motion with direction and speed with reference to something like the center of our galaxy (Milky Way).
Now I have discussed motion on a large scale, but particles implies getting down to the smaller scales as in atomic particles. These once again, need that frame of reference. Understand that particle motion does not have to be in a straight line. It can be circular, elliptical, oscillating up and down or sideways, or combinations of these. Some particle motion becomes relativistic as the speed of the particle approaches the speed of light. But that is another area.

The particles motion in liquids move around quite a bit, bumping gently past each other.
Gases don’t just take the shape of their container they fill the space of the container that they are in.

What are 4 main points of the particle theory?
5 major points of the particle theoryAll matter is made up of extremely tiny particlesEach pure substance has its own kind of particle, different from the particles of other pure substances.Particles attract each otherParticles are in constant motionParticles at a higher temperature are moving faster than particles at a lower temperature.
What kind of particle is released when Po-210 becomes Pb-206?
alpha particle dont ask why cuz i dont know
What kind of particles will be found in a liquid compound which is non-electrolyte?
The kind of particles in a non electrolyte are those that do NOT dissociate or ionize. So, one particle of a non electrolyte remains as 1 particle. If it were an electrolyte it would dissociate into more than 1 particle.
What kind of particle have a unequal number of protons and neutrons?
radioactive particles
When dissolved in water acids will release what kind of particles?
A hydroxide particle
Is there a way to stop the particles from moving?
If you mean, thermal motion, if an object is cooled down, the particles will move slower. Absolute zero (no particle movement, and no other kind of internal energy) can be approached, but it can't be reached completely.If you mean, thermal motion, if an object is cooled down, the particles will move slower.

Why is the Higgs Boson referred to as the God Particle?
The Higgs boson is referred to as the God particle for the reason that this kind of particle is predicted in physics theory of the Standard Model. Although the particle has nothing to do with God, the belief is, that the detection of this particle would lead to many explanations about the creation of the universe and the big bang and what caused it.
What kind of science does swimming have?
It is explained by the Newtons third law of motion. When you push the water backwards, equal and opposite force takes you forward
What is the definition of Industrial Kinetics?
1. the branch of mechanics that deals with pure motion, without reference to the masses or forces involved in it. 2. Also called applied kinematics. the theory of mechanical contrivance for converting one kind of motion into another.
Which kind of particle when passed through an electric field?
An Alpha particle.
What is the name of a negatively charged particle that is part of every kind of matter?
This particle is the electron.
What kind of motion is projectile motion?
none
What are elements or compounds that have only one kind of particle?
A pure substance has only one kind of particle. Sulfur is an example of a pure substance.
What is is the Relationship between quark and subatomic particle?
A quark is a kind of subatomic particle, and 3 quarks makes up another subatomic particle (a baryon). A quark and an anti-quark make up another kind of sub-atomic particle, (a meson).

What motion mean?
Motion is movement of any kind.
What are the two kind of motion in the universe?
there r only one kind of motion but it changes by viewers how does he identify that.
