What is the definition of motion in physics?

Answer 1

Motion is change of location or position of an object with respect to time. Change in motion is the result of an applied force. Motion is typically described in terms of velocity also seen as speed, acceleration, displacement, and time. However, the motion of an object is only relative to the position of another object. Motion is a change in position of an object with respect to another object.

Answer 2

Motion in physics is the change in position of an object over time. It can involve translation (movement from one location to another) and rotation (spinning around an axis). Motion is described in terms of speed, velocity, and acceleration.

Answer 3

We all know that the rate of motion is referred to as the speed or sometimes average speed.. but if we add here the direction of motion than we have our velocity. Velocity is the speed of an object moving in a definite direction. The velocity of an object can be uniform or variable (non-uniform). It can be changed by changing the objects speed, direction of motion or both. When an object is moving along a straight line at a variable speed , we can express the magnitude ( amount of physics quantity in numerical way) of its rate of motion in terms of velocity. It is calculated in the same way as we calculate speed .

AVERAGE VELOCITY = initial velocity + final velocity / 2...

Mathematically = Vav = u + v/ 2

Answer 4

Motion is a body's change of position in space with regard to time caused by a force or a transfer of energy. When a body is in motion it is performing work since there is a transfer of energy or the exertion of force. Space provides the arena for the motion and time measures the motion itself. No motion can happen unless a force acts upon the body. Otherwise the body will remain at rest or if it is in motion continue moving with uniform velocity.

In short, if a body is relatively displaced to an observer, then it is said to be in motion.

Answer 5

Motion is, quite simply, the continuous change of position of a body over time. It's just that simple. And you got a link to the Wikipedia article on motion.

Answer 6

The definition of motion is the action or process of moving or being moved. In physics, motion is related to kinetic energy.

Answer 7

Motion is the action or process of moving or of changing or position; movement.

Motion is a change in position of an object.

Answer 8

a change in position of an object over time.

Answer 9

As a change in position (over time).

Answer 10

Motion is displacement in space over time
