What a strange question! Motion cannot be measured. You can only measure Speed or Velocity, or Acceleration , or Distance travelled. Speed is a measure that relates Distance travelled in a particular Time. It is very easy to look at a moving object, but you cannot expect to have a brain which tells you precisely how far the object moved, just by looking at it. Perhaps you have been reading too many Science Fiction Novels lately!

What is the difference between speed and motion?

Speed refers to how quickly an object is moving, measured in distance covered per unit time. Motion, on the other hand, refers to the change in position of an object with respect to a reference point. Speed is a quantitative measure, while motion is a qualitative description of an object's change in position.


Why do you think it is important to create a visual representation of the motion of an object?

Creating a visual representation of an object's motion helps to easily convey complex information. It provides insights into patterns, trends, and relationships that may not be apparent with just numbers or words. Visuals can enhance understanding, aid in problem-solving, and facilitate effective communication of scientific concepts.


Do all forces acting on an object result to its motion?

Not necessarily. Forces can act on an object even if it is not in motion, causing it to accelerate or just balance out other forces. The net force on an object determines its motion, accounting for all forces acting on it.


Is an object in motion if the acceleration is zero?

Acceleration just means that something is getting faster at a constant pace. If the object was at rest it would have a constant velocity. If the object was then acted upon by and unbalanced force, the velocity would change and no longer be constant. However if an object is just moving along (balanced force of air resistance, gravity, and friction) then it would be at a constant velocity, also. In motion or at rest and object can have zero acceration.


How can you move an object by just looking at it?

Moving an object by just looking at it is not possible as our eyes do not have the ability to physically manipulate objects. However, with the use of technologies like eye-tracking software, one can control a cursor or interface on a screen by looking at it.

What is bulk motion?

Bulk motion is a type of motion that an object does. The object moves in a wave-like formation instead of just the waves moving.


Does friction affects the weight of an object?

no, friction just changes the motion of an object.

What does friction do to the object's motion?

The motion of the object might slow down or just change itself object would resist moving or keep moving. An object can have static friction, sliding friction, or rolling friction.

Does motion create speed?

Motion and speed are synonymous terms, with just a slight difference of emphasis. Speed suggests fast motion. Other than that, they are the same thing. Speed is a form of motion, so in that sense, motion does crreate speed. Obviously, an object that is not moving has a speed of zero.


Is motion the change in speed?

Motion is the change in position of an object over time. It describes how an object moves from one point to another, which can include changes in speed, direction, or both. Speed is just one aspect of motion and refers to how fast an object is moving.


What is the definition of the measurement of motion?

Difficult to know just what you have in mind. Motion implies velocity, which is measured in meters per second, or feet per second, or miles per hour.


Inertia is the property of any object that reists any change in?

Inertia is the property of any object that resists any change in its state of motion. It is described by Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
