Generally, it's described as change of position relative to a point, also known as displacement. It's also expressed as a vector quantity because the direction of motion is important. As for measuring, it's as simple as displacement and direction. An example would be "10 centimeters down". You'd then be able to use this as a change per unit time to get velocity, among many other things.

∙ 11y agoThere's a couple of different measures of motion, but I think what you're talking about is the concept of the vector, which is simply a description of an object's velocity, acceleration and direction. It's a line segment. The direction and length of the vector describes (within the context of the problem it's being used in) its direction and velocity/acceleration respectively.

Which of the following must always be measured or described relative to something else?
motion
What is the first invention of Einstein?
The first invention of Albert Einstein was the doctorate formula that accurately described the Brownian motion. The Brownian motion is used in Physics to explain the movement of particles in a given fluid.
What are the rates to measure motion in physics?
....
What are the problems of absolute motion in classical physics?
The same as in modern physics: there is really no physically meaningful way to define absolute motion.
What makes an object in motion to stay in motion?
Newtons laws of physics

How does magnetic force cause motion?
Going back to basic physics, motion results from acceleration, and acceleration equals force divided by mass. The force exerted by magnetic fields is described by Coulomb's Law.
Is the solar system related to motion and physics?
Yes. Everything in the Universe is related to motion and physics.
How can motion be described?
In simple motion can be described as the movement of any object.
What is the definition of physics and how physics related to economic?
Physics is the science of motion and does not have anything to do with economics.
What is the meaning of irregular motion?
what is regular and irregular motion in physics
What are the kind of motion?
There are different kinds of motion that exist in physics. Some of them include linear motion, angular motion, rotary motion, constant motion and many more.
What is efficiancy in physics?
efficiancy in physics is always measured as ratio of output and input
Is the SI unit of momentum?
In physics, momentum is a special property of an object in relative motion that describes the force of its motion. Momentum is the mass multiplied by the speed so in the SI system momentum is measured in Kg*m/s. It can be thought of as the force of an objects motion. Conversely, it can be though of as an objects resistance to change in motion.
What branch of science studies matter and energy and the way they work with a force to cause motion?
Kinematics and dynamics are the two branches of physics which deal with motion. your wrong dumba$$
What is the study of motion in physics?
Kinematics
