Class 9 Science - Chapter 8: Motion Notes
Rest:
- A body is said to be in a state of rest when its position does not change with respect to a reference point.
Motion:
- A body is said to be in a state of motion when its position changes continuously with reference to a point.
- Types of Motion:
- Circular Motion: In a circular path.
- Linear Motion: In a straight line path.
- Oscillatory/Vibratory Motion: To and fro path with respect to origin.
Physical Quantity:
- Seven basic physical quantities.
- Written as magnitude + unit.
Distance:
- Actual path travelled from start to end.
- Denoted by 'S'.
- Scalar quantity.
- Example: Ramesh travelled 65 km.
Displacement:
- Shortest distance with direction.
- Vector quantity.
- Example: Ramesh travelled 65 km southwest.
- Can be zero in circular motion.
Difference between Distance and Displacement:
- Distance: Scalar, actual path, always positive.
- Displacement: Vector, shortest path, can be positive, negative or zero.
Class 9 Science - Chapter 8: Motion Notes
Uniform Motion:
- Equal distances in equal intervals of time.
- Examples: Clock hands, Earth's revolution.
Non-uniform Motion:
- Unequal distances in equal intervals.
- Example: Car on a busy road.
Types of Non-uniform Motion:
- Accelerated Motion: Speed increases.
- Decelerated Motion: Speed decreases.
Speed:
- Distance/Time.
- V = S/T
- SI Unit: m/s
- Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time
Velocity:
- Speed with direction.
- Velocity = Displacement/Time
- Vector quantity.
- SI Unit: m/s
- Average Velocity = (u + v) / 2
Acceleration:
- Rate of change of velocity.
- a = (v - u) / t
- Positive if speed increases.
Retardation/Deceleration:
Class 9 Science - Chapter 8: Motion Notes
- Decrease in velocity.
- Same formula as acceleration, negative value.
Uniform Circular Motion:
- Body moves in circle with uniform speed.
- Speed constant, direction changes.
- Formula: V = 2pir/T
