Class9 Physics Motion Notes

The document provides comprehensive notes on motion, defining it as a change in position over time, and categorizing it into types such as rectilinear, circular, and periodic motion. It explains key concepts like distance vs. displacement, speed vs. velocity, and acceleration, along with equations of uniformly accelerated motion. Additionally, it includes important and very important questions for Class 9 students to test their understanding of the topic.

Class 9 Physics - Chapter: Motion (Complete Notes with Important

Questions)

Definition of Motion:
An object is said to be in motion if its position changes with respect to its surroundings in a given
interval of time.

Types of Motion:
1. Rectilinear Motion – Motion along a straight line.
2. Circular Motion – Motion along a circular path.
3. Periodic Motion – Motion that repeats itself after regular intervals.

Distance and Displacement:


- Distance: The actual path length travelled by an object. (Scalar)
- Displacement: The shortest distance between initial and final position of an object along with
direction. (Vector)

Speed and Velocity:


- Speed: Distance travelled per unit time. (Scalar)
Speed = Distance / Time
- Velocity: Displacement per unit time in a particular direction. (Vector)
Velocity = Displacement / Time

Acceleration:
The rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
Acceleration = (Final Velocity – Initial Velocity) / Time

Equations of Uniformly Accelerated Motion:


1. v = u + at
2. s = ut + ½ at²
3. v² – u² = 2as
Where,
u = initial velocity, v = final velocity, a = acceleration, s = displacement, t = time.

Uniform and Non-uniform Motion:


- Uniform Motion: When an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.
- Non-uniform Motion: When an object covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time.

Graphical Representation of Motion:


- Distance-Time Graph:
Straight line = uniform speed
Curved line = non-uniform speed
- Velocity-Time Graph:
Straight line with slope = acceleration
Area under velocity-time graph = displacement

Important Questions (Class 9 Motion):


1. Define displacement. How is it different from distance?
2. Define speed and velocity. Write their differences.
3. A car starts from rest and attains a velocity of 20 m/s in 5 seconds. Find its acceleration.
4. Derive the three equations of motion using graphical method.
5. A body is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 20 m/s. Find the maximum height reached.
(g = 10 m/s²)
6. What does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?
7. What is the physical meaning of area under a velocity-time graph?
Very Important Questions:
1. Distinguish between uniform and non-uniform motion with examples.
2. Derive the equation v² – u² = 2as.
3. Explain distance-time graph for uniform and non-uniform motion.
4. Numericals based on all three equations of motion.
