Physics 9 th class 1 chapter summary

Explanation:
An object is said to be in motion when its position changes with time.
• We describe the location of an object by specifying a reference point. Motion is relative. The total path covered by an object is said to be the distance travelled by it.
• The shortest path/distance measured from the initial to the final position of an object is known as the displacement.
• Uniform motion: When an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, it is said to be in uniform motion.
• Non-uniform motion: Motions where objects cover unequal distances in equal intervals of time.
• Speed: The distance travelled by an object in unit time is referred to as speed. Its unit is m/s.
• Average speed: For non-uniform motion, the average speed of an object is obtained by dividing the total distance travelled by an object by the total time taken.
