Motion. • What is Motion in Physics? In physics, the motion is the change in position of an object with respect to its surroundings in a given interval of time. The motion of an object with some mass can be described in terms of the following: Distance. Displacement. Speed. Velocity. Time. Acceleration. Main types of motion.
Describe the definition, aims, and branches of physics. Describe and distinguish classical physics from modern physics and describe the importance of relativity, quantum mechanics, and relativistic quantum mechanics in modern physics.

velocity = speed + direction of motion Things that have both a magnitude and a direction are called vectors. More on vectors in Ch.3. For 1D motion (motion along a straight line, like on an air track), we can represent the direction of motion with a +/– sign. + = going right .

Motion is the action of changing location or position. The general study of the relationships between motion, forces, and energy is called mechanics.
