Moving Objects
Motion
A body is said to be in motion if it changes its position
with respect to its surroundings and is said to be at
rest if it does not change its position with respect to
its surroundings.
Distance
It is the actual path followed by a body between the
points in which it moves.
Displacement
Displacement is the shortest distance between the
initial and final points of moment.

Motion
The motion in which the object covers equal distance
in equal interval of time is known as uniform motion.
The motion in which the object covers unequal
distance in equal interval of time is known as nonuniform motion
Acceleration
The rate of change of velocity is known as time

Equations of motions by graphical method
Motion of an object was studied by Newton and then
it was summarized in a set of equations of motion.
The equations analyse rectilinear motion of uniformly
accelerated body. The position of such a body can be
well predicted with the help of a set of three
equations, called kinematical equations.
A body is moving along a straight line with initial
velocity ‘u’. After time interval ‘t’ it attains final velocity
‘v’ due to an acceleration ‘a’. Then the set of three
equations is given as:
v = u + at _________ (1)
It represents velocity time relation.

s = ut + at _________ (2)

It describes position time relation.

v2 = u2 + 2as _________ (3)
It represents relation between position and velocity.
These equations can be derived by graphical
method. (As shown in fig.)
1. Equation for velocity - time relation.
An object having non zero
initial velocity u starts from
point P. It’s velocity goes
on increasing with
respective to time and
becomes v when it reaches
point Q. The change in velocity is at uniform rate.

To find change in velocity, draw PR parallel to OS.
QS = QR + RS
= QR + PT
Put QS = v, PT = u, and QR = at, we get.
v = at + u
v = u + at
The velocity - time relation is obtained here. This is
the first kinematical equation.

Let distance travelled by the
object be ‘s’ in the time
interval

under
uniform
acceleration ‘a’. In figure, the
distance travelled is given by
area enclosed within TPQS.

Q.2 Give reasons
i.
An object at rest can be considered to have
uniform motion
Ans:
•
An object is said to be in uniform motion
when it has constant speed.
•
For an object at rest, its speed is always zero.
•
Hence, an object at rest can be considered to
have uniform motion.
ii. When a body falls freely to the ground, its motion
has a uniform acceleration
Ans:
•
When a body falls freely, the only force acting
on it is earth’s gravitational force.
•
This force is practically uniform near the
earth’s surface.
•
Hence, when a body falls freely to the ground,
its motion has a uniform acceleration.
