Science: Motion

Motion is the change in the position of an object with respect to its surrounding. Everything in the universe is in motion. Even though an object seems to be not moving, actually it is moving because the Earth is moving around the Sun. You may see objects moving in your surrounding. Cars along the road, trains along the track and aeroplanes in the sky are all moving. These movements are one type of motion. You may see the fan rotating in the ceiling. This is another type of motion. When you are playing in swing, it moves to and fro. This is also a type of motion. Motion is described in terms of distance, speed, acceleration and time. In this lesson we will study about different types and equations of motion, displacement, velocity and acceleration.
