Ncert Class 9th Physics Chapter 1 Motion Summary describing motion

In everyday life we encounter so many examples of motion.

Describing MOTION

Body is in motion or not declarating this is only possible if we take references with respect to which it is decided whether the body is in motion or not. Like if we are in train and we take reference a tree then we are in motion but if our reference is train itself then we are in rest.

Displacement and distance

Displacement: the shortest distance between the starting position and final position.

Distance:the total length of path covered by an object is distance.

Suppose an object is in A and moves towards B then Towards C. Now the displacement of object will be length AC but displacementt will be AB+BC.
