Motion

My ideas on laws of motion


Motion can be defined as the change of position with respect to time and reference point. Motion can explained by five major aspects.
  1. Displacement
  2. Velocity
  3. Time
  4. Direction
  5. Acceleration

Velocity

Velocity can be defined as speed with direction. When we say that our vehicle is moving with the speed of 50 km/ph towards north so here we are dealing with velocity as we are talking about the direction.

Displacement


Displacement can be defined as the straight line distance between final and initial point. The distance between two point can be curved along the path the object has moved but displacement is always in a straight and shortest path. This can be calculated by using the simple formula
x2 - x1= s

As displacement is a vector quantity fascinating frames can be made using this the units of measurement is same as the measurements of  distance. 

Time

Time is the dimension of space and is a measure relative to which any thing moves and act from past to present and further to future.
second1 secSI base unit
decasecond10 seconds
minute60 seconds
moment(historical)1/40th of an hourused by Medieval Western European computists.[29]
hectosecond100 seconds1 minute and 40 seconds
ke864 secondstraditional Chinese unit of decimal time duration, usually 1/100 of a day. 14 minutes and 24 seconds. (Nearly 1/4 of an hour.)
kilosecond1,000 seconds16 minutes and 40 seconds
hour60 minutes
day24 hourslongest unit used on stopwatches and countdowns
week7 daysAlso called sennight
megasecond1,000,000 secondsAbout 11.6 days
fortnight14 days2 weeks (more common in Great Britain)
lunar month27.2–29.5 daysVarious definitions of lunar month exist.
month28–31 days
quarter and season3 monthsThe duration of any of the four calendar seasons; winterspringsummer and autumn.
year12 months

Direction

Direction gives us information of  relative position between two points.

Acceleration

According to me acceleration is a very interesting topic in physics. Acceleration is the change in velocity over unit time. Some time velocity of an object declines and this phenomena is called retardation. Acceleration can be measured using a simple formula. The formula cays that the difference of final and initial velocity divided by unit time is equal to acceleration. 

v-u/t

Newtons law of motion

Their are three laws of motion

1  .When viewed in inertial frame every object remains at rest or at constant velocity until any net force is applied on it.This law is also called the law of inertia, inertia is the property of a object in motion to resist rest.This can be mathematically written as

f=o so dv/dt =o

   
2  .Vector sum of the forces on an object is equal to the product of mass and the sum of acceleration. this also involves the concept of momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. It is also the property of a object in motion to resist rest.

f=dp/dt=d(mv)/dt

Second law states that the net force is equal to the rate of change in linear momentum.

f=m(dv/dt)=ma

Second law can be also written in form of acceleration.

3  .When an object exerts force on other object equal and opposite force returns to the first object.
