Motion
In physics, motion is the phenomenon in which an object changes its position over time. Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and time. The motion of a body is observed by attaching a frame of reference to an observer and measuring the change in position of the body relative to that frame with change in time. The branch of physics describing the motion of objects without reference to its cause is kinematics; the branch studying forces and their effect on motion is dynamics. If an object is not changing relatively to a given frame of reference, the object is said to be ''at rest'', ''motionless'', ''immobile'', ''stationary'', or to have a constant or time-invariant position with reference to its surroundings. As there is no absolute frame of reference, '' absolute motion'' cannot be determined. Thus, everything in the universe can be considered to be in motion. Motion applies to various physical systems: to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
