MOTION
Science of motion is a very important aspect of the branch of physics. It is a common rule of the physical world. But before having a thorough discussion on this topic one must have a common concept in his /her mind that, practically every motion is in a relative state. The motion we are talking about is depending on the place occurred by the object & the observer at that particular time.
Comparative discussion between Rest & Motion:
When do we call an object that if it is in rest or motion? Again, I have to tell you it is dependency on the way or view we are considering from. Suppose there is flower vase on the table. If after few seconds we are seeing that particular object in the same place we can tell that the flower vase is in rest.
Actually we are considering the object with the relative frame of the room. So mathematically, the co-ordinates are not changing with time. So we are seeing that particular vase in the same place. But if we will consider that object from the moon or from any place outside the earth we will notice that the object is changing place with time, as earth is moving!
Hence we can infer from the above mentioned fact that ,there is no absolute rest / absolute motion. This is what depending on the frame of the viewer & object.
If relatively the object and the observer is not changing place we can tell, the object is in rest or if it is changing the object is in motion.
Another instance to describe the science of motion and rest is like that ,when two friends are going by a car the substances in the car are not moving with respect to the boys. But the substances are changing with the frame of places where the car is moving. So with respect to the boys we can say the objects are in rest but in motion with the frame of places.
So to locate a particular object we need some co-ordinates(x,y,z) that is called frame of reference. We cannot tell whether an object is in motion unless we have a frame of reference. A reference frame is another substance with respect to which we compare another object’s position.
The branch of Physics, dealing with the nature of moving objects is known as mechanics. Mechanics is divided into two parts namely Kinematics and Dynamics. Kinematics deals with the study of motion without taking into consideration the cause of motion, while Dynamics is dealing with the cause of motion, that is force.
Here we are concerned about the kinematics only.
Distance and Displacement
Suppose a particular object is traversing from point A at time t1 to point B at time t2 via the path A-C-D-B. So the time taken by the object to reach from A to B is (t2-t1).
Here we can tell that the distance traversed will be A-C-D-B. But the displacement will be A-B.
The length of the path A-C-D-B is called the distance during the time interval t1 and t2. It’s a scalar quantity as it considers the magnitude only.
The magnitude of the displacement is the length of the straight line joining the initial and final position i.e. A – B. It’s a vector quantity as it is considering both the magnitude and direction. It follows triangle rule for vector addition too.
Eva is taking a path from West Gate to East Gate i.e. of 100 m long. Alan is also going from West gate to East gate but he is taking a different way i.e. elongated too. Here from the above diagram we can see the fact. Here the displacement is same for both of them. But the distance traveled by Alan is much more than Eva.

The form of the noun that explains in what relation the noun is standing to some other word is denoted as its Case.
There are five cases of nouns;
- The Nominative
- The Genitive
- The Accusative
- The Dative
- The Vocative
The Nominative Case: The Nominative Case names the thing or the person that suffers or performs the action expressed by a Verb; for example,
“The tiger killed a deer.” In this sentence, the verb ‘killed’ expresses action of killing and the action is performed by ‘the tiger’. So, the ‘tiger’ is in its Nominative Case.
“The baby is fed by her mother.” In this sentence, the verb ‘is fed’ expresses the action of being fed. The person suffers the action is ‘the baby’. So, the ‘baby’ is in its Nominative Case.
To find out Nominative Case in a sentence, you have to consider the verb and ask: “What or who does this?” or “what or who suffers this?” The answer to the question is the noun or pronoun in its Nominative Case.
The noun or the pronoun is the Subject of the respective sentence.
The Genitive Case: The Genitive Case stands for relationship or possession; for example,
“The lion’s mane.” “ The baby’s mother.” Who is the owner of mane? The lion. Who has relationship with the mother? The baby. So, in these sentences, “lion’s” and “baby’s” are in their Genitive Case.
The Genitive Case is generally formed by adding apostrophe s to the noun; such as,
Singular – woman’s.
Plural – women’s.
However, if the plural word ends in s, or if last syllable of a singular starts and ends in s, then the Genitive Case is generally formed by just adding apostrophe.
Singular – Moses’ Law.
Plural – horses’ back.
Points to note:
- Genitive Case is mostly used when the nouns indicate any living thing; such as,
The lion’s mane; the man’s father; the horse’s back, the kid’s toy.
However, if the noun indicates any non-living thing, then the possession is mostly expressed by preposition “of”.
“The windows of the train” ; not “the train’s windows.”
“The heat of fire” ; not “the fire’s heat.”
- Unlike other cases, Genitive Case is indicated by change in the form of a noun.
The Accusative Case: The Accusative Case indicates Direct Object; the force of Preposition or the action of Verb is always directed to that object.
“The tiger killed a deer.” The action of the Verb killed directed to which object? The answer is ‘a deer’; so, ‘deer’ is in its Accusative Case.
The Dative Case: The Dative Case always indicates Indirect Object of the Verb, if there is any.
“I gave Sam a pen.” Sam = to Sam; “Sam” is the Indirect Object in this sentence. “Book” is the Direct Object in this sentence.
The Vocative Case: The Vocative Case always indicates the individual addressed; like,
John, please come here; John is in Vocative Case
Rita, give me the book; Rita is in Vocative Case.
