CONCEPT 1 -MOTION
WHEN A BODY CHANGES ITS POSITION WITH RESPECT TO TIME OR SURROUNDING , IT IS SAID TO BE IN MOTION. ACTIVITY- WE ARE IN MOTION WITH RESPECT TO OUR SURROUNDINGS AS WELL AS AT REST WITH RESPECT TO THE FELLOW PASSENGERS IN A MOVING BUS.

CONCEPT-2 SLOW &FAST MOTION Moving Slowly An object is said to be moving slowly if it covers less distance in a given time.

Moving Fast An object is said to be moving fast if it covers more distance in a given time
.

ACTIVITY- Ask one student of the class to walk and the other to run at the same time.

CONCEPT- 3. SPEED

Speed The distance covered by an object in a unit time is defined as speed. Objects are said to be in fast or slow motion depending upon the speed of their motion. Speed varies from object to object, and it can be animate or inanimate. Speed is calculated using the expression Speed= Distance/Time The unit for speed is meter per second (m/s). Large speeds are measured in kilometre per hour (km/h). The symbols for units are written in singular form only. For example, the speed of the cheetah is 112 km/h, and Speed of giant tortoise = 0.27 km/h.

Average Speed The average speed of a moving object is defined as the total distance covered by it divided by the total time taken. AVERAGE SPEED = TOTAL DISTANCE COVERED/TOTAL TIME

Speedometer

An instrument used in vehicles to show speed. Not all moving vehicles have a speedometer. The speedometer has a needle that indicates the speed.

Odometer

An odometer is a device on vehicles to track the distance covered.

CONCEPT- 4. UNIFORM & NON-UNIFORM MOTION

Uniform Motion Objects that move in a straight line and maintain the same speed throughout the distance covered are said to be in uniform motion.
UNIFORM MOTION

Non-Uniform Motion Objects that move in straight line and whose speed varies are said to be in non-uniform motion
NON-UNIFORM MOTION

HAND OUTS 1. The distance moved by an object in a unit time is called speed. 2. Speed of objects help us to decide which one is moving faster than the other. 3. The distance covered by an object in a unit time is defined as speed
4. Periodic events are used for the measurement of time. 5. Motion of objects can be presented in pictorial form by their distance time graph

6. The distance time graph for the motion of an object moving with a constant speed is a straight line.
