NCERT Solutions for Class 9th: Ch 8 Motion
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Science Chapter 8 – Motion is defined for movement. If any object is continuously changing its position with time, it is said to be in motion. Examples are, a moving car, a boy running. If any object is not changing its position with time it is said to be in rest. A body may be in rest for one object and in motion for another. Two people sitting in train are in rest with respect to each other. But, they are in motion with some person the train. So, rest or motion is defined for some particular reference point. Here, we are basically concerned about straight line motion. Distance is total path covered by a person in motion. Speed defined as distance travelled by time taken. Displacement is defined as shortest distance between initial and final distance.
Velocity is defined as displacement by time. After that, concept of uniform and Non-uniform motion is discussed. Uniform motion is defined as when same distance is travelled at same time. The acceleration of an object is the change in velocity per unit time. Uniform and non-uniform motions of objects can be shown through graphs. Distance time and velocity time graph has been discussed. The motion of an object moving at uniform acceleration can be described with the help of equation of motion.
- v=u+at
- S=ut +1/2 at2
- v2-u2=2as
Here, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration, s is displacement, t is time. If an object moves in a circular path with uniform speed, its motion is called uniform circular motion.
