ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Learning Junction Motion and Speed – Definition, Formula, Types, and Examples
Hello friends! Today, we’re going to explore the exciting world of motion and speed. Imagine you’re playing with your toy train. If it’s moving around a circular track, it’s in circular motion because the path it follows is a circle.
Motion happens when something changes its position over time. For example, when garbage moves into a bin, it’s in motion. But if the bin stays in the same spot, it’s not moving; it’s at rest or stationary.
Motion can be divided into three main types based on how things move:
In linear motion, objects move from one place to another in a straight or curved line. There are two kinds of linear motion:
Rotatory motion is when something spins around its own center or axis. A great example is the Earth rotating around its axis.
Oscillatory motion is a back-and-forth movement around a central point. Think of a clock’s pendulum swinging from side to side.
Now, let’s talk about speed. Speed tells us how fast something is moving. It’s the rate at which an object changes its position.
There are different types of speed:
Now you know a lot about motion and speed! Keep exploring and learning more about the world around you. Goodbye!
Explore your surroundings and find examples of different types of motion. Look for objects in linear, rotatory, and oscillatory motion. Take notes or draw pictures of what you find and share them with the class.
Work in pairs to measure the speed of a toy car. Use a stopwatch to time how long it takes for the car to travel a certain distance. Calculate the speed using the formula: speed = distance / time. Compare your results with your classmates.
Draw a storyboard that illustrates a day in the life of an object in motion. Include examples of linear, rotatory, and oscillatory motion. Present your storyboard to the class and explain the types of motion depicted.
Play a game of charades where you act out different types of motion and speed scenarios. Your classmates will guess the type of motion or speed you are demonstrating. This will help reinforce your understanding of the concepts.
Create a simple pendulum using string and a small weight. Observe the oscillatory motion and discuss how the length of the string affects the speed and motion of the pendulum. Record your observations and share them with the class.

Hello friends! Today we will learn about motion and speed. You are playing with your toy train, which is in circular motion because the path traveled by the toy train is circular.
What is motion? When an object changes its position with respect to time, it is called “in motion.” For example, garbage moving into a bin is in motion, but the bin itself is not changing its position with respect to time; it is said to be at rest, motionless, or stationary.
Now, let’s look at the types of motion. According to the nature of the movement, motion is divided into three types:
1. **Linear Motion**: In this motion, particles move from one point to another in either a straight line or a curved path. Linear motion is further divided into two subcategories:
– **Rectilinear Motion**: The path of the motion is a straight line. For example, a moving car traveling in a straight line.
– **Curvilinear Motion**: The path of the motion is curved. For example, the movement of a snake is curvilinear as it moves in a curved fashion.
2. **Rotatory Motion**: This is the motion that occurs when a body rotates around its own axis. An example of this is the Earth rotating about its axis.
3. **Oscillatory Motion**: This is the to-and-fro motion of a body about its fixed position. For example, the pendulum of a clock exhibits oscillatory motion as it moves to and fro about its mean position.
Let’s keep this chart memorized for your classwork.
Now, you are standing here and see how fast the vehicles are moving on the road; they are moving at a very high speed.
Let’s study speed. Speed is simply the rate of change of position of an object in any direction.
Now we will see the types of speed:
– **Uniform Speed**: When an object travels a fixed distance with the same time gaps, it is said to have uniform speed. For example, a ship sailing in a straight path at a constant speed.
– **Non-Uniform Speed**: When an object covers different distances in different time gaps, it is said to have non-uniform speed. For example, a kid swimming at varying speeds.
– **Average Speed**: The total distance traveled by an object divided by the total time taken by the object is known as average speed. The formula for speed is given as speed = distance / time.
Now you know a lot about the topic! Stay tuned for more videos. Goodbye!

This version removes any unnecessary filler words and maintains clarity while keeping the educational content intact.
Motion – Motion is the change in position of an object over time. – The motion of the car was smooth as it traveled down the highway.
Speed – Speed is the distance an object travels per unit of time. – The cheetah’s speed allows it to catch its prey quickly.
Linear – Linear refers to motion in a straight line. – The train moved in a linear path along the tracks.
Curvilinear – Curvilinear describes motion along a curved path. – The roller coaster followed a curvilinear track through the amusement park.
Rotatory – Rotatory motion is when an object spins around an axis. – The rotatory motion of the Earth causes day and night.
Oscillatory – Oscillatory motion is back-and-forth movement in a regular rhythm. – The pendulum of the clock swings in an oscillatory motion.
Uniform – Uniform motion means moving at a constant speed in a straight line. – The car maintained a uniform speed on the highway.
Non-uniform – Non-uniform motion means moving with varying speeds or directions. – The cyclist’s non-uniform motion made it difficult to predict his path.
Average – Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. – The average speed of the trip was 60 kilometers per hour.
Distance – Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object. – The distance between the two cities is 150 kilometers.
