When a force acts on matter to make it move will generate motion . Therefore, motion is the movement of matter caused by a force .


Motion's characteristic[edit]

All motion travels a distance over time process the following characteristics

Distance[edit]

specifies the length of travel distance || s || m

Time[edit]

specifies the length of travel distance || t || s

Speed[edit]

specifies the length of travel distance || v || m/s

Acceleration[edit]

specifies the length of travel distance || a || m/s2

Force[edit]

specifies the length of travel distance || F || N

Work[edit]

specifies the length of travel distance || W || Nm

Energy[edit]

specifies the length of travel distance || E || Nm/s

Fundamental motions[edit]
