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

All motion travels a distance over time process the following characteristics

Distance

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

Time

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

Speed

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

Acceleration

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

Force

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

Work

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

Energy

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

Fundamental motions

• Linear motion
• Curve motion
• Momentum
• Circular motion
• Arc motion
• Wave
• Oscillation
