Motion can be classified by the path that a moving object follows. Explore the different types of motion, such as linear motion, rotary motion, and oscillatory motion.

In physics, motion occurs when an object changes position over time. Explore the types of motion called linear, projectile, circular, and simple harmonic motion, and learn about velocity.

Master the complexities of kinematics of human motion in our quick video lesson. Watch now to gain insights into the mechanics of body movements, then take a quiz.

Learn how to compare the kinematic equations for linear and rotational motion and see examples that walk-through sample problems step-by-step for you to improve your physics knowledge and skills.

In linear motion, Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it but inversely proportional to mass.

Derivatives have many practical applications, including modeling linear motion. In this lesson, learn how to use differentiation to analyze linear motion by finding the velocity and acceleration ...

The four linear equations above can be replaced with rotational variables so that the kinematic equations represent rotational motion instead of linear motion.

When you think about motion, you might think about walking, driving or running, but there are various types of motion in physics. You can test what...

Motion describes movement, and velocity describes how fast and in which direction. Explore the state of motion, properties of speed and velocity,...

Learn how to calculate the linear speed of an object in circular motion, and see examples that walk through sample problems step-by-step for you to improve your physics knowledge and skills.
