Motion in One Dimension: Introduction
A boy cycling on a road, a bird flying in the sky, a train moving on a track, a bullet fired from the gun, a ball dropped from a height etc. are all examples of motion taking place in and around us. Can you identify which of the motion in the examples comes under motion in one dimension? When a ball is dropped from a height, can you tell the speed in which it would hit the ground? Do you know how to find the time taken by a body to reach the ground if it is dropped from the top of a building? Do you know how to describe the motion in one dimension using mathematical equations?
In this lesson, you will find the answers to all these questions.
Any object that moves in a straight line comes under motion in one dimension.
A boy cycling on a straight road, and a train moving on a track are examples of motion in one dimension.
