Physics studies matter, energy, and their interactions. The physics of motion involves the change of position of a body, initiated by an applied force. Motion is described by speed and velocity, which includes direction. Acceleration is the change in speed over time and is caused by a force applied to the body. Momentum is the product of an object’s velocity and its mass.
Movement refers to a change in position. Physics is the scientific study of matter, energy and their interactions. It includes fields such as acoustics, cryogenics, electromagnetism, optics and mechanics, which refer to the study of how force acts on matter or material systems and includes the physics of motion, the scientific study of motion.
In the physics of movement, it is typical to talk about the change of position of a “body”. The applied force is the initiator of a change in motion, which can mean initiating motion, stopping motion, or changing direction. Without an applied force, bodies tend to resist acceleration and to remain stationary if they are stationary or, when moving in a straight line, to continue moving in a straight line.
Motion is usually described using several typical parameters, including speed. Velocity is the rate of change of a body’s position, so it refers both to speed – distance traveled in a certain period of time – and to direction, so it’s a vector. However, it is often represented by the equation v = d/t, where v represents speed, d represents distance, and t represents time. It is usually reported in meters per second.
The second parameter is acceleration, which is the change in speed over time. Like velocity, acceleration is a vector. It is caused by a force applied to the body.
The greater the mass of the body, the greater the force that must be applied to cause a certain amount of acceleration. This relationship is expressed by the equation F = ma where F represents force, m represents mass, and a represents acceleration. The directional aspect of the force is also important. Acting in the same direction as a body’s original velocity, the force will only change the velocity and not the direction. Acting in the opposite direction of the original speed will decrease the speed rather than increase it.
Momentum is another frequently used term in motion physics and, like velocity, is a vector. As defined in classical mechanics, momentum is the product of an object’s velocity and its mass. It is expressed by the equation p = mv where p represents momentum, m represents mass, and v represents velocity. The directionality of momentum is the same as the directionality of velocity, and the change in momentum when a force is applied is related to both the amount of force and the time it is applied.
