Motion refers to the change in position of an object over time. It can be described in terms of speed, direction, and distance. When an object moves, it can be influenced by various forces, which are pushes or pulls that can change its motion. Forces can be categorized as contact forces, like friction and tension, or non-contact forces, such as gravity and magnetism. The relationship between motion and forces is explained by Newton's Laws of Motion, which describe how objects respond to forces acting upon them. Understanding these concepts helps us analyze everyday movements and interactions.
