Rainbow Mind Map: Motion
1. Motion
A body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with time, with respect to a reference point.
A body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with time, with respect to a reference point.
2. Rest
A body is said to be at rest if it does not change its position with time relative to a reference point.
A body is said to be at rest if it does not change its position with time relative to a reference point.
3. Relative Terms
Rest and motion are relative terms — a body may be in motion with respect to one object and at rest with respect to another.

4. Types of Motion
• Translatory: Whole body moves along a path.
• Circular: Motion in a circular path (e.g., fan blades).
• Oscillatory: To and fro motion (e.g., pendulum).
• Random: No fixed path (e.g., dust particles in air).

• Oscillatory: To and fro motion (e.g., pendulum).
• Random: No fixed path (e.g., dust particles in air).
5. Periodic & Non-Periodic Motion
• Periodic: Repeats in equal intervals (e.g., Earth’s rotation).
• Non-Periodic: Irregular and unpredictable (e.g., car honking).
• Periodic: Repeats in equal intervals (e.g., Earth’s rotation).
• Non-Periodic: Irregular and unpredictable (e.g., car honking).
6. Uniform Motion
Motion in which a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. Speed remains constant.
Motion in which a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. Speed remains constant.
7. Non-Uniform Motion
Motion in which a body covers unequal distances in equal time intervals. Speed keeps changing.
Motion in which a body covers unequal distances in equal time intervals. Speed keeps changing.
