Motion: The action or process of moving or being moved.
The distance moved by an object in a unit time is called its speed.
Speed of objects help us to decide which one is moving faster than the other.
The speed of an object is the distance travelled divided by the time taken to cover that distance.
Its basic unit is mere per second (m/s). (Scroll down till end of the page)

Periodic events are used for the measurement of time.
Periodic motion of a pendulum has been used to make clocks and watches.
Motion of objects can be presented in pictorial form by their distance-time graphs.
The distance-time graph for the motion of an object moving with a constant speed is a straight line.
Uniform Motion ANd Non – Uniform Motion:
- Uniform motion: An object moving with a constant speed is said to be in uniform motion. The average speed is the same as the actual speed.
- Non-Uniform motion: If the speed of a moving object keeps changing, the object is said to be in non-uniform motion.
Speed: It is the distance covered by an object in a unit time.
Speed = Total distance/ Total Time
Basic unit of speed is m/s.
Distance-Time Graph: Motion of objects can be presented in pictorial form by their distance-time graphs.
