Class- 7 Science
Chapter 9 – Motion and Time

Motion
● The movement of an object or the tendency of an object to move from their
place with respect to time is called motion.
● For example: Movement of the pendulum of clock is a motion, falling of
leaves from tree is a motion etc.
● There are two types of motions
1. Uniform Motion: If an object moves in a straight line at a constant speed
i.e., speed is not changing over time, then the motion is uniform motion.
2. Non-Uniform Motion: If an object moves in a straight line and the speed of
an object changes over time, then the motion is non-uniform motion.

Speed
● The distance covered by an object per unit time is called speed. Thus,
D
S where S represent the speed of an object, D represent the distance
T
covered by an object and T represent the time taken by the object.
● SI unit of speed is m / s .

Measurement of Time
● In earlier periods, the shadow of objects casted by the sun was used to
measure the time.
● Simple Pendulum:
● It is a type of clock used to measure time and is a best example of periodic
motion.
● Periodic or oscillatory motion is the to and fro movement of an object.
● Oscillation: The process of moving back and forth.
● The time taken by the pendulum to complete one complete oscillation is
called time period.
● The basic or SI unit of time is seconds and denoted by s.

Measuring Speed:
● Speedometer: It is a device used to measure the speed of a vehicle in Km / hr
● Odometer: It is a device used to measure the distance covered by a vehicle.

Distance-Time Graph
● It is used to study the motion of an object.
● The distance is represented on the Y-axis and time is represented on the
X-axis.
● If the distance-time graph is a straight line then the motion is uniform
motion.
● If the distance-time graph is moving upwards then the speed of the object is
increasing.
● If the distance-time graph is moving downwards then speed of object is
decreasing
● If the distance-time graph is parallel to X-axis then the object is said to be
in rest.
● The slope of the distance-time graph gives the speed of the object.
● If there is a curve in the distance-time graph then the speed of the object is
changing.
