Introduction (Class 9 Motion Notes)
Before studying Motion, students should understand the basic concept of Physical Quantities and Measurement because motion is measured using distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and time. ( Class 9 Motion Notes )
इस अध्याय को पढ़ने से पहले छात्रों को मापन (Measurement) और भौतिक राशियों (Physical Quantities) की जानकारी होनी चाहिए क्योंकि गति को दूरी, समय, वेग आदि के माध्यम से मापा जाता है। ( click here : class 9 NOTES )
Motion is one of the most important chapters in Physics because it forms the foundation for advanced topics like Force and Laws of Motion, Gravitation, Work-Energy, and Mechanics.

1. What is Motion?
A body is said to be in motion if its position changes with time relative to its surroundings.
यदि किसी वस्तु की स्थिति समय के साथ बदलती है, तो वह वस्तु गति में कहलाती है।
Examples
- Moving car
- Running student
- Flying bird
- Rotating fan
2. Rest and Motion ( Class 9 Motion Notes )
Rest
If an object does not change its position with time, it is said to be at rest.
यदि वस्तु अपनी स्थिति नहीं बदलती है, तो वह विराम अवस्था में होती है।
Motion
If an object changes its position with time, it is in motion.
यदि वस्तु समय के साथ अपनी स्थिति बदलती है, तो वह गति में होती है।
3. Distance and Displacement ( Class 9 Motion Notes )
Distance
Total path covered by an object.
वस्तु द्वारा तय किया गया कुल मार्ग दूरी कहलाता है।
Features
- Scalar quantity
- Never negative
- SI Unit = meter (m)
Displacement
Shortest distance between initial and final position.
प्रारंभिक और अंतिम स्थिति के बीच की न्यूनतम दूरी विस्थापन कहलाती है।
Features
- Vector quantity
- Can be zero
- Has direction
Difference Between Distance and Displacement
| Distance | Displacement |
|---|---|
| Total path | Shortest path |
| Scalar | Vector |
| Always positive | Can be zero |
| No direction | Has direction |
4. Scalar and Vector Quantity ( Class 9 Motion Notes )
Scalar Quantity
Only magnitude.
Example:
- Distance
- Speed
- Time
Vector Quantity
Magnitude + Direction.
Example:
- Velocity
- Displacement
- Acceleration
5. Speed
Distance travelled per unit time is called speed.
इकाई समय में तय की गई दूरी को चाल कहते हैं।
Formula
Speed = Distance / Time
SI Unit
m/s
Types of Speed
- Uniform Speed
- Non-uniform Speed
- mean speed
Average Speed Formula ( Class 9 Motion Notes )
Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
6. Velocity
Displacement per unit time is called velocity.
इकाई समय में विस्थापन को वेग कहते हैं।
Formula
Velocity = Displacement / Time
Important Point
Velocity has direction.
7. Acceleration
Rate of change of velocity is called acceleration.
वेग परिवर्तन की दर को त्वरण कहते हैं।
Formula
a = (v – u) / t
Where:
- u = initial velocity
- v = final velocity
- t = time
Types of Acceleration ( Class 9 Motion Notes )
Positive Acceleration
Velocity increases.
Negative Acceleration (Retardation)
Velocity decreases.
8. Equations of Motion
These equations are very important for numericals and board exams.
ये समीकरण बोर्ड परीक्षा और न्यूमेरिकल के लिए अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण हैं।
First Equation of Motion
v = u + at
Second Equation of Motion
s = ut + (1/2)at²
Third Equation of Motion
v² – u² = 2as
9. Graphical Representation of Motion
Distance-Time Graph
- Straight line → Uniform motion
- Curved line → Non-uniform motion
Velocity-Time Graph
- Slope gives acceleration
- Area gives displacement
10. Uniform Circular Motion
When an object moves in a circular path with constant speed, it is called uniform circular motion.
जब कोई वस्तु वृत्ताकार पथ में समान चाल से चलती है, तो उसे समान वृत्तीय गति कहते हैं।
Examples
- Clock hands
- Satellite motion
- Earth revolving around Sun
Important Formula Section ( Class 9 Motion Notes )
Basic Motion Formula
1. Speed Formula

2. Average Speed Formula
Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
3. Velocity Formula
Velocity = Displacement / Time
4. Acceleration Formula
Acceleration = (Final Velocity – Initial Velocity) / Time

7. Third Equation of Motion
v² – u² = 2as
Symbol Meanings ( Class 9 Motion Notes )
u = Initial Velocity
v = Final Velocity
a = Acceleration
t = Time
s = Displacement
SI Units ( Class 9 Motion Notes )
Speed = m/s
Velocity = m/s
Acceleration = m/s²
Distance = meter (m)
Time = second (s)
Hindi Explanation
चाल = दूरी / समय
वेग = विस्थापन / समय
त्वरण = (अंतिम वेग – प्रारंभिक वेग) / समय

| Symbol | Meaning |
| u | Initial Velocity |
| v | Final Velocity |
| a | Acceleration |
| s | Displacement |
| t | Time |
| m/s | Meter per second |
| km/h | Kilometer per hour |
Key Facts
- Distance can never be negative.
- Displacement may be zero.
- Velocity is a vector quantity.
- Speed is scalar.
- Acceleration can be positive or negative.
- Slope of velocity-time graph gives acceleration.
- Area under velocity-time graph gives displacement.
Important Numerical Concepts
Example 1
A car travels 100 m in 20 s. Find speed.
Solution:
Speed = \frac{100}{20} = 5\ m/s
Answer = 5 m/s
Example 2
Initial velocity = 10 m/s
Final velocity = 30 m/s
Time = 5 s
Find acceleration.
Solution:
a = \frac{30-10}{5} = 4\ m/s^2
Answer = 4 m/s²
