Laws of Motion
May 5, 2023
Newton’s laws of motion all describe its interaction with force. Here are some principles that strictly deal only with motion (movement/change) in relation to space and time.
Motion is change in spatial occupancy.
Objects move by change in position, rotation or formation.
Motion occurs toward or anywhere in between six directions in relation to an object/observer which are the two opposing directions of the x, y and z axes:
forward and backward
left and right
up and down
Motion’s possible pathways are three-dimensional.
Motion’s speed is the amount of spatial change over time.
Change in the speed of motion is acceleration or deceleration.
Change in the direction of motion is a turn.
Motionless is unchanging spatial occupancy
The pathway of motion in one direction forms a line.
The pathway of motion with any degree of turn in only one other direction forms a two-dimensional shape.
The pathway of motion with turns on all three dimensional axes forms a three-dimensional shape.
