Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

The different forms of the motions observed inside nature. Depending on the source, the nature of the force, the motion of the object is different. In Newtonian mechanics, the motion of the object can be defined with the help of velocity, acceleration, displacement, and time. These quantities are interconnected with each other with the help of kinematical equations of motion.
