1. The path of an object's motion refers to the trajectory it follows through space as it moves. This trajectory can be straight, curved, or irregular, depending on factors such as speed, direction, and external forces acting upon it, shaping the route from its starting point to its current position.

  2. The term used to describe the speed of an object moving in a definite direction is called velocity. Velocity not only includes the speed of the object but also specifies the direction in which the object is moving.

  3. Uniform motion is characterized by an object covering equal distances in equal time intervals, regardless of the duration of these intervals. This indicates a constant speed and direction, meaning the object's velocity remains unchanged throughout the motion.

    Consider a passenger on a train moving at a constant speed. If the reference point is the train itself, the passenger’s position remains constant since they are not moving relative to the train. However, if the reference point is a stationary platform outside the train, the passenger’s position continuously changes as the train moves. This illustrates how selecting different reference points—the train versus the platform—alters the description of the passenger’s position, highlighting the importance of the reference point in defining motion.
