    Doubt Motion
Click For Summary
Motion is debated as being scalar, vector, or neither, with some arguing it is not quantifiable. While velocity, momentum, and kinetic energy can be measured, motion itself lacks a numerical value. A definition of motion suggests it is a complex, time-dependent mapping from phase space to phase space. The term "quantifiable" refers to the ability to assign a numerical value to a concept. The discussion highlights the complexity of understanding motion beyond simple classifications.

Is Motion a scalar or vector or neither?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Motion is not something even quantifiable. You can say a system has a higher velocity, or more momentum or more kinetic energy, but not more motion.
 
excuse me, what do you mean by quantifiable?
 
One definition of motion I have seen is a time-dependent map from phase space to phase space. Which is quite a bit more complex than scalar vs vector.
 
'quantifiable' = capable of having a number, or quantity, assigned to it.
 

Thread 'Mousetrap Car Energy efficiency'

For simple comparison, I think the same thought process can be followed as a block slides down a hill, - for block down hill, simple starting PE of mgh to final max KE 0.5mv^2 - comparing PE1 to max KE2 would result in finding the work friction did through the process. efficiency is just 100*KE2/PE1. If a mousetrap car travels along a flat surface, a starting PE of 0.5 k th^2 can be measured and maximum velocity of the car can also be measured. If energy efficiency is defined by...
