Motion and Measurement of Distances is a key topic in physics that enables us to understand how objects move and how their movement can be quantified. Motion refers to the change in an object's position over time and can take various forms, including linear, circular, or oscillatory motion. The measurement of distances involves using different tools and units to quantify the length of the path traveled by an object.

Limitations of our senses and body parts:
Periodic Motion-A motion that occurs when an object moves in a repeated pattern (a cycle) over equal periods of time is called a periodic motion. Example-Motion of a pendulum bob.
Oscillatory Motion-A motion that occurs when an object moves to and fro about its mean position over equal periods of time is called an oscillatory motion or vibratory motion. Example-Motion of a vibrating stretched spring
