Title: Motion
Description: This image has captured motion. Motion in physics means the change in location of the body. Change in motion is the result of applied force. An object's momentum is directly related to the objects mass and velocity. A body which is motionless relative to a given reference frame, moves relative to infinitely many other frames. Thus everything in the universe is moving.
