Motion vs Movement
Begge udtryk angiver bevægelse og kan i visse situationer erstatte hinanden:
Time and motion study: the systematic investigation and analysis of the motions and the
time required to perform a specific operation or task with a view to seeking more efficient
methods of production as well as setting time standards. Also called time study, motion study
(Webster).
Alternativt ses: a motion study is a study of movements ... (helhed vs detalje); motions mere
højtideligt end movements.
Endvidere: Brownian movement = Brownian motion (Illingworth 1991)
Typiske anvendelser:
Motion: der udtrykkes generel (abstrakt) fysisk bevægelse i modsætning til stilstand,
kontinuerlig bevægelse (evt. summation eller integrering af enkeltbevægelser (movements)),
måden bevægelsen udføres på, evt. ligeledes en enkeltbevægelse.
Motionless: without any movement
A stream represents water in motion
Name some devices in which electricity is used to produce
motion
Laws of motion, Newton's first law of motion
Motion sickness (cf. the motion of the boat (or the motion of the coach) made me
sick, men: the movement of the boat from one berth to another)
Motion picture camera (ImageTech) A camera for the exposure of cinematograph
film, intermittently, one frame at a time, to record movement (motion mere abstrakt,
hele scenen)
Objects photographed in motion
Observe how electric motors use magnets and coils to produce rotary motion
..., how the engine converts petrol vapour and air into rotary motion
Air drag. Resistance to the motion of a body passing through the Earth's atmosphere
(movement kunne antyde f.eks. ændring i banen eller rotation)
