What is the differences between motion and movement?

good question . i never thought of it .i also demand for answer...........

Physics? I can't think of any. There may be some grammar/usage differences.

yes , there is difference in the meaning , like hear and listen

 

i think that motion is for any part or the displacemant of the body , where as movement is to the hole body

English is not my native language

my native languages are turkish and kurdish..

 

english-turkish

motion=hareket

movement=hareket

 

 

are they Synonyms ?

I think they are essentially the same. For sure in mechanics there is no technical meaning attatched.

are they Synonyms ?

 

Yes. If you look either one up in a thesaurus, you will find the other.

They are often used interchangeably, but also generally used in different contexts.

 

Say for instance, referring to the motion of a boat at sea vs the movement of a boat at sea. The first would refer to the pattern, and the latter more the displacement.
