# motion (movement)

Change of place: a thing is here, and after, it is there.

- Computed level: L2 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: published  ·  Domain: physics  ·  Arena: E1

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [change](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-change.process), [space](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-space.extent), [time](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-time.dimension)

**Through:** Change applied to location over time: the same thing at different places at different times.

**Novel properties:**
- trajectory
- velocity
- direction

## Examples
- The International Space Station orbits Earth every 93 minutes at 28,000 km/h. *(physics)*
- A cheetah accelerates from 0 to 96 km/h in three seconds during a hunt in the Serengeti. *(biology)*
- The Mars Curiosity rover drove 29 kilometers across the Martian surface between 2012 and 2023. *(engineering)*
