Motion (Advocacy)

In the House or Senate chamber, a request by a member to institute any of a wide array of parliamentary actions. The member "moves" for a certain procedure, such as the consideration of a measure. The precedence of motions, and whether they are debatable, are both set forth in the House and Senate manuals.

Motion (Child Support)

An application to the court requesting an order or rule in favor of the party that is filing the motion. Motions are generally made in reference to a pending action and may address a matter in the court's discretion or concern a point of law.

Motion (Classic Yoga)

Misunderstandings continue to be piled around this concept. Hearing about motion and mobility, people turn into restless runners. But can bustle be fitting for the higher manifestations? Similarly, people do not distinguish outer for inner movement, yet such a distinction is quite essential; it saves one from bustle, which unavoidably leads to falsehood.
Likewise, inner motion will bestow dignity of movement. (BR, 499)

Motion (Congressional)

In the House or Senate chamber, a request by a member to institute any of a wide array of parliamentary actions. The member "moves" for a certain procedure, such as the consideration of a measure. The precedence of motions, and whether they are debatable, is set forth in the House and Senate manuals.

Motion (Divorce)

A written or oral request to the court for some type of action.

Motion (Explosives)

Motion, in Mechanics, the change in position of one body with respect to another. The study of the motion of bodies is called Dynamics. The time rate of linear motion in a given direction by a body is its velocity; this rate is called the speed if the direction is unspecified. If during a time t a body travels over a distance s, then the average speed of that body is s/t. The change in velocity (in magnitude and/or direction) of a body with respect to time is its acceleration.
The relationship between Force and motion was expressed by Isaac Newton in his three laws of motion:
(1) a body at rest tends to remain at rest, or a body in motion tends to remain in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted on by an outside force;
(2) the acceleration a of a mass m by a force F is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass, or a = F/m;
(3) for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The third law implies that the total Momentum of a system of bodies not acted on by an external force remains constant (Conservation Laws). Motion at speeds approaching that of light must be described by the theory of Relativity, and the motions of extremely small objects (atoms and elementary particles) are described by quantum mechanics ( Quantum Theory).

Motion (Family Law)

A request to the court.

Motion (Law)

An application made to a court or judge which requests a ruling or order in favor of the applicant.
