A. PRE-TEST
Direction: Rearrange the jumbled letters to form the word being described by each
statement. Write your answer on the space provided.
_________ 1. It pertains to the total length traveled by an object. NCEDSITA
_________ 2. It defines as the starting point for measuring motion.
CEERFEERN NOTIP
_________3. It is a speed and direction. ELOVITYC
_________4. An object’s motion is constantly changing. TAALCECRIONE
_________5. It refers to how fast the object is moving. EEPSD

B. CONCEPT NOTE:

Motion can be described as a change in position. But to say that there is a change
in position, we must consider a reference point. A reference point is something that
is stationary. You can determine whether an object moves by comparing its position
to that of a fixed point.
DISTANCE VS. DISPLACEMENT
Distance is the total length covered by the moving body.

Displacement includes both length and direction of the objects path from the
starting point to its end point.

A
B (20) C(25)
D
If a man walks 20 steps forward from point A and point B and moves 5 more steps
to point C, then the man’s total distance is 25 steps while his displacement is 25
steps forward.
If he walks 15 steps backward from point C to point D, then the man’s total distance
is 40 steps (25 steps forward + 15 steps backward) while the displacement is 10
steps forward. Notice that direction is included in the displacement. The
displacement will become zero (0) if he walks back to his original position (back to
point A).

SPEED, VELOCITY, AND ACCELERATION


There are three ways to describe motion. It can be through speed, velocity, and
acceleration. But then again, these terms do not mean the same. They are different
quantities. Let us take them one by one.
Speed refers to how fast the object is moving. It tells you the distance the
object
travels in a period of time. In symbols,
𝑑
S=𝑡 where; s = speed
d = distance
t = time
The SI unit is used to express speed is meters per second (m/s). it can also
be
expressed in other units like kilometers per hour (km/h or kph), meters per
minute
(m/min), and miles per hour (m/h). The road sign “speed limit 60 kph” means
that a
vehicle should travel a distance of 60 km in a period of one hour.

Example:
Lydia de Vega is a world known Filipino track and field athlete. She can run
the
100.0 m dash in about 11.0 seconds. What is her average speed?
Given: d = 100.0m
t = 11.0 s
Required: Average speed =?

Solution:
𝑑
S=
𝑡
100.𝑚
S = 11.0 𝑠
S = 9.09 m/s

VELOCITY

Recall that velocity is vector quantity and thus includes not just the rate but
also the
direction where the object moves. Simply, it is a speed with direction. For example,
we can say that a car is moving at 60 km/h. but to where is it heading? To determine
its location, we need to include its direction. Thus, we can say a car is moving at 60
km/h, north if we want to describe its velocity.
In equation, we can express velocity as:
𝑑
V = 𝑡 where: v = velocity
d = displacement
t = time
Example:
Jed’s house is 6.0 km away from his school. How long would it take him to go to
school, riding a bus, if its velocity is 30 km/h?
Given: d = 6.0 km
v = 30 km/h
Required: time =?
Solution:
𝑑
t=
𝑣
6.0 𝑘𝑚
t = 30 𝑘𝑚/ℎ
t = 0.2 h or 12 minutes
Acceleration
An object’s motion is constantly changing. It cannot achieve a uniform velocity as it
travels.
Whenever there’s a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in both,
there is a change in velocity. This change in velocity describes acceleration.
Acceleration, just like velocity, is a vector quantity.
𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦
Acceleration = 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒
In symbols,
∆𝑉
a= 𝑡
a = vt - vi / t
where: a = acceleration
vt = final velocity
vi = initial velocity
t = time

The unit of measurement to be used for acceleration therefore, is meter per second
(m/s) or meter per square second (m/s2).
For example:
0s 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s
0m/s 2 m/s 4 m/s 6 m/s 8 m/s 10 m/s
From calculation, the cyclist accelerates at 2 m/s every second. This means that the
cyclist changes its velocity by 2.0 m/s every second.
Notice that since the cyclist starts from rest, its initial velocity is zero. Since it
changes its velocity by the same amount per second, the cyclist is said to be moving
at a constant acceleration.
However, if the body is moving at constant velocity or is at rest, then the body does
not accelerate. Changing velocity by speeding up achieves positive acceleration
(accelerating) while those slowing down achieve a negative acceleration
(decorating).

C. POST TEST:
Direction: Compute for the distance, speed, velocity and acceleration of the following
problem. Show your solution.
1. The car is heading north covering in distance of 500 meters in 20.0 seconds.
What is the car’s velocity?
2. What distance would be covered by a moving vehicle in 1 minute if its speed
is 5.0 m/s?
3. If a car accelerates from 5 m/s to 15 m/s in seconds, what is the car’s average
acceleration?
4. An athelete ran a distance of 100 meters in 9.83 seconds. What was his
average speed?
