What’s In
About two centuries ago, people used animals like horses and donkeys to
transport people and goods. In 1860, the internal combustion engine was
developed by Nicolaus Otto that led the way to the invention of motor cars, trains,
ships, airplanes and jets which enabled people to travel faster. All of these
involved motion
What I Know
Direction: Read each question carefully and choose the letter of the best
answer. In your answer sheet, write the letter that corresponds to your answer.
1. It is a continuous change in position of an object with respect to a reference
point.
A. At rest B. Magnitude C. Motion D. Reference
2. When is an object considered to be in motion?
What’s New
Motion is the change in position with respect to the reference point. An
object is said to be moving when it has traveled a certain distance or displaced
from a point of reference. Describing the point of reference and its direction will be
learned by performing activity 2.
Example:
A car ran 100 meters from point A to point B, then 50 meters from point B to
point C, and another 100 meters from point C to point D.
See Figure 3.
To solve the total length of path travelled you can simply add the length of
path from points A to B, B to C and C to D.
Total length of path = length A to B + length B to C + length C to D.
= 100 meters + 50 meters + 100 meters
Total length of path = 250 meters
The length of the entire path that the object travelled is referred to as
distance. Based on the example above,
the total length of path is equal to 250 meters. This means that the distance
travelled by the car is equal to 250 meters.
Displacement is the shortest distance between the object’s initial and final
positions as shown in Figure 4.
To solve the displacement of the car, simply subtract the final position by
the initial position.
Displacement = Final position – Initial position
= 50 - 0
Displacement = 50 meters
Distance is a scalar quantity it has
magnitude but no direction while
displacement is a vector quantity that has both
magnitude and direction

Activity 3: My Travel
Directions: Trace the distance and displacement using the figure below and
answer the questions that follows on the space provided.
Situation:
You are told to buy some foods in the market. You walked 12 m East from
home, 12 m North, 6 m West, 6 m South, 6 m West, and finally, 8 m North to
reach the market.
Questions:
______8. The displacement is equal to zero when an object’s initial and final
position is the same.
______9. The shortest distance between the initial and final position of the object is
called displacement.
What Is It
Speed and Velocity
Speed is the rate of distance covered at a given time.
Examples:
Therefore, John is as fast as Mary. Both have the same speed of 1 meter
per second (1 m/s).
As shown in Figure 7a, the total distance from home to school is 3.0 km
while the displacement is 2.0 km, East as shown in Figure 7b.
Suppose you take 0.5 hour to travel from home to school, use the
information in Figure 7a and 7b to solve for your average speed and velocity.
Average and Instantaneous Speed
Average speed is the total distance travelled divided by the total time
of travel. Instantaneous speed is the speed at an instant in time
When you ride a vehicle it is not only the speed that changes but also
its direction. A vehicle may travel North, West, East or South. Average velocity is
the total displacement (final position - initial position) travelled divided by the total
time of travel. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at an instant
time. Constant Motion
What Is It
Vehicles rarely move at constant speed but oftentimes they
changed speed. Consider the figure below
T
he figure shows the speedometer’s readings of a car at 1 second interval within 4
seconds. At time 00:00, the car is at rest. The car started to move at 00:01s with a
speed of 5 km/h until at 00:04s the car’s speed is 50 km/h.
Example:
A passenger vehicle with a speed of 20 m/s slowed down to 10 m/s in
10 seconds. What is its acceleration?
Motion is
a change in (1) __________ with respect to a reference point. Distance and
displacement, speed and velocity, and acceleration are ways to describe motion.
Distance is a (2) ________ quantity having magnitude but no direction while (3)
__________ is a vector quantity having both magnitude and direction.
(4) __________ speed refers to the total distance travelled divided by
the total time and (5) __________ is displacement divided by total time of travel. A
(6)__________ measures instantaneous speed/velocity. (7)________ motion refers to
an object moving with constant speed or constant velocity.
(8) __________ is defined as the change in velocity in a time interval.
Acceleration may change in any of the following conditions: when the velocity
changes, when the (9)__________ of motion changes, or when both velocity and
direction of motion changes. (10) __________ is the opposite of acceleration where
the velocity of an object decreases
