 What I Need to Know

Many of the things around us move. Some move slowly like turtles and
clouds, others move more quickly like the satellites. Motion is so common and
it seems to be very simple. Describing motion actually requires careful use of
scientific definitions.

This module provides you with scientific knowledge and skills

necessary to describe motion along a straight path. You will learn to describe
the motion of objects in terms of position and distance travelled with respect
to time. You will also learn to interpret the motion of objects using illustrations.

After going through this Self-Learning Module, you should be able to:
describe the motion of an object in terms of distance or displacement,
speed or velocity, and acceleration. (S7FE-IIIa-1)

This module consists of three (3) lessons:

Lesson 1 - Distance and Displacement
Lesson 2 - Speed and Velocity
Lesson 3 - Acceleration

In going through the module, you have to extend your patience in

understanding and analyzing what you are reading. Follow the directions
and/or instructions in the activities. Answer the entire given tests and activities
carefully. Comply with the activities provided.

Lesson
Distance and Displacement
1

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’s In

Activity 1: Sketch It
Directions: Copy Figure 1 completely in a graphing paper. Consider the
center of your graphing paper as the reference point. Sketch the four vector
quantities in one graphing paper following the given example. Paste your
graphing paper in your Science activity notebook.

Example:
6 meters East

8 meters East
10 meters North
12 meters West
14 meters South

 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.

Activity 2: My Road Map

Directions: Below is a road map showing two routes from home to school.
Which route will you choose and why? Write your answers in your Science
activity notebook.

HOME

Figure 2. Road Map from Home to School

What Is It

6
 Motion is the change in position for a particular time interval. If a body
has changed its position, we can say that it has moved with respect to its
original position. Thus, the original position serves as the reference point.
An object may be moving with respect to another reference. For
example, when you are inside a bus, you are not moving with respect to the
other passengers, but you are moving with respect to the ground.
Motion can be described by measuring the total length of the path
travelled by the object, and by measuring the distance between the initial
position and final position of the
object.

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
Figure 3: Distance travelled
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.
Figure 4. Displacement
Displacement = Final position – Initial position

7
 = 50 meters – 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.

TRUE and F if the statement is FALSE.

1. Kilogram is a unit for distance.

2. The quantity 2 meters is a distance.
3. The quantity 2 kilometers is a displacement.
4. The quantity 2 meters to the left is a distance.
5. The quantity 2 meters to the left is a displacement.
6. Distance is the length of the entire path travelled by an object.
7. Displacement includes both distance and direction of the object’s
position.
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.
10. The total distance travelled of an object from its initial position to a
certain position and back to its initial position is zero.

 What’s New

Activity 2: Who Walks Faster?

Directions: Read the text inside the box then answer the questions below to
help John and Mary determine who walks faster. Write your answers in your
Science activity notebook.

1. Compare how fast John walked than Mary.

2. What is the basis of your answer in number 1?

What is it?

Speed and Velocity

Speed is the rate of distance covered at a given time.

10
 distance d
speed= ; in symbols, v=
time t

We can express speed in terms of miles per hour (mi/h), kilometers per
hour (km/h), or meters per second (m/s).
Examples:

Solving for Mary’s speed: Solving for John’s speed:

Given: Given:
d = 200 m d = 400 m
t = 200 s t = 400 s
Asked: Asked:
v=? v=?
Formula: Formula:

Solution: Solution:
d d
v= v=
t t
200m 400 m
v= v=
200 s 400 s
v=1 m/s v=1 m/s

Therefore, John is as fast as Mary. Both have the same speed

of 1 meter per second (1 m/s).
When a direction is associated with speed, it refers to the quantity
known as velocity. Thus, velocity is a speed in a given direction.
Since velocity has direction it uses displacement instead of distance.

Figure 7a. Distance Figure 7b. Displacement

11
 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.

Solving for average speed: Solving for average velocity:

A change in velocity happens when there is a change in:
A. Magnitude (speed)
Example: 60 km/h, North to 40 km/h, North
B. Direction of motion
Example: 60 km/h, North to 60 km/h, South
C. Both magnitude and direction
Example: 60 km/h, North to 40 km/h, South

Average and Instantaneous Speed

12
 Average speed is the total distance travelled divided by the total time of
travel. Instantaneous speed is the speed at an instant
in time.
A vehicle has a speedometer that tells you
the speed at that instant or at that moment in time. As
the vehicle travels along a busy street, you will notice
that the speedometer may read 30 km/h. It may Figure 8. Speedometer
change speed to 65 km/h as it passes an open free highway and zero when it
stops. During the entire trip, the vehicle travels at different speed.

Average and Instantaneous Velocity

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
Constant motion refers to an object moving with constant speed or
constant velocity. To have a constant velocity, both speed and direction
must be the same.
Example: A car running at a speed of 50 km/h all throughout its travel
in a straight line.

In this lesson, you will learn to describe the motion of an object in

which velocity changes in magnitude, direction, or both.

Write your answers in your Science activity notebook.

Activity 2: Read Me!

Directions: The figure below shows the car’s speedometer reading with
respect to time. Get the speedometer’s reading of the car’s speed from 00:00
to 00:04 s. Write your answers in your Science activity notebook.

15
 What Is It

Vehicles rarely move at constant speed but oftentimes they changed

speed. Consider the figure below.

The 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.
The changing motion of an object is called acceleration. Acceleration
is defined as the rate of change in velocity. The formula is,
change∈velocity
acceleration=
change∈time
⃑ ⃑ ⃑
⃑ ∆ v v f − vi
a= =
∆ t t f −t i

⃑ ⃑
⃑ v f − vi
a=
t f −t i
Change in velocity is the difference between the final velocity (v f) and
the initial velocity (vi). Change in time is the difference between the final time
(tf) and the initial time (ti).
Average acceleration refers to the total change in velocity divided by
the total time taken for the change. Since the unit of velocity is meter per

16
second (m/s), acceleration is expressed in meter per second per second
(m/s/s). Oftentimes, the unit of acceleration is written as m/s 2.

Based on Figure 10, the car’s average acceleration is

Motion with constant acceleration is not common in everyday life. Like

a passenger vehicle that moves along a highway, it can move at a constant
velocity, changing velocity, or stop as it loads and unloads passengers.
When a moving body decreases its velocity, it is said to decelerate.
This negative acceleration is called deceleration. Deceleration is the opposite
of acceleration where the velocity of an object decreases.

Example:
A passenger vehicle with a speed of 20 m/s slowed down to 10 m/s in
10 seconds. What is its acceleration?
