III. LESSON
A. Motivation:
Forces in nature produce many different types of motion. Sir Isaac Newton was the first person to describe the
physical laws that explain how objects around us move. Over the centuries, engineers have used their
understanding of motion and forces to build many tools and machines that are useful to us, some of which are
just used for plain fun.
B. Lesson Proper:
DESCRIBING MOTION
Motion can be classified into a linear or straight-line motion and non-linear or curvilinear motion.
Curvilinear motion can be parabolic (projectile), wave, circular, or elliptical.
In everyday life, motion is so common. It seems to appear very simple. However, understanding motion
requires some novel and advanced thinking. Aside from years of training, many athletes succeed because
they understand motion. Learning about the science of motion may not earn you an Olympic medal, but it
can be a leap into adventure and discovery.
o Imagine this scenario: a conductor makes a
signal, and a bus moves away from the station.
As the bus speeds up, the people outside the bus
use a stopwatch to time you inside the bus. But to
the person sitting next to you on the bus, you are
not moving at all. How can that be? The answer
to the question depends on the object with which
the observer is comparing you.
Whenever you describe something that is moving, you are comparing it with something that is assumed to
be stationary or not moving. The background or object that is used for comparison is called a POINT or
FRAME OF REFERENCE. An object changes position if it moves relative to a reference point. All
movement, then, is described relative to a particular frame of reference. For the people on the bus stop, the
frame of reference is the earth. For the person sitting next to you, the frame of reference is the bus. The
frame of reference you use depends on the type of movement and the position from which you are
observing.
The fact that movement is related to the frame of reference is often used in movies to achieve certain effects.
Sometimes, an actor stays in one place and only the background moves. On the screen, it looks as if the
actor is moving. This is because your frame of reference is the background. You have assumed that the
background is the stationary object.
No frame of reference is any more correct than another. If you are riding on a bus, you may describe
movement as if the bus is your frame of reference. However, the bus is moving relative to Earth. So, if you
1|Page
use the trees and the ground as your background, Earth could become your frame of reference. But Earth
moves around the sun; thus, the sun could be your frame of reference. Even the sun is moving as part of the
galaxy. This means that everything in the universe is moving. There is no frame of reference that is truly not
moving relative to all other frames of reference. What is not moving in one frame of reference is moving in
another. But all movement is described according to some frame of reference. The most common frame of
reference is Earth, but no single frame of reference is "correct" in any situation.
It is important to know how far a place is to have an idea on how we can get there. There are many
occasions when there is a need to measure lengths and distances.
o The tailor needs to measure the length of a cloth, or a carpenter needs to measure the height and the
width of a cupboard to determine how much wood he would need to make its door.
o If you are asked how tall you are, you will measure the length of a straight line from the top of your
head to the heel of your feet.
o Questions on how far Baguio City is from Manila; and how far away the moon from Earth is have one
thing in common—they all concern the distance between two places.

I. TOPIC: Measuring Time and Speed
II. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the students are able to:
a. describe the relationship of time to speed;
b. use appropriate measuring tools and express measurements using correct standard units;
c. measure speed, time, and distance of a moving object; and
d. answer activities in the module with minimal supervision.
III. LESSON
A. Motivation: We use time to compare and measure the speed at which things move. Time is measured in a
variety of ways, usually with a watch or a clock. Time can be calculated in seconds, minutes, hours, days,
weeks, etc. An hour for example can be converted to minutes by multiplying it by 60 and a minute can be
converted into seconds by multiplying it also by 60. We usually use a stopwatch to precisely measure time in
minutes, seconds, and fractions of seconds.
B. Lesson Proper:
MEASURING SPEED WITH TIME AND DISTANCE
If you know the distance the runners travelled and the time it took them to travel that distance, you can
determine how fast each runner moved. In other words, you can calculate the speed of each runner. You
probably use the words fast or slow to describe motion, but you are describing speed. To be more specific, the
speed of an object is the distance the object travels in one unit of time. Our everyday experience shows that
some objects move faster than others. Speed describes how fast an object moves.
VELOCITY
Sometimes, describing the speed of an object is not enough; you may also need to know the direction in
which the object is moving. In 1997, a 200-kg lion escaped from a zoo in Florida. The lion was located by
searchers in a helicopter. The helicopter crew was able to guide searchers on the ground by reporting the
lion's velocity, or its speed and direction of motion. The escaped lion's velocity may have been reported at
4.5 m/s to the north or 2.0 km/h toward a highway.
Without knowing the direction of the lion's motion, it would have been impossible to predict the lion's
position. This example shows the importance of knowing the direction of motion, as well as its speed.
Velocity is also important in knowing the speed and direction of a typhoon. By specifying both the speed
and direction of motion, you get an object's velocity.
The direction of motion can be described in various ways. For instance, you can indicate the direction as
east, west, south, or north of some fixed point, or you can specify the angle from a fixed line. Also, the
direction can be described as positive or negative along the line of motion. Therefore, if a body is moving
in one direction, then it has a positive velocity, and if it is moving in the opposite direction, then it has a
negative velocity.
ACCELERATION
When you pedal hard to gain speed on your bicycle, your velocity changes. It changes again when you slow
down to stop. Your velocity also changes as you round a curve in the road because your direction of motion
changes. Any change in velocity is called acceleration. The cyclist in is accelerating as he turns the corner.
Pressing the gas pedal of the car will cause an increase in your speed, which will make the acceleration in
line with the car's motion. When you press on the brake pedal, you slow down and there is an opposite
direction of motion. When you turn the steering wheel, your velocity changes whether you speed up or slow
down as you make the turn.
It is possible that things continuously change directions even if there is no change in speed. Examples of
these are the movement of a Ferris wheel moving in a circular motion and the movement of the moon
around Earth. It continuously changes direction without changing its speed. Acceleration, therefore, is a
common part of many types of motion.

III. LESSONS
A. Motivation: Motion is always influenced by force. The relation between motion and force was first
discovered by Sir Isaac Newton. His discoveries were summarized in the Three Laws of Motion, which are also
known as Newton's Laws of Motion. In this lesson, we will be describing the different laws of motion and
identify examples of these laws at work in the world around us.
B. Lesson Proper:
LAWS OF MOTION
First Law of Motion: Law of Inertia
When you pull the book at the bottom of a pile, the rest of the books remained in the vertical stack. The only
book that really moved horizontally was the one you pulled out. You have observed the inertia of an object
at rest. The word inertia comes from the Latin word "iners," meaning "idle." Inertia is the tendency of an
object to resist any change in motion. An object at rest or an object in motion is under the influence of
inertia.
The law of inertia states that "an object at rest stays at rest until an outside force causes it to move, or
an object in motion continues to move in the same direction until a force stops it or changes its
direction."
Objects at Rest
Objects remain at rest until something makes them move. These
objects that are still or at rest possess inertia. Everything made of
matter has inertia, even you. The cart standing still in a grocery store
has inertia at rest. Inertia keeps it standing still. If you want to move
the cart, you must apply force to overcome inertia. The cart needs a
push or a pull for it to start moving down the grocery aisle. The cart
has inertia at rest.
Objects in Motion
The law of inertia also applies to moving objects. Objects in motion
will remain in motion unless a force stops them. The moving roller
coaster will remain in motion unless the operator applies a brake on the
machine that will cause it to stop.
A moving car has inertia in motion. A person inside the car is also in
motion. When the car suddenly stops, our bodies move forward. If the
person does not wear a seatbelt, he/she could be thrown forward. That
is why wearing of seatbelt in a moving car is advised.
When you pedal a bike, you accelerate to make the bike move forward.
When the rider stops from pedaling, however, because of inertia, the
bike continues to move in the same direction. The bike will slow down
when frictional force acts on it.
5|Page
Second Law of Motion: Law of Acceleration
Moving objects like the car in the picture tend to change speed. They move faster if they are in the
expressway and then slow down as they approach a tollgate or a traffic light. When a moving object like a
car speed up, it accelerates. When it slows down, it decelerates. However, acceleration is affected by the
force applied and the mass of the object.
The two automobiles wait for a signal to start the race. If
the two drivers applied the same force to accelerate, the car
that is lighter accelerates faster than the other one.
Newton observed that the force, mass, and acceleration of
an object are related.
Since the other car has greater mass than the other one, it
accelerates slower than the smaller car. He showed that the
motion of an object changes or accelerates when a force
acts on it. If you know the mass and acceleration of an
object, you can determine its force.
The law of acceleration states that "the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force
applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the object."
The law of acceleration has something to do with the force acting on an object. When there is force, an
object changes its motion. An object can change its motion in many ways. It can speed up, slow down, stop,
or it can change the direction in which it is moving.
How fast an object moves depends on two factors: net force or the force applied and the amount of matter or
the mass of an object.
"The greater the force applied, the greater the change in motion of an object. This shows that acceleration is
directly proportional to the force applied." But if the object's mass is great, the acceleration of an object is
less. 'Thus, a heavy object moves slowly. This shows that acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass
of an object. To enable greater acceleration, a greater force must be applied on the heavy object.
Since we already know the relationship of force, mass, and acceleration, we now come up with a formula:
Force is equal to mass times acceleration.
f=mxa
o Mass is expressed in grams or o Force is expressed in Newtons.
kilogram. o One Newton = 1 kg.m/s²
Suppose you are trying to push a cabinet from one side of the room to the other side. The cabinet has a mass
of 80 kg. What is the acceleration of the cabinet if the force you applied is 20 Newtons?
To solve this problem, you will use the formula: Acceleration is equal to the force applied divided by the
mass of an object.
Formula: Acceleration = or a
Given: Force = 20 N or 20 kg.m/s²
Mass 80 kg
The acceleration of the cabinet is 0.25 m/s² or the cabinet can be moved 0.25 meters in every second.
What if your friend helps you push the cabinet, and your total force increases to 40 N? What would be the
cabinet's acceleration?
When you increase the force applied to accelerate an object, the acceleration also increases. This shows that
"acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied on an object. The greater the force applied, the
greater the acceleration." But if you increase the mass of the cabinet by putting things on it without
6|Page
increasing the amount of force, the cabinet will move slowly. This shows that the "acceleration is inversely
proportional to the mass of an object. The greater the mass, the lesser the acceleration."
Launching of a rocket
The movement of the balloon is like the movement of a rocket when it is launched into space. Action and
reaction forces cause the rocket to lift off. The burning gases shooting from the exhaust vents of the rockets
cause the rocket to move upward. The force of the lift off comes from the burning gases pushing against the
shuttle rockets.
The Law of Interaction is also demonstrated in a rowing boat. To move the boat, the oar is put in
water. When it is put in water, the water exerts an equal force on both sides of the oar. However,
when the rowers pull on their oars, the surface of the flat side of the oars pushes against the water.
The water pushes back on the oars with an equal and opposite force. The boat moves in the opposite
direction of the oars with a force that is equal to that of the oars pushing against the water.
7|Page
Rowing a Motorcycle turns in a
boat curved path.
Objects moving in a circular motion likewise demonstrate the third law of motion. When a motorcycle racer
turns at a sharp-curved road, two forces are acting on it. There is an outward force pulling the motorcycle. This
force is a centrifugal force. To balance this outward force, the racer leans his/her motorcycle and his/her body
toward the center. This inward force is called the centripetal force that pulls the object towards the center.
When the centrifugal force and centripetal force are balanced, they keep the objects moving in circular motion.

B. Lesson Proper:
EFFECTS OF HEAT AND ELECTRICITY ON OBJECTS
Thermal and Electrical Conductors and Insulators
Thermal conductors are materials that can transfer heat easily while thermal insulators do not allow heat to
pass or flow through them.
o When you are cooking, the energy transfer of heat from the stove to the food must occur effectively.
However, it is important that the handle does not get uncomfortably hot.
8|Page
o Through conduction, materials will increase their temperature because the heat can easily flow in them.
Cooking pans are made of metal because energy is passed easily and quickly between the particles in most
metals.
o The way a material conducts heat depends on whether it is a solid, liquid, or gas. Gases are poor conductors
of heat because their molecules are far apart, making it harder for them to collide with each other. This is
needed in the transfer of heat.
o Solids conduct heat better than liquids and gases. However, some solids are better conductors of heat than
other solids. Metals, especially copper and silver, are very good conductors than non-metals.
Because energy costs money, we try to avoid wasting it. This waste is most often due to unwanted energy
transfer. To reduce or stop unwanted energy transfer, we use materials that are poor conductors. A material
of this type is called an insulator.
o Imagine a cook using a skillet in cooking and using a wooden spoon in getting the food from the pan.
o Examples of conductors and insulators are shown above. The skillet is made of iron, a good conductor, so
that energy is transferred effectively as heat to the food. Wood is an insulator, so the energy from the hot
skillet won't reach your hand through the wooden spoon or the wooden handle.
o People and some animals use insulators to slow down the transfer of heat in their body. Clothes and blankets
are used by people, while warm blooded animals like birds and mammals use insulators like feathers for
birds and blubber for walrus to trap the air under them.
o Buildings that are well insulated only need less energy for heating. Some buildings are using insulators such
as fiberglass in their walls or roofs. It traps the air, thus slowing the transfer of heat. Polystyrene is another
example of a good insulator because cool things can be kept cool and more so with hot things.
o Materials are not only conductors or insulators of heat. They too are conductors and insulators of electricity.
Examples of good conductors are metals such as: copper, iron, steel, and aluminum. Plastics, rubber, glass,
and wood are both thermal and electrical insulators.
o This makes us understand why copper wires must be insulated or covered with plastic tubing, so we don't
get an electrical shock. As the insulated flex goes into the plug-which is again made of plastic—the copper
wires go into the metal pins, which will conduct electricity to your appliance. Not only metals are good
conductors of electricity. Many liquids that contain ions are good conductors. The acid in a battery is one
example, including the ionized gases such as gases inside a fluorescent light or a neon light.
o Always remember that electricity can be dangerous, so never touch anything electrical with wet hands, for
even your sweat can conduct electricity.
Semiconductors
o Semiconductors belong to a third class of materials with electrical
properties between those of insulators and conductors. In their pure
state, semiconductors are insulators. The controlled addition of
specific atoms of other materials as impurities dramatically increases
a semiconductors ability to conduct an electric charge. Silicon and
germanium are two semiconductors. Complex electrical devices like
the computer board shown in the picture are made of conductors,
insulators, and semiconductors.

Other Effects of Heat
The following are other ways by which heat affects materials:

like in cooking.
If you are in contact with the ground, you can receive an electric shock by touching an uninsulated
conducting, or "live" wire. An electric shock from such a wire can result in serious burns or even death. To
avoid this electrical hazard, we should observe caution when using electrical materials.
Always remember that electricity can be dangerous, so never touch anything electrical with wet hands.
