3 Prep-First Term - Science

1. Motion is defined as the change in an object's position over time relative to another object. There are three types of motion: straight line, curving, and a combination. 2. Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. It is measured in meters/second (m/s) or kilometers/hour (km/h). A speedometer directly measures the speed of a car in km/h. 3. Uniform speed means equal distances are covered in equal times, while average speed is calculated as the total distance divided by the total time taken when the speed is not constant.

3 Prep – First Term-Unit One-Lesson （1）
Motion：
The change of an object position as time passes
according to the position of another object。
The Types of Motion：
1-Straight Line Motion 2- Curving Motion
3- A combination of both
The Simplest Type of Motion：
Straight Line Motion
Description of Motion：Fast & Slow
Factors needed to describe Motion (Movement):
1-Length 2- Time
*We use Length and Time to describe a physical
Quantity called Speed.
Speed:
The distance moved through a unite time.
Speed=change in distance/ change in time
Units for measuring speed：
Meter/second (m/s)
Kilometer/hour (km/s) for cars & Trains & Planes
Function of speedometer:
It is used to identify the speed of the car directly.
What is meant by?
Q1: The speedometer pointer points to 72?
A1 : This means that the car speed =73 km/h=
20m/s
What is meant by?
Q2: The car moves at regular (uniform) speed?
A2: This means that:
1- The reading of the car speedometer stays
constant during the travel
2- The car covers equal distances in equal periods
of time.
What happens in the following case?
Q3: The movement of a car is at a regular (uniform)
speed?
A3: The car covers equal distances in equal periods
of time
Q4: Write the law that is used for calculating the
speed of a moving object if both distance and time
are short?
A4:V=d/t for regular (uniform) speed only
Q5: what is meant by:
A car is moving by an irregular (Average) speed?
A5: this means that the car is moving on a road, so
its speed changes according to traffic i.e. the car
speed do not stay constant
Q6: Complete the following:
If the speed of the car does not stay constant, so
the car is described as moving at ---------------speed
or -------------speed.
Q7: Write the law that is used for describing the
Irregular (Average) speed?
A7: Average speed=
Total distance covered / total time taken
What is meant by: -----------?
Q8: The speed of a car is uniform?
A8: This means that the car covers equal distances
in equal periods of time.
Q9: The speed of a car is non-uniform?
A9: This means that the car:
 May cover equal distances at unequal periods
of time
 May cover unequal distances at equal periods
of time
Q10: Problem:
A runner covered a distance of 100 m of a
straight track in 10 sec. Then, he returned back
walking. He took 80 sec to come back to the
starting point of running .Calculate the racer
average speed.
A10:
Average speed= Total distance/ Total Time
Average speed= 100+100/10+80
Average speed= 200/90 =2.2 m/s
Relative Speed:
 Measuring speeds depends on the position of
the observer (standing on the ground & in the
slow car & in the fast car) who determines the
magnitude of speeds.
Q11: Problem
If there is a person in a car that moves at 80km
in a certain direction .Then, a car moves at 90
km passed him in the same direction.
1- What is speed of the slow car relative to the
observer standing on the ground?------ km/h
2- What is speed of the fast car relative to the
observer standing on the ground? ------ km/h
3- What is speed of the fast car relative to the
passenger in the slow car? ------------- km/h
Important Questions in School Book
1- Complete:-
The result of multiplying a speed of a moving object
by time= -------------------------------
2- Write the scientific term:
(a) A moving object covers equal distances
at equal periods of time.(--------------------)
(b) The total distance that a moving object
covers divided by the total time taken to
cover this distance. (------------------------)
(c) The value of a car speed relative to the
observer. (-------------------------------)
3- What is meant by:
(a) The average speed of a moving car is 70
km/h.---------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
(b) A car moving at a uniform speed=80km
----------------------------------------------------------
