    Is A Change in Position of An Object With Respect To Time

    Physics deals with the interaction between matter and energy and natural phenomena like motion, gravity, and light. Motion is a change in an object's position over time and can be described using diagrams or graphs. For example, a diagram can show how a dog's position changes relative to a tree as it exhibits motion. A position-time graph also describes motion by plotting an object's changing position over time, like a graph showing a ball's increasing position in meters over 0.15 seconds. Motion can also be described using graphs of displacement versus time, where displacement refers to the shortest distance between two positions regardless of the actual path taken.

    Handout in Science VII

    Prepared by: Matthew T. Sabasales

    Physics – is a branch of science that deals with the interaction between matter and energy. It also deals with
    the understanding of various natural phenomena as well as on forces and equilibrium.

    Basic Natural Phenomena which is the focus of physics:


    Electricity, Heat, Motion, Gravity, Light, Sound, Forces, Equilibrium and many more….

    Motion – is a change in position of an object with respect to time. Describing exact position entails two ideas:
    describing how far the object is from the point of reference and describing its direction relative to that point of
    reference.

    Point of Reference – also known as the frame of reference which refers to a point in space which serve as basis
    of an objects position or location.

    Describing Motion through Visuals:


    The position of an object can be described in many ways. You can use words, like beside,
    above, below, left, right, in front of, or behind when describing the direction of an object from the
    reference point. You can also use visuals, like diagrams or graphs. Use the examples to explore how
    these help in providing accurate descriptions of positions of objects.

    a. Using Diagrams:

    As you can see changes in the dogs position can be observed using the diagram above. From its point
    of reference which is its distance from the tree any changes of it will show that the dog exhibit motion.

    b. Using Graphs.

    Position Time Graph of the ball


    Time (s) Position of the Ball
    0 0
    0.05 seconds 5 meters
    0.10 seconds 10 meters
    0.15 seconds 15 meters

    Graphical representation of the motion of the ball:

    0.15 m .
    Position (Meters) 0.10 m .
    0.05 m .
    5s 10s 15s
    Time (Seconds)
    Describe the motion of a car using the given graph:

    Time (s) Displacement (m)

    How far?

    Distance – refers to the length of the entire path that the object travelled
    Displacement – refers to the shortest distance between the object’s two positions, like the distance between its
    point of origin and its point of destination, no matter what path it took to get to that destination

    Note: In the figure above, the broken line represents distance while the continuous line represents
    displacement
