Introduction
Many of the things around us move slowly like the turtles and clouds, others
move much faster like the satellites. Because motion is so common, it seems to
be very simple. But in Science, describing motion requires careful use of some
definitions.
In this module you will study the quantitative description of motion called
kinematics. You will learn new concepts used by scientists to describe motion.
These are basic knowledge that will be used in studying other concepts of motion.
You will also learn to interpret motion of objects using illustrations.

 At the end of this module, you are expected to answer the following key
questions:
When can we say that an object is in motion?
How do we describe the motion of an object?

 What is It

What is motion? Motion is a continuous change in position. A change in position

is an evidence of motion. The book on the left side of a stationary table underwent
motion because it has changed its position to the right side of the table. The table
serves as the point of reference. Consider the table and the clock in Activity 3.2.
Which one has moved? Either the clock was moved to the right of the table or the table
was moved to the left of the clock. When you are riding on the car, you are at rest with
respect to the car but, together with the car, you are moving with respect to the ground.
An object is said to be in the state of rest if it does not change its position with
respect to its surroundings and to time. An object is said to be in the state of motion
if it changes its position with respect to its surroundings and to time.
How far the boy travel? There are two ways to answer the question. First is by
getting the distance and the other one is by getting the displacement of the boy. The
total length of the actual path travelled by the object, regardless of the direction of the
movement is called distance. Distance is a scalar quantity. While displacement is
the shortest path between the initial and final position of an object. It is an imaginary
straight line from the initial position to the final position, and it is a vector quantity,
because it takes into consideration the directions travelled.
Sample Problem 1: Robert’s Way to School On his way to school, Robert traveled
a path as shown in the map below:

d 2 = 4 km
S

d = 5 km
d1 = 3 km

a. Determine the total distance traveled by Robert.

b. Calculate Robert’s displacement.

12
Solution:
a. total distance = d1 + d2 (route1)
= 3 km + 4 km
= 7 km
b. displacement = 3km North + 4 km East
= 5 km North of East
Recall your mathematical concept: c2 = a2 + b2
c = √a2 + b 2
𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 = 𝐻𝑆 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = √𝑑12 + 𝑑22
𝐻𝑆

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = √𝑑12 + 𝑑22

𝐻𝑆
= √(3km)2 + (4km)2
= √9km2 + 16km2
= √25km2
= 5 km, North of East

Distance vs Displacement
Distance Displacement

represented by a symbol d to the final position represented by a
symbol d or an arrow above d (arrow

It is a scalar quantity It is a vector quantity
It is always positive, cannot be negative It can be positive, negative or zero
and zero depending on the initial and final
position of the object
It can never be less than the It can either be equal to or less than the
displacement distance

followed by the body the route followed by the body

Speed and Velocity

We will now analyze the motion of given objects to answer how fast is it traveling?
Where is it going? Is it slowing down or speeding up? Is it changing direction?
For simplicity, we will treat each moving object as if it is a point particle moving in
space.

In ordinary conversations, speed and velocity are often used interchangeably.

Consider the given situation. A car from the garage is moving along a straight highway
and stops after 1 hour for refueling at a gas station 80 km away.
How will you describe the motion of the car?

13
 𝑘𝑚
The speed of the car is 80 ℎ𝑟 . The speed indicates only the distance and time.
It is defined as how fast an object is moving. It can be thought as the rate at which an
object covers distance. It is operationally defined as distance divided by time.

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

No direction is given. It is a scalar quantity. The SI unit of speed is meter per

seconds (m/s), other units are kilometers per hour (km/h) miles per hour (mi/h). Most
vehicles have a device called a speedometer, which measures instantaneous speed.
Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a particular moment (instant) in
time. Speedometers are important to the drivers because they need to know how fast
they are going so they know they are already driving beyond the speed limit or not.
The minimum speed limit in the Philippines is 60 km/h and the maximum speed limit
is 100 km/h.
𝑘𝑚
The rate of motion of the car is 80 ℎ𝑟 , Northward. This represents the velocity
of the car. The displacement of the car is 80 km, northward from the starting point and
1 hour is the elapsed time. Velocity is the rate at which the object changes its
position. Thus, velocity is speed in a given direction. Velocity is a vector quantity. It
is specified by magnitude and direction.

displacement⁄
velocity = time ; in symbols ⃗𝑣⃗ = ⃗𝑑⃗ ∕ 𝑡

The SI unit of velocity is meter per second (m/s), kilometer per hour (km/h or km/h),
mile/second (mi/s or mi/s).

Sample Problem 2
Lydia de Vega-Mercado (Philippines) was considered Asia’s fastest woman in
the 1980s. She holds both Philippines and Southeast Asia records with her
performance best of 11.28 seconds in a 100-meter track. How fast can she run?
Given Unknown Formula Solution Answer
d = 100 m v = 𝑑⁄𝑡 v = 100𝑚⁄11.28𝑠
speed, v v = 8.87m/s
t = 11.28 s

Sample Problem 3
A motorcycle travels 100 km in 2 hours along SRP to southward direction. What
is the velocity of the motorcycle?
Given Unknown Formula Solution Answer
𝑑⃗ = 100 km, 𝑣⃗ = 100 𝑘𝑚⁄2 ℎ 𝑘𝑚

velocity, 𝑣⃗ = 𝑑⃗ ∕ 𝑡 𝑘𝑚

t = 2 hour

How fast is the Velocity Changing: Acceleration

Uniform or constant velocity does not always occur in real situation. How can we
say that an object is accelerating? An object is accelerating if it shows the following:
1. The speed of the object is changing. The car in activity 3.1.5a, starting from rest
changes its speed to 25 km/h after 6 seconds.
2. The direction of the object changes. The cat walks 3 m, east, then 3 m, North. 3.
The speed and direction of the object is changing. The cyclist changes its velocity
from 20 km/h, east to 30 km/h, south.

In Activity 3.1.5a, b, c moving objects change their speeds, directions, or both.

When objects change their speed or velocity they are said to be accelerating.
Acceleration refers to the rate of change in speed or velocity of an object. It will
give us an idea how quickly an object is changing speed or velocity. An increase in
speed or velocity is positive acceleration, on the other hand, if speed or velocity
decreases, it is negative acceleration, the object is slowing down. Acceleration is
defined operationally as change in velocity divided by elapsed time.

The SI unit of acceleration is meter per second per second (m/s/s or m/s2. Other
units are kilometer per hour per hour (km/h/h or km/hr2), mile per second per second
(mi/s/s or mi/s2)
When a mango falls from its branch, it is accelerating due to gravity. When the car
slows down when the brakes are applied, it is decelerating. The car turning at the
corner is an example of acceleration because the direction is changing. The quicker
the turns, the greater the acceleration.
