What is Motion?
1. SPEED – is the rate at which an object is moving along a path; scalar quantity
2. VELOCITY – is the rate and direction of an object’s movement; vector quantity
SCALAR QUANTITY (a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude or numerical value alone ex: 10m/s
VECTOR QUANTITY (a quantity that is fully described by magnitude and direction
3. DISTANCE – how much ground an object has covered during it motion; scalar quantity
4. DISPLACEMENT – how far out of place an object is or the object’s overall change in position; vector quantity
5. TIME – how long it took the object from one position to another; scalar quantity
6. ACCELERATION – rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction; vector quantity
7. GRAVITY- is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center.
VARIABLES UNIT
vi = initial velocity m/s
vf = final velocity m/s
a = acceleration m/s²
Δd = displacement m
Δt = change in time s
In general, a uniformly accelerated motion is the one in which the acceleration of a body throughout the motion is uniform. It can be observed in
either vertical or horizontal dimension and in two dimensions.
The horizontal motion remains constant because there is no external force acting on it this results to constant horizontal velocity whereas the vertical
motion is increasing because of the gravity.
*When we drop a ball from a height we know that its speed increases as it falls.
The increase in speed is due to the acceleration gravity, g = -9.8 m/sec2.
MOMENTUM is a quantity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object. Momentum is a vector quantity, possessing a direction as
well as a magnitude. Mass in motion
Where:
m is the mass of the moving object in kilogram (kg)
v is the velocity of the moving object in meter per second (m/s)
p is the momentum in kilogram • meter per second (kg•m/s)
All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it has momentum - it has its mass in motion.
The amount of momentum which an object has is dependent upon two variables: in mass & velocity
For stationary/ not moving objects where velocity is zero, the momentum is also zero.
IMPULSE
When the object slows down or moves faster, the velocity also decreases or increases. The change in the velocity and mass of an object
changes its momentum. Changing in momentum is called IMPULSE
Conservation of Momentum
The total momentum of all objects interacting with one another remains constant regardless of the nature of the forces between the
objects.
Law of Conservation
In a closed and isolated system, the total momentum of the objects before and after the collision are equal.
COLLISIONS
Change in momentum is caused by collisions.
Collision is an encounter between two bodies resulting in exchange of impulse and momentum.
a. Elastic Collision- one in which the total kinetic energy of the system does not change and colliding objects bounce off after collision.
Example :( billiard, bowling)
b. Inelastic collision- one in which the total kinetic energy of the system changes (converted to some other form of energy). Objects that stick
together after collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. Example: (car collision and they stick together)
Inelastic- total kinetic energy of the system changes –converted into heat or other forms like binding energy, sound energy, light (spark)
and etc
The Potential Energy of an object is greater if the position of the object is higher. The object has the potential to cause more change.
The more mass an object has, the more potential energy it has because it has the “potential” to cause more change.
where:
PE grav = gravitational potential energy
m = mass of object
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height or elevation difference

𝑃𝐸𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑠 = kx ²

Where:
PE elas = elastic potential energy
k = spring constant
x = compression or extension length
Where:
KE=Kinetic Energy 1 2
KE= m v
m= mass 2
v=velocity of object
Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. In physics, energy is a
quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or moving or provides heat.
