Lesson 1

Describing Motion
Focus Question

Which factors describe the motion of an


object?
New Vocabulary

motion
displacement
speed
Motion and Position

• Motion is a change in an object’s position


relative to a reference point.
• You don’t always need to see something move to
know that motion has taken place.
• A reference point is needed to determine the
position of an object. How you describe an
object’s motion depends on the reference point
chosen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elAzkXyRQFU
Motion and Position
• After a reference point is
chosen, a frame of reference
can be created. A frame of
reference is a coordinate
system in which the position
of the object is measured.
• The figure shows a
coordinate system. The
reference point is at the
origin, and each object’s
position can be described
with its coordinates.
A coordinate system is like a map. The reference point is at the
origin, and each object’s position can be described with its
coordinates.

Change in Position
• An object’s displacement is the distance and
direction of an object’s change in position.
• An object’s displacement is not the same as the
total distance the object traveled. The
displacement of the runner in the image is
different from the total distance run.
Motion
It is the change of position of an
object with respect to time.
Displacement or distance
Tawaf is one of the main Islamic rituals performed in both Umrah &
Hajj.
Ali went around the Kaabah seven times, in a counter clockwise
direction to perform Tawaf. (which is about 80 m to 800m
/round)

Starting from the zero point or the start point, 100 m


were traveled.
Then he had to get back to the start point again to
make the second round……so on.
Displacement or distance

What should Ali measure?


Displacement or Distance? Explain
why
Distance

Distance is the entire length of an object’s path,

even if the object moves in many directions.


Speed
How fast you are 
Speed

• Speed is the distance an object


travels per unit of time.
• The SI unit for speed is meters per second
(m/s).

Speed Equation
speed (in meters/second) =

Time= T= 4 hr Speed = S = 300 m/hr

Unknown: Distance = d =??

300 = d

d = 300 x 4 = 1200m
Graphing Motion

• Motion over time can be shown on a distance-time


graph. This graph shows the distance traveled by three
swimmers during a
30-minute workout. Time is plotted along the horizontal
axis, and the distance traveled is plotted along the
vertical axis.
Graphing Motion
• An object’s speed is equal
to the slope of the line on
a distance-time graph.
• If an object moves with a
constant speed, the
increase in distance over
equal time intervals is
the same and the line is
straight.
• The fastest object has the
steepest line on the
graph.
How to calculate the speed from the Graph
