MOTION + a change in position of an object relative to an object at rest Types of Motion 1. Translational vs. Curvilinear + Translational motion ~ motion along a straight line + Curvilinear motion ~ motion along a curve 2. Uniform vs. Non-uniform * Uniform moton ~ motion at a constant speed in a straight line + Non-uniform motion ~ motion that involves change in speed and/or direction Elements of Motion 1. Distance and Displacement Distance - total length of a path taken by a moving object Displacement - a change in position of an object in a given direction Example ‘Acar moves 12 km south and then 16 km east.

Speed and Velocity ve * Speed: a rate of motion Average Speed - total distance traveled for a given period of time is Instantaneous Speed - speed at an instant or at a given point in a path 7 Example | Mr. Santos took his family to Albay last summer vacation. Traveling a total distance of 60 kilometers from Manila, he reached the hotel in 8 hours. What was his average speed? Answer =~ 560 km 1 8h V.E.A. Learning, Inc.

He would slow down when there is a nice view of Mayon Voicano or stop to get gas along th ay. His sf 2 long the way. His speed at maybe 12:00 as he looks at hs speedometer would be his instantaneous speed. i Velocity: rate of motion of an object with reference to a direction The average velocity of Mr. Santos in the cbove example would be 70 km/hr going southwest. 3.

Free Fall If we let go of a golf ball and a ping pong ball from a high place above the ground, they would both fall toward the ground because of the pull of gravity. Regardless of mass and size, the acceleration of the body is due to gravity, a .8m/s* moving downwards. What happens during the fall? Would they reach the ground at the same time? When objects fall toward the earth, neglecting air resistance, they are said to be in free fall. According to Galileo, light and heavy objects will hit the ground nearly at the same time because during the free fall the balls are uniformly accelerated by the force of gravity Example Aball dropped from a window strkes the ground 2 seconds later. How high is the window? Answer: Solve for vi v= vi+ at = 0+ (9.8 m/st}(2s) = 19.6 m/s Note! g = 9.8 m/s? Solve ford: vi? =v? +2ad vi =v 19.6 m/ sy 0 2a (29.8 m/s*) =19.6m 3. Projectile Motion * motion of a body which is given an initial velocity and follows a path determined by the action of gravity and by air resistance + motion is along a parabolic path has two components, the horizontal and the vertical component horizontal component: constant velocity vertical component: constant acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s?
