Directions: Answer your answers on the blank space provided.
Imagine you are walking from your home to school. What did you observe to the displacement
as the time goes by? The more you walk, the more you get farther from your home and the
farther you go from home to school, the more also you consume time. This means while you
walk displacement goes with time. With this worksheet and following the procedures here, you
can understand that displacement goes with time.

1. Cite real-life examples of situations that displacement goes with time.

 From the activity, you related distance and time. In computing the slope, you divided
distance by time which is actually the speed of the can. You will now relate these quantities in
the derivation of formula to solve problems relating to uniformly accelerated motion.

You have learned about displacements, velocities and acceleration when you were in
Grades 7 and 8. Now you will use those basic equations to derive formulae used in Uniformly
Accelerated Motion (UAM). Using the following equations on velocity, average velocity, and
acceleration, you can derive other equations.

d Equation A
v=
t

Equation B v f +v
v ave = i

Equation v f −v
a= i

C t

Where: v= velocity
vf = final velocity
vi = initial velocity
vave = average velocity
d = displacement
t = time
a = acceleration

To find out how displacement changes with time when an object is uniformly
accelerated, rearrange equation A to arrive at d= vt . Since the velocity of the object changes
when it is uniformly accelerating, we use the average velocity to determine displacement, so
substituting v by vave in equation B, you will get:

d = vt

6
 Equation v f +v
D d= i
t
2

Rearrange the equation C to arrive at vf =vi +at and substituting the vf in equation D, you
will get

v f +v
d= ti

d=¿ ¿¿

Combining vi, you will arrive at

d=¿

Distributing t will give you

2 v i t +at 2
d= ( 2 )
Simplifying further will provide you

at 2
d=v i t ( )2
Equation E

This shows that the displacement of the body is directly proportional to the square of
time. This confirms that for equal interval of time, displacement increases quadratically.

7
 To find out how final velocity depends on the displacement, substitute v and t from
equations B and C to d=vt and you will find that
d = vt

v i t+ v i
d= ( 2 )( va )
¿

Recall from your algebra class that (a+b) (a-b) = a2 – b2

v 2f −v 2i
d=
2a

Simplifying, you will get

2ad = vf 2 - vi 2

Rearranging, you will get

Equation F
Vf 2 = vi 2 + 2ad

To apply these derived equations, study the following problems.

Sample Problem 1:
An airplane from rest accelerates on a runway at 5.50 m/s2 for 20.25 s until it finally takes
off the ground. What is the distance covered before takeoff?
Given:
a= 5.50 s
t = 20.25 s
vi = 0 m/s

8
 Find:
d =?

d= vit + ½ at2
d= (0 m/s) (20.25 s) + (5.50 m/s2) (20.25 s)2
d= 1130 m

Sample Problem 1:
A jeepney from rest accelerates uniformly over a time of 3.25 seconds and covers a
distance of 15 m. Determine the acceleration of the jeepney?
Given:
vi= 0 m/s
d= 15 m
t= 3.25 s
Find:
a= ?
d= vi t + ½ at2
15 m = (0 m/s) (3.25 s.) + a(3.25 s)2
15 m = (5.28s2) a
a= (15 m) (5.28 s2)
a= 2.8 m/s2

What is the direction of the motion as you fall down from the airplane? Is it horizontal or
vertical? What do you think will happen to the man falling from the airplane without a
parachute? In this lesson, you will learn more on vertical dimension of a motion which either
goes downward or upward. You will also learn that because of the gravitational force, velocity of
object that goes downward depends on weight- that means the heavier you are the faster you
land on the ground. Applying this to a skydiver, the heavier you are, the larger parachute you
need since parachute will make your landing slower because of air friction.

SKY DIVERS GUIDELINES FOR SAFETY

DRAG DRAG

WEIGHT
WEIGHT

1. After jumping from the chopper or plane, forces of gravity will pull you down to the ground.
With acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s 2 the impact you have to the ground might bring
damage to your bones and muscles, it is advised to use parachute for landing.
2. Free-fall to the ground depends on the mass and gravitational force (gravitational force has
an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2). More mass or weight means, more force or impact will be made to
the ground. So, persons with larger weight will have more impact compared to persons who
have lesser weight.
3. Persons with heavier weight requires larger parachute. Parachute acts as a drag object which
slows down the force of person from falling to the ground by increasing air resistance.
Therefore, the size of the parachute used will depend on the weight of a person.

Questions:
1. Based on the guidelines for skydivers, why is parachute needed for skydivers?

seconds, what is the final velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground and how high is the
building?
