Guide Questions

Activity 8.

1. In what ways can object accelerate?

Answer : An object can accelerate if the speed of the object changes while
maintaining its direction. If the speed of the object remains the same while its
direction changes and if both speed and direction of the object change.

2. How can you accelerate an object without changing speed?

Answer: An object can accelerate without changing its speed, by changing its
direction.

3. In what units is acceleration expressed?

Acceleration can be expressed by its SI unit, m/s2 ( dividing distance by the square
of the time)

Activity 9. Use the acceleration equation to solve the following problems.

1. A car starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 10m/s in 5 seconds.

a. What is its acceleration?
Formula: a = Vf- Vi
T
Given: a = ?
Vf = 10m/s
Vi = 0
t = 5s

a = 10m/s-0
5s
a = 10m/s
5s
a = 2m/s2

b. If its acceleration remains the same, what will be its velocity after 10
seconds?

Formula: speed = distance

Time
Vs = d/t
Given: Vs = ?
d = 10m/s
t = 10s

Vs = 10m/s
10s

Vs = 1m/s2
 2. Find the acceleration of a bicycle slowing from 3m/s to a stop in 6 seconds.

Formula: a = Vf-Vi
T
Given: a = ?
Vf = 0
Vi = 3m/s
t = 6s

a = 0-3m/s
6s
a = -3m/s
6s
a = -0.5m/s2

Activity 11. Answer the following questions.
1. How does distance differ from displacement?

Distance is the total length along a path between two points while displacement
gives both the length and the direction of an object path from its starting point
straight to its ending point.

2. Explain the difference between speed, velocity, and acceleration.

Speed is the rate at which an objects position changes: velocity describes both
how fast and in what direction an object moves, while acceleration tells how fast
a moving object’s velocity is changing.

3. You walk around the block and end up where you started. If the block measures
150 meters on each sides,
a. What is your displacement?

My displacement is ZERO because I ended up where I started.

c. How far did you walk?

I walked a total length of 600m.

4. A car moving on a straight road increases its speed at a uniform rate from 40
km/h, East to 60 km/h, East in 10.5 seconds. What is the car’s acceleration?

Formula: a = Vf-Vi
