Describing Motion
Name: ___________________________________________ Section: ____________________
Learning Objective
Describe the motion of an object in terms of distance or displacement, speed or velocity,

and acceleration. (S7FE-IIIa1)
Sub-Tasks:
1. Determine whether the given condition is showing the distance travelled or the
displacement;
2. Use the concept of distance and displacement in explaining the motion of an object;
3. Characterize speed and velocity;
4. Identify if the given situation is asking for speed or velocity;
5. Determine whether an object in motion is experiencing acceleration; and
6. Consider the concept of acceleration in describing motion;
7. Solve the speed/velocity and acceleration of an object.
Time Allotment: 4 hours
Key Concepts
 Motion is defined as a change in position for a time interval.
“How Far”
 Distance (d) travelled refers to the length of the entire path that the object travelled.
 Displacement (D) refers to the shortest distance between the objects initial position and
final position, no matter what path it took to get to that destination.
“How Fast”
 Speed (s) is defined as the distance covered divided by the time of travel. Average speed
can be defined as the total distance covered divided by the total time of travel.
Instantaneous speed is the speed at any instant. The SI unit for speed is m/s.
d
Distance travelled s=
or
Speed = t
Time interval
 Velocity (v) is defined as speed with the direction of motion. Constant velocity means
both constant speed and direction of travel. The SI unit for velocity is m/s in the
direction of motion.
Displacement D
Velocity = or v=
Time interval t

“How quick”
 Acceleration (a) is the rate at which velocity changes with time. The changes in velocity
may be in its magnitude or directions or both.
 If an object covers varying displacement at equal intervals of time, then it is moving with
changing velocity. It means that the object is accelerating.
 Instances of an object experiencing acceleration:
Constant direction but the magnitude of the velocity changes;

vi = 1.0m/s vf = 2.0m/s vi = 2.0m/s vf =0m/s
or
The same magnitude of the velocity but the direction changes;

vi = 1.0m/s
vf = 1.0m/s
Both the direction and the magnitude of the velocity changes;

vi =1.0m/s
vf =0m/s
 If an object does not change its position at any given time interval (zero displacement),
then it is at rest or its velocity is zero and the object is not accelerating.
v = 0m/s
 If an object covers equal displacement at equal intervals of time, then it is moving at

constant velocity and still not accelerating.
vi = 1.0m/s vf = 1.0m/s
 The SI unit for acceleration is m/s2 in the direction of motion.
∆v
Change in velocity
or a=
Acceleration =
∆t
Time interval

Reflection
Remember 2020? How did you cope up with the quarantine? Will you share with us your
experience? Did you move around the sofa just like the dog or move around the house randomly
and ends up back were you started? If so, what was the distance covered? What was your
displacement? Did you experience having certain speed as you move around but zero velocity?
Did you experience any acceleration? Overall, how will you describe your state of motion, and
what are the challenges in describing it? Use the scoring rubric below as your guide. Good Luck!
