LESSON/CONTENT
Activity 1: TWO TRUTHS and ONE LIE
Direction: Identify which two statements are true and which one is false. Circle the
letter of the correct statements.
MOTION SPEED
A. It is the change in position of an A. It is distance travelled divided
object. by time.
B. Jim is watching TV. B. It is measured in m/s2.
C. The dog plays fetch in the C. It tells how fast the object
backyard. moves.

DISTANCE
A. It is measured in meters.
B. Jairus walks 30 meters, South
from his house to school.
C. It is the total length of the path
travelled by the object.
VELOCITY
A. It tells the speed and direction of
a moving object.
B. A bus travels on the road 20 m/s.
C. A truck moves 30 m/s, East along
the highway.

DISPLACEMENT
A. It is the shortest distance
between the object’s two positions.
B. Emma walks 20 meters from her
house to school. She turns around
and walks back. Her displacement
is 0.
C. It is measured by seconds
ACCELERATION
A. It is a change in speed or velocity;
direction changes.
B. A car approaching a red light and
slows down is not accelerating.
C. As you walk, you make a right
turn, you are accelerating.

Were you able to identify two truths and one lie from the options above? Good job!
You are now ready to describe the motion of objects along a straight path. You have
learned to describe the motion of objects in terms of position, and distance traveled,
speed, velocity, and acceleration.
It is time to create and analyze the visual representation of motion.
How do you describe motion? Describing the motion of an object is occasionally hard
to do with words. Sometimes charts and graphs help make motion easier to picture, and
therefore better to understand.
One way of describing the motion of the object is through analyzing a motion graph
and tape charts. The next activity will help you analyze motion.

Activity 2: WHERE'S MY CAR?

Objective: To describe the motion of an object using position vs time graph
Procedure: 1. Complete Table 1 using the data in the given figure. Note that the
positions of the car are shown for every 5-second interval.
2. Plot the values in Table 1 as points on the graph in Figure 2. Note that time is plotted
on the X-axis while the position is plotted on the Y-axis.
3. Connect the points on the graph in Figure 2.

Key Questions:
1. What is the position of the car at 7.5 seconds? _________
2. At what time is the position of the car equal to 12.5 meters? _______

In Activity 2, the graph that you have just drawn is called the position vs time graph.
It is also called distance vs time graph. It describes the speed because the slope of the
line of position versus time graph is the speed of a moving object.

FIRM UP:
Activity 3: DETECTIVE ON THE RUN
Objective: To analyze motion using strips of paper with dots and tape charts. Consider
the situation below.
Here is an activity that you can do to help you with your investigation.
Materials:
strips with dots which represent the "oil drops" left by the car down the road, as
shown in the figure.

Procedure:
1. Label each dot in the figure from 0,1,2,3, and so on. In the figure, each dot occurs
every 1 second.
2. Photocopy the strips (or prepare similar strips) in Figure 4, then cut the strips at each
drop, starting from the first to the last drop. Paste the cut strips side by side on Figure
3 in order to form a tape chart similar to what is shown in Figure 2, a sample tape chart.
 Activity Questions
Direction: Refer to the prepared tape chart to answer the following questions. Circle the
letter of the best answer.
1. How will you compare the distances between successive dots?
a. The distance between two successive dots increases.
b. The distance between two successive dots decreases.
c. There is no change in the distance between two successive dots.
2. How do the lengths of the tapes compare in the chart?
a. The length of the strips is the same.
b. The length of the strips of tape in the chart increases.
c. The length of the strips of tape in the chart decreases.
3. If each tape represents the distance traveled by the object for 1 second, then what
'quantity' does each piece of tape provide?
a. Each strip of tape provides the speed of the object every 1 second.
b. Each strip of tape provides the acceleration of the object every 1 second.
c. Each strip of tape provides the displacement of the object every 1 second.
4. What does the chart tell you about the speed of the car?
a. The length of the tape decreases. It means that the speed (or velocity) of the object
increases.
b. The length of the tape decreases. It means that the speed (or velocity) of the object
decreases.
c. The length of the tape increases. It means that the speed (or velocity) of the object
increases.
5. How will you relate speed to the lengths of two successive tapes per time?
a. The speed does not change in each time interval.
b. The speed increases by the same amount in each time interval.
c. The speed decreases by the same amount in each time interval.
In Activity 3, you used a tape chart to visualize and analyze the motion of an object. A
tape chart shows strips of dots arranged vertically to represent the motion of the object
as it changes its position over time. An analysis of the strip with dots that represented
the oil drops of the car tells that there is an increase in the distance 6 or length between
two successive dots. This implies that the speed or velocity of the car increases
uniformly, which simply suggests that the car is changing its speed or velocity, and thus,
the car is accelerating. The trail of dots provides a history (or account) of the motion of
the object.
Here are other examples of a ticker tape:

DISTANCE-TIME GRAPHS.
Plotting distance against time can tell you a lot about motion. Let's look at the axes:

Let's look at two moving objects:

Both of the lines in the graph show that each object moved the same distance, but the
steeper dashed line got there before the other one:
In a nutshell: A distance-time graph tells us how far an object has moved with time.
• The steeper the graph, the faster the motion.
• A horizontal line means the object is not changing its position - it is not moving; it is
at rest.
• A downward sloping line means that the object is returning to the start.

SPEED-TIME GRAPHS are also called Velocity-Time graphs

What about comparing two moving objects at the same time?

In a nutshell: A speed - time graph shows us how the speed of a moving object changes
with time.
• The steeper the graph, the greater the acceleration.
• A horizontal line means the object is moving at a constant speed.
• A downward sloping line means that the object is slowing down
