III. CONTENT NOTES
Many things around us move, some move slowly like the turtles and clouds, others move quickly
like the satellites. In science, entails careful use of terms and quantitative observation.
Before you will be able to describe the motion of an object, you must first be able to tell exactly
where it is positioned. Describing exact position entails two ideas: describing how far the object if
from the point of reference and describing its direction relative to that point of reference.
DESCRIBING MOTION THROUGH VISUALS
•DIAGRAMS
The position of the objects is described in the diagram by their coordinates along the number
line. An object is moving in a straight line: either forwards or backwards, up or down, left or right.
Example:

Figure 1. Motion of the

car. Source:

om/article/Motion-in-
One,-Two-and-Three-
Dimensions_34452/

•GRAPHS
Position-time graph. You can also use this graph to describe the position of the ball at any given
time. An object is moving in a straight line: either forwards or backwards, up or down, left or right.

Figure 2. This graph shows that Sue's

displacement during her bike ride is
increasing along a straight line. Source:

Describing Motion

In science, motion is defined as the change in position for a particular time interval. You can
then start describing motion with the question, “How far did the object travel?” There are actually
two ways to answer this question. First is by getting the total length of the path travelled by the
object. In figure 3 for example, the dog ran 10 m to the east, then 5 m to the South, and another 10
m to the west. So, it has travelled a total 25 meters. The other way is by measuring the distance
between the initial position and final position of the object. Based again on the Figure, the dog has
travelled 5 meters to the south.

Distance
- How far an object travels/moved along a path
- Refers to the length of the entire path that the object travelled
- Meter (m)
- Represented by broken lines

Example:
It takes 4 laps around a 400 m track to make approximately a 1-mile race. What is the total
distance in meters?

Displacement
- Refers to “how far” an object is from its starting point.
- The distance and direction of an object relative to the starting point
- Represented by continuous line
- Combining displacements, same direction: ADD; opposite direction: SUBTRACT

Example:
A person walks 20 m North, turns walks 10 m West, and then 20 m South, so the total
distance he ran is 50 m.
Here are more illustrations showing the difference between distance travelled (represented
by broken lines) by an object and its displacement (represented by continuous lines).

Figure 4. Source:

ode/g7-science-student-modules-
3rd-4th-qrtr

When a graph is plotted in terms of the distance travelled by the object and the time it took
to cover such distance, the graph can be called distance-time graph. If the graph is plotted in terms
of displacement and time it is called displacement-time graph.

After determining how far the object moves, the next question will be “How fast did the object
move?” This information can be provided by the object’s speed or velocity.

3
Speed
- Is defined as distance travelled divided by the time of travel.

- Units of speed: miles per hour (mi/h), kilometers per hour (km/h), or meters per second
(m/s).
- The rate of change of distance

Speed and Direction

In describing the motion of an object, we do not just describe how fast the object moves. We
also consider the direction to where it is going. Speed with direction is referred to as velocity.

Velocity
- Is a measure of the speed of an object and the direction it is moving in space.
- It can change even if speed is remaining constant (you just change direction)
Example:
On the escalator, passengers are moving at the same constant speed, but they are moving
in different directions.

Constant speed vs instantaneous speed

Average speed
It is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. It is considered average speed
because it represents the speed of the participant throughout his travel.

Formula in getting average speed:

v: average speed, d = distance and t = time

average speed = distance or v = d

time t
Instantaneous speed
It is the apparent speed at any moment, such as on a speedometer. The instantaneous speed
may be equal, greater than, or less than the average speed.

Constant speed
When an object’s instantaneous speed values are always the same, then it means that the
object is moving with constant speed. It means that the speed stays the same throughout the entire
distance.

Sample problem solving in SPEED:

1. Dr. Arbon can run 500m in 100s, what is his speed over that distance?
Given:
d = 500m, t = 100s
Solution:
Speed = Distance or s = d
Time t
s=d
t
= 500m
100s
s = 5 m/s Therefore, his speed is 5 m/s over that distance.

2. If a person drives his car in the speed 50 miles per hour, how far can he cover in 2.5 hours?
Given:
s = 50 mi/hr, t = 2.5 hrs.
Solution:
Distance = speed x time or d = st
d = st
= 50 mi/hr(2.5 hrs)
d = 125 miles Therefore, the person can cover 125 miles in 2.5 hours.

3. If a person travels at a speed of 40 miles per hour. At the same rate, how long will he take to
cover 160 miles distance?
Given:
s = 40 mi/hr, d = 160 miles
Solution:
time = Distance or s = d
speed s
t=d
s
= 160 miles
40 mi/hr
t = 4 hours Therefore, the person will take 4 hours to cover 160 miles.

On your notebook try to calculate for the following problems.

1. You arrive in class 45 seconds after leaving math which is 90 meters away. How fast did you
travel?
2. How much time will it take for a bug to travel 5 meters across the floor if it is traveling at 1 m/s?
3. How far can your little brother get if he can travel at 2.5 m/s and in 5 seconds you will discover
that his squirt gun has run out of paint?
