Grade Level
Quarter Three Time Frame: 1 session

Content Standard Demonstrate an understanding of Motion in one dimension.

Learning Competencies a. Describe the motion of an object in terms speed or velocity.

b. Create and interpret a visual presentation of the motion of objects
such as (tape charts) and motion graphs. (S7FE-IIIb-3)

I. Learning Objective 1. Describe the motion of an object in terms of acceleration. (U)

2. State the formula of acceleration.
3. Solve simple problems on acceleration.

II. Content Acceleration

Concept Acceleration (a) is defined as how quickly and in what direction the
velocity changes. A body accelerates if the body’s velocity changes.
acceleration = 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚 /
𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒍
In symbols a = ∆𝒗⃗ /
∆𝒕
NOTE: “∆” means change Since acceleration is the rate of the change in
velocity, its unit is in terms of a unit of distance and two units of time.
a = ∆𝒗⃗ ∆𝒕 = 𝒎/ 𝒔 /s a = 𝒎 /𝒔2
a = 𝒗⃗ 𝒇−𝒗⃗ 𝒊 /
𝒕𝒇− 𝒕𝒊
Acceleration (a) is the rate of change of velocity. To change the object’s
velocity the following can be done:
a. change its speed, b. change its direction, c. change its speed
and its direction
 Important equations to remember:
a = ∆𝒗⃗ ∆𝒕
t = 𝒗⃗ 𝒇 − 𝒗⃗ 𝒊/ 𝒂
𝒗⃗ 𝒊 = 𝒗⃗ 𝒇 – at
If the velocity of an object changes the object is said to accelerate.

III. Learning Tasks

 Preliminary Activities
 Opening Prayer
 Greetings
 Checking of Attendance and Classroom Cleanliness

A. Engage (Day 1) The teacher will show a sample graph of velocity versus time. Students
will analyze the graph and answer the questions below.

Guide Questions:
1. At which point/s does the car speed up?
2. At which point/s does the car slow down?
3. At which point/s does the car move at constant velocity?
4. At which point/s does the car accelerate?

 The teacher will present the lesson for today.

 The teacher will begin the lesson by letting the students read the
objectives needed to be learned for this lesson.

B. Explore Explicit:

I do:
I will show you first how to solve problems involving Acceleration.

Sample Problem 1
A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope. As it
starts down the slope, its speed is 4m/s. but 3 seconds later, at the
bottom of the slope its speed its 22m/s. What is its acceleration?

Sample Problem 2
A car can go from rest to 90 km/h in 0.003h. What is its acceleration?

Guide Questions:
 1. What are the problems all about?
2. How do you compute for speed?
3. What is the formula for speed?
4. What a stand for? vi? vf? t?
5. What is the units for acceleration? vf? vi? t?

We do:
This time, we will be solving together by following the same
format given to you in sample problems 1 and 2.

Sample Problem 3:
How long will it take a car to accelerate from 15.2 m/s to 23.5
m/s if the car has an average acceleration of 3.2 m/s2?

Sample Problem 4:
A lizard accelerates at the rate of 2 m/s 2 at a time 4seconds. What is the
lizard’s initial velocity if its final velocity is 10m/s?

Guide Questions:
1. In sample problem 4, what is the unknown?
2. How do you compute for initial velocity?
3. What is the formula if time is the unknown?

You do:
Now it is your turn to solve the problems below. Just follow the
steps in solving the problems.

Sample Problem 5:
A runner covers the last straight stretch of a race in 4 s. During that
time, he speeds up from 5 m/s to 9 m/s. What is the runner’s
acceleration in this part of the race?

Sample Problem 6:
Calculate the acceleration of Sandy riding his bicycle in a straight line
that speeds up from 4 m/s to 6 m/s in 5 seconds.

Guide Questions:
1. In sample problems 5 and 6, what is the unknown?
2. How do you compute for acceleration?

C. Explain (Day 2) Guide Questions:

1. What are the sample problems all about?
2. Can you compute the acceleration of a particular object?
3. What is the formula for acceleration?
4. When do you say that the object has positive acceleration? How
about negative acceleration?
5. When do you say that the car is travelling at a constant
acceleration? Zero acceleration?
6. When do you say that the object undergoes accelerated motion?
 D. Elaborate

Guide Questions:
1. What can you say about this picture?
2. When can you see this kind of vintas?
3. What will they do?
4. Describe their speed and acceleration?
5. Why will they speed up or accelerate their motion?

IV. Evaluate Solve the following problems and show your calculations:
1. What is the acceleration of a car that maintains a constant
velocity of 100 km/h for 10 s?
2. Peter is riding s bicycle at a velocity of 5 m/s, N. Five seconds
later, he is already travelling at a velocity of 15 m/s in the same
direction. What is his acceleration?
3. A train starting from rest acquires a velocity of 40 m/s in 10s.
What is its acceleration?
