 Distance
defined to be the magnitude or
size of displacement between
two positions.
 Time
the measured or measurable
period during which an action,
process, or condition exists or
continues
Displacement
Defined as the change in position
of an object. It is a vector
quantity and has a direction and
magnitude.
 Velocity
It is a quantity that designates
how fast and in what direction
an object is moving
 Acceleration
It is the rate at which velocity
changes with time, in terms of
both speed and direction
 Speed
The rate of change of position
of an object in any direction
 Motion
The change in position of an
object with respect to a reference
point in a given interval of time
Sir Isaac Newton
Law of Interia

Law of
Interaction
Law of Acceleration

The acceleration of an object as produced by a

net force is (directly/inversely)
directly proportional to
the magnitude of the net force, in the
(same/opposite)
same direction as the net force, and
(directly/inversely)
inversely proportional to the
(mass/weight)
mass of the object.
The larger the force applied
on the object, the larger its
acceleration .
ACCELERATION is
defined as the rate
of change in
velocity with time.
It is a vector
quantity having
both magnitude and
direction.
Assume that you are riding a vehicle and observed these
speedometer readings:

Acceleration occurs in the
following cases:
1. Increasing speed or velocity
2. Decreasing speed or velocity
3. Changing direction of the
object
 Uniformly Accelerated
Motion (UAM)
•In Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM), the
value of the acceleration is constant. It does
not change. The velocity changes but at a
constant rate.
• An object with zero acceleration is said to be

in uniform motion.
 Uniformly Accelerated
Motion (UAM)
• An object in uniformly accelerated motion
has non-zero but constant acceleration.
• Acceleration represents how velocity
changes with time. Velocity represents
how position changes with time.
