EQUATIONS
OF MOTION
MOTION - a change in the position of an object with reference to time
TYPES OF MOTION IN PHYSICS
1. TRANSLATIONAL - an object moves along a path in any of the three
dimensions
2. ROTATIONAL - an object moves along a circular path about a fixed axis
3. LINEAR- a type of translational motion where the body moves in a single
direction along a single dimension
4. PERIODIC - a type of motion that repeats itself after certain intervals of
time
- a type of motion like that of a simple pendulum where a
5. SIMPLE HARMONIC
restoring force acts in the direction of motion of the object

6. PROJECTILE - a type of motion which has a horizontal displacement as

well as vertical displacement
7. OSCILLATORY
- a type of motion which is repetitive in nature within a
time frame

DISTANCE VS. DISPLACEMENT

How far did the runner go?

5 km? 0 km?
 DISTANCE VS. DISPLACEMENT
DISTANCE
 The complete length of the path
between any two points.
 Is a scalar quantity
 It can only have positive values
 The total distance covered is equal to
the algebraic sum of all the distance
travelled in different directions.
 There is always a distance covered
whenever there is a motion.
DISPLACEMENT
 The direct length between any two points
when measured along the minimum path
between them.
 Is a vector quantity
 It can be positive, negative, and even zero
 The net displacement is the vector sum of
the individual displacements in different
directions.
 Displacement will be zero if the body
comes back to its initial position.
Examples:
1.) A physics teacher walks 4 meters East, 2 meters South, 4 meters West, and finally 2
meters North. What is her distance and displacement?

2.) A person starts at position 0 and walks 4 meters to the right, returns and walks 6
meters to the left. (a) What is displacement? (b) What is the distance traveled by him?

3.) The diagram below shows the position of a cross-country skier at various times. At
each of the indicated times, the skier turns around and reverses the direction of travel.
In other words, the skier moves from A to B to C to D. Use the diagram to determine the
resulting displacement and the distance traveled by the skier during these three
minutes. 
Examples:
4.) Consider a football coach pacing back and forth along the sidelines. The diagram below
shows several of coach's positions at various times. At each marked position, the coach
makes a "U-turn" and moves in the opposite direction. In other words, the coach moves
from position A to B to C to D. What is the coach's resulting displacement and distance of
travel?
 
 VELOCITY VS. SPEED

VELOCITY SPEED
 It refers to the displacement of a given  It refers to the distance moved by an
object over a time interval. object over a time interval.

 It has a specific direction.  It does not have any direction.

 Velocity  Speed =

 Velocity can hold a negative value.  Speed cannot hold a negative value.
Examples:
1.) While on vacation, Lisa Carr traveled a total distance of 440 miles. Her trip took 8
hours. What was her average speed?

2.) A physics teacher walks 4 meters East, 2 meters South, 4 meters West, and finally 2
meters North. The entire motion lasted for 24 seconds. Determine the average speed and the
average velocity.

3.) The diagram below shows the position of a cross-country skier at various times. At
each of the indicated times, the skier turns around and reverses the direction of travel.
In other words, the skier moves from A to B to C to D. Use the diagram to determine the
average speed and the average velocity of the skier during these three minutes.
