A. Motion
What comes to your mind when you hear the word motion?
In physics, motion is a change in location or position of an object with
respect to time
Exercise 1.
Distance and
Displacement
1. What is the distance and the displacement covered by a toy car if it travels
4m north and then 3 m east?
ANSWER:
2. Every day Rahim walks from his house to the junction which is
1.5 km from his house. Then he turns back and stops at warung
Pak Din which is 0.5 km from his house.
a. What the total distance traveled by Rahim?
b. What is Rahim’s total displacement from his house?
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
C. Speed
Speed is defined as the distance travelled by the object per unit time.
The speed of a body tells us how quickly or slowly a body is moving
D. Velocity
Velocity is distance travelled per unit time in a stated direction
The SI unit for velocity is meter per second (m/s). Other commonly
unit is kilometer/hour (km/hour)
Exercise 2.
Speed and Velocity
1. If we travel 320 km in 4 hours, what is our average speed? If we drive at this
average speed for 5 hours, how far will we go?

2. Thunder traveled in the air at a speed of 330 m/s. If the lighting source was
3.3 km away from where you were standing, how long did it take for the
sound to be heard from your position?
ANSWER:
b) What is displacement?
ANSWER:
4. A train on a straight track traveled 120 km to the East for 2 h, stopped for

E. Acceleration
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity
Where,
a = acceleration (m/s2)
∆v = change in velocity (m/s)
vt = final velocity (m/s)
V0 = initial velocity (m/s)
t = time taken for the change (s)
v is constant ---> ∆v = 0
a=0
v is changes
a = constant
Note:
a = acceleration (m/s2)

• Distance vs. Time graph
A distance-graph is obtained by plotting the distance (s)
travelled by an object
