Motion in One Dimension

Name: ___________________________________________ Section: ____________________

Learning Objective

Create and interpret the visual representation of the motion of objects such as tape charts
and motion graphs. (S7FE-IIIb-3)
Sub-Tasks:
1. Describe and interpret the motion of an object using tape charts and distance-time
graphs;
2. Illustrate distance and displacement of an object in motion; and
3. Relate motion and its importance in your everyday life.

Time Allotment: 4 hours

Key Concepts

 The position of an object can be described in many ways, not just in words. You
can also use visuals, like diagrams or graphs.
 In using diagrams, the positions of the objects are described by their
coordinates along the number line.

Figure 1. Position of the ball at a given time

 In using graphs, the first step is to organize the data using a table. Refer to the
one below.
Table 1. Position of the ball vs time as described in figure 1
Time (s) Distance (m)
0 0
5 sec 5m
10 sec 10m
15 sec 15m

 The next step is to plot the values in Table 1 as points on the graph. The time is
plotted on the X-axis while the location is plotted on the Y-axis. An example is
given below. Lastly, draw a straight diagonal line through the points in the graph.
This is called a distance-time graph.

time (s)
Figure 2. Distance vs Time graph

 Motion is defined as the change in position for a

particular time interval.
 Distance refers to the length of the entire path that the
object traveled.
 Displacement refers to the shortest distance between
the object’s two positions, like the distance between its
point of origin and its point of destination, no matter
what path it took to get to that destination.

 Figure 3 shows the difference between distance

Figure 3. Difference between
traveled (represented by broken lines) by an object
distance and displacement
and its displacement (represented by continuous lines).

 Acceleration is the act or process of moving faster or happening more quickly.

 If an object does not change its position at a given time interval, then it is at
rest, or its speed is zero or not accelerating.
 If an object covers equal distance at equal intervals of time, then it is moving at
a constant speed and still not accelerating.
 If an object covers varying distances at equal intervals of time, then it is moving
with changing speed. It means that the object is accelerating.

Exercises / Activities

Activity 1: Detective Work

On your training as a private investigator, you come across a hit-and-run accident.

The suspect was caught on a CCTV camera fleeing from the scene. When questioned, the suspect
denied being involved in the accident because he was driving slow at a constant speed. On the
crime scene, you noticed spots on the floor. You discovered from the CCTV footage that these were
oil spots from the suspect’s car during the accident. You will now begin to investigate the speed of
the car to check whether the suspect was telling the truth about him driving at a constant speed.

 A. Using Graphs

What you need

ruler
paper strips with dots

What to do

1. Observe the paper strip with dots below. Label each dot. Start from 0, then 1, 2,
3, and so on. In this example, each dot occurred every 1 second. The dots
represent the oil drops.

1 second

2. Using a ruler, determine the distance traveled (mm)
traveled by car after 1 second, 2 0
seconds, and so on, by measuring the 1
distance between drops 0 and 1, 0 and 2
2, and so on. Enter your measurements 3

4. Join the mid-points of the tops of the tapes with a line.

Guide Questions: Write your answers in the space provided.

1. How will you interpret this graph in terms of the speed of the moving car?

 2. If you found out in your investigation that the arrangement of oil drops left by the
car is similar to what you used in this activity, was the suspect telling the truth
when he said that he was driving with constant speed? Support your answer.

B. Using tape charts

What you need y-axis

ruler
paper strips with dots
scissor or any paper-cutting tool

(cut with guidance from a parent)

x-axis
What to do
Figure 6. Sample tape chart
1. Obtain the cut-out paper strips with dots attached to this module.
2. Measure the distances between the successive dots using a ruler.
3. Cut the strip at each drop, starting from the first to the last drop, and paste
them side by side on a graph paper to form a tape chart as shown in Figure 6.

Guide Questions: Write your answers in the space provided.

1. How will you compare the distances between successive dots?

Activity 2: Guide Me Home

A dog named Brutus has accompanied his master’s son to school. On his return
home, he walked 100 meters east before turning north to continue walking within 70 meters. After
that, he ran 80 meters east to greet his beloved master who was waiting for him at the front door
of his home.

What to do

1. Illustrate the distance and displacement of Brutus’s trip home following the
cardinal directions.
2. Show the difference between distance traveled using a broken line and its
displacement using a continuous line.
3. Specify the distance traveled below each road that you draw. To correctly follow
the measurements of the situation in your drawing, consider the following scale:
20 meters = 1 cm.
4. Use the rubric below as your guide in rating your work.

Reflection

Humanity, in its history, has greatly developed because of its ability to move. Among
all things that exist in this world, animals and human beings have been given the blessing
of movability. With movability, the world was given the ability to change and to progress. It
is safe to say that as long as we can go forward, we can do anything. How important is the
movement to your everyday life? What do you think will happen if human beings can’t move
at all? Answer these questions in a short essay. A rubric is provided below to score your
work.
