What I Need to Know
Studying Physics begins with mechanics. It is a study of how force, matter

and motion are related to each other. Kinematics is concerned with describing
motion. It is a continuous change of object’s position. The simplest case for motion
is any object moving in a straight line. In previous module, we discussed
displacement as the first concept for studying motions. This module will present
other concepts involving motions.
This module is divided into four lessons:

Lesson
Motion
1
What’s In
The lesson on displacement was presented in previous module. It is the

change of an object’s position. Any particle undergoing motion will always change
its position. This time we will deal with objects in motion. It involves related
kinematic concepts which will help us understand the idealized model.
6
What’s New
The higher number of death cases were attributed to driving behaviors of

Filipinos. Most of these cases were due to reckless driving, under bad effects of
drugs or alcohol use. Hence, the Land Transportation Office revised some of its
policies in providing license as a driver. While it is encouraged to always educate
ourselves with the legal policies, we are also encouraged to always observe
precautionary measures.

What is It
Suppose a car moves in a straight line. This rectilinear motion refers to any
object travelling along a straight and narrow line. Here, the car is represented as a
particle. We will set the coordinate system and choose the horizontal axis or x-axis
as its path. The object’s motion can be described based on reference and inertial
frames. The reference frame is the referred
motion and position of objects while inertial
frames refer to the reference frame moving
with constant velocity.
P1 P2
x – axis
xinitial xfinal
tinitial tfinal
We start with defining displacement. It
refers to the change of position of an object. The particle’s displacement is a vector
that points from P1 to P2 and is given by:
∆ x=x f −x i
where Δx represents change of position, xi is the initial position of the particle and
xf is the particle’s final position. We
Say the initial point was at 8m and the final point was at 30 m. The SI unit
for displacement is meter (m).
∆ x=x f −x i=30 m−8 m=22m
7
When we want to describe its motion, we need to involve time. The time and
space are interrelated to each other when we study motion. The SI unit for time is
second (s). We also take its change of time as it travels from P 1 to P2.
∆ t=t f −t i=4 s−1 s=3 s
Now, we want to quantify its motion through the definition of average speed
of an object. It refers to the distance travelled by the body and the time it takes to
travel.
total distance
save =
elapsed time
However, since we deal with vector quantities which have both magnitude
and direction, we define its average velocity during this time interval. Take note, its
position has changed, therefore the direction of the particle has also changed over
the time interval.
∆ x x f −xi
v ave = =
∆ t t f −t i
Based on the equation, when change in position becomes negative, this
implies that the particle is moving leftwards. It moves rightward when it becomes
more positive. The following are illustrations of how changes in object’s position
determines its velocity.

Although speed and velocity has the same set of quantities involved
(distance/displacement and time), speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a
vector quantity. Speed can only tell the magnitude of how fast or how slow you
move while velocity tells us both magnitude and direction. You would notice that
we are only concerned with the initial and final points. We have no idea of the car’s
motion within initial and final points. Going back to our car’s example, we are
interested to know its velocity at a specific time.
P1 P2
x –axis
Hence, we must assume that the velocity of particle was different in each
time intervals. This leads us to define instantaneous velocity. Instantaneous
velocity gives us how fast the car moved during a time interval. This is also
∆x
referred as the velocity at a specific constant time. It is given by: v x = lim
∆ t →0 ∆t
The notation means that the ratio ∆ x /∆ t is repeatedly evaluated for smaller
and smaller time intervals. As ∆ t approaches zero, the ratio gets closer to a fixed
number, which is defined as instantaneous velocity. The slope of the line tangent is
defined as the instantaneous velocity.

When an object changes its direction and/or magnitude during the travel,
the body accelerates. Consider the car captured by strobe photography at 60
flashes per second. You would notice the spaces between the images. This
manifests that the object accelerates. This has nothing to do with how fast. Slowing
down still produces acceleration but directed in opposite direction. For motion with
constant velocity, the acceleration is always zero. Acceleration can also be observed
when you step harder on the gas pedal the car and suddenly moves fast or
decrease the motion when you apply brakes. You also accelerate when you round a
curve, changing the direction of your motion.
This is represented by the equation:

∆ v v f −v i
a⃗ = =
∆ t t f −t i
Where Δv is the change of velocity,
Δt is change of time, v f is the final
velocity and vi is the initial velocity. The
SI unit for acceleration is meter per
second per second (m/s2). When a car
has an acceleration of +5 m/s 2, this
means that, on average, the car
increases its velocity by 5 m/s every
second in the + x direction.

The velocity of the object increases with time when the object’s velocity and
acceleration are in the same direction. It decreases when the object’s velocity and
acceleration are in opposite directions. As we have followed before, we also would
like to know the acceleration at certain time interval. This is called instantaneous
acceleration. It is analogous to instantaneous velocity, given by:

Lesson
Motion Graphs

What’s In
In the previous lesson, you were formally introduced to the basic concepts of
motion – displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration. The motion can also be
quantified at an instant. This refers to the motion of an object at a specific period.
For this module, you will be describing motions through graphs. Graphical displays
help us visualize the motions of an object.
What’s New
The use of graphs has greatly helped us in illustrating the behavior of

objects in the physical world. This is an application of what you have learned in
your trigonometry class when you begin the subject with Cartesian coordinate
system or the xy plane. Mathematics and sciences is always related to each other.
Every natural process can be expressed mathematically.
What is It
The graph can be used to interpret the motion of an object. The following
graphs can be used: x-t (position-time), v-t (velocity-time) and a-t (acceleration-
14
time) graphs. The following are the cases of motion and their corresponding motion
graphs.

Motion with Constant

What’s In
The previous lesson taught you how to illustrate motions through graphs or
how to interpret motion graphs. If you recall, the first lesson reminds us that any
change of object’s velocity would result to acceleration while in lesson 2, you were
able to encounter the graph of motions at accelerated motion. For this lesson, you
will be dealing with situations of uniformly accelerated motions represented by
kinematic equations.
What’s New
Launching rockets to space is one

of the most expensive and risky funding
programs by a national government. The
promising minds of brilliant scientists and
engineers are expected but turning these
plans into realities within uncontrollable
20
environments puts trillions of dollars at stake. However, Space X has developed a
reusable launch system development program which is composed of new
technologies for an orbital launch system which can be reused many times. The
project aims to launch vehicles to the launch site and return to second stage to
launch pad in an orbital realignment and atmospheric reentry for 24 hours. This is
a big challenge especially on vehicles travelling at orbital velocity. This innovation
will now realize the point-to-point transportation on Earth.
What is It
When an object moves with constant acceleration, it is said that the rate of
change of its velocity is always the same throughout the motion. The graph is
represented by a straight line. Based on the graph, the slope is constant. This
graph will help us in deriving the kinematic equations.
v f −vi
a=
t f −t i
v f −vi
a=
t
We take two points from the line. Using slope formula
m = rise / run, we derive the formula for acceleration.
We assume initial time is zero, hence, we have
equation (1)
( 1 ) v f =vi + at
velocity as a function of time and acceleration
From the equation of average ∆x

velocity, we solve for its
v ave =
∆t
displacement. The average ∆ x=( v ave ) ( t )
velocity can be represented by
v +v
the average of initial and final v ave = i f
velocities. 2
∆ x= (
vi + vf

(t )
Thus, we arrive with equation (2):

x f −x i=( v +2v )(t ) (2)

We now combine equation 1 and v f =v i +at

Lesson
Freely Falling Bodies
3
25
What’s In
You were introduced with motions that involves uniform acceleration. The
most familiar example of a motion with nearly constant acceleration is a body
falling towards the center of the Earth. This module will help you understand free
falling bodies and how kinematic equations are also involved in computing freefall-
related problems.
What’s New
Legends will always tell us how Galileo Galilei attempted to prove that any
objects at different weights will fall at the same rate at the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Historians already doubt this claim and even found it skeptical. His masterpiece,
Discourses Concerning Two New Sciences narrated his experiment of a 100 pound
cannon ball and 1 pound musket ball using a water clock down an incline to study
their acceleration. He wanted to debunk Aristotle’s claim that objects fall relative to
its weight. So, a feather will take a longer time to reach the ground than the rock.
This law was accurately tested by placing low power laser beams triggering clocks
at the other end of the beam. Using time lapse photography of any falling object,
they have proven his calim. The feather and a rock experiment was conducted in
Moon and both simultaneously landed on the surface at the same time.
What is It
When air resistance is negligible, objects dropped under the influence of

gravity near Earth’s surface fall toward Earth with the same constant acceleration.
A freely falling body is any object moving freely under the influence of gravity alone,
regardless its initial motion. The magnitude of free-fall acceleration is denoted by a
symbol g. The value of g is approximately equal to 9.80 m/s 2 or 980 cm/ s 2 or 32
2 2
ft /s . On the surface of the moon, the acceleration force is 1.67 m/s . Near the
surface of the sun, the gravity is 274 m/s 2 .
26
The kinematic equations will still be used but we will be
replacing “x” with “y” and “a” with “g” where g is equal
to -9.8 m/s2. Freely falling bodies could either be
dropped or thrown upward.

car made. The car is moving in a straight line (the x-axis).
Time (s) 0 2.1 20.0 53
Speed (mi/h) 0 60 200 253
(a) Sketch a v-t graph of this car’s velocity (in mi/h) as a function of time. Is its
acceleration constant? (b) Calculate the car’s average acceleration (in m/s 2)
between (i) 0 and 2.1 s; (ii) 2.1 s and 20.0 s;
(iii) 20.0 s and 53 s. Are these results consistent with your graph in part (a)?
(Before you decide to buy this car, it might be helpful to know that only 300
will be built, it runs out of gas in 12 minutes at
top speed, and it costs more than $1.5 million!)
4. A tennis ball on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.379g and air
resistance is negligible, is hit directly upward and returns to the same level 8.5 s
later.
(a) How high above its original point did the ball go?
(b) How fast was it moving just after it was hit?
(c) Sketch graphs of the ball’s vertical position, vertical velocity, and vertical
acceleration as functions of time while it’s in the Martian air.
5.A rocket carrying a satellite is accelerating straight up from the earth’s surface.
At 1.15 s after liftoff, the rocket clears the top of its launch platform, 63 m above
the ground. After an additional 4.75 s, it is 1.00 km above the ground. Calculate
the magnitude of the average velocity of the rocket for (a) the 4.75-s part of its flight
and (b) the first 5.90 s of its flight.
