LESSON 1: ONE- DIMENSIONAL KINEMATICS

This handout provides you with scientific knowledge and skills about One-Dimensional Kinematics.
Kinematics is a branch of mechanics that deals with describing an object’s motion without considering its
causes. One dimensional kinematics, therefore, is about describing the motion of objects along a straight
path (rectilinear motion) through words, diagrams, graphs or equations.  The lessons in this handout is
necessary in describing motion and graphical representation of motion.
Describing Motion
Motion is all around us. Every day, we see objects that are moving like people walking or running,
ball rolling, birds flying in the sky, vehicles running on the road and many more. We also noticed that objects
move in different ways. Some in curved paths, others in straight-line path. Motion is the action of changing
location or position. The study of motion without regard to the forces or energies that may be involved is
called kinematics. It is the simplest branch of mechanics. The branch of mechanics that deals with both
motion and forces together is called dynamics and the study of forces in the absence of changes in motion
or energy is called statics.
When we discuss the motion of an object, we describe it relative to a reference point. We call this as
a frame of reference. Objects that we call stationary—such as a tree, a sign, or a building—make good
reference points. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to this frame of reference. There are
several physical quantities that can quantitatively describe the motion of objects as you have studied in your
Junior High school science. We shall review them in this lesson.

Distance and Displacement

A body has moved if it has changed position with respect to a reference point, like traveling from your
house to school.  Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points. Distance, d, a scalar
quantity, is the length of path that a moving body travels. It is commonly expressed in meter, kilometer,
centimeter or feet. Displacement, d⃗ , a vector quantity, is the shortest distance between the initial position
and final position.  Examples of displacement are 5 km, E and 100
m, NE.
Sample Problem 1: A boy started from the tower (point A) moved
to point B then went back to point A. What is his total distance
travelled? What about his displacement?

Solution: 
d=10m + 10m =20 m; since distance is a scalar quantity, we don’t Source: Project EASE Physics
mind the direction. We simply add the magnitude.
d= 10m, E + (-10 m,W)=0; since displacement is a vector quantity, Figure 1. Motion of a boy along a straight path
we have to consider the direction of the motion. Travelling to the
East, E, is positive and travelling to the West, W, is negative. 

1
Sample Problem 2. A man walks 175 m to the east, then
turns back and walks 40 m due west. What is the total
distance he walked? What is his total displacement?  
 

Figure 2. Motion of the man

Solution: The total distance he walked is d= 175 m + 40 m= 215 m. However, for his total or net
displacement, we have to consider the directions. Considering the Cartesian plane, going east is positive
and going west is negative, his displacement is d= 175m East+ (- 40 km West) = 135 m, East. Therefore,
the net displacement of the man is 135 m, due East.

Speed and Velocity

Speed, v, a scalar quantity, refers to the rate of motion. It is the ratio of distance covered and the elapsed
time of travel. In equation,
distance
speed=
elapsed time

d
In symbol:    v=                 Since speed is distance divided by time, speed is expressed in
t
terms of the unit of distance and unit of time. The SI unit for distance is meter, and time is second.   Thus,
speed is expressed in meters per second or m/s. For vehicles, the standard unit for speed is kilometers per
hour or km/h (kph). In other countries such as USA, they use miles per hour or mph as unit of speed.  What
about the speed of ship?  Are they also expressed in kph or mph?  (No.  Ship’s speed is expressed in
nautical per hour or knots.)  
  The average speed can be determined by dividing the total distance travelled by the total time of travel. In
total distance
equation:  Ave . speed =
total time of travel
d total
      In symbol:    v ave =
t total
For example, a bus travelled 120 kilometers in 3 hours. What is the speed of the bus? Did the bus
travel at constant speed of 40 kph in 3 hours?  Perhaps, the bus travelled at 20 km/h, 30 km/h, 60 km/h or
120 km/h or it stopped several times. In other words, its speed was not constant as it travelled for 3 hours.
So, the 40 kph refers to the average speed of the bus.
Are you familiar with the instrument called speedometer?  It is one of the devices on the instrument
panel in front of the driver’s seat of a motor vehicle.  Is the speed indicated in the speedometer an average
speed? (No.) The speedometer indicates the instantaneous speed of the vehicle, which refers to the speed
of the vehicle at the instant you were reading the speedometer.   
The description of motion is not complete if it includes speed only. We also have to consider its
direction. With this, we use the term velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity defined as the ratio of the
displacement to the total time elapsed. 
The average velocity ( ⃗v ave ¿ is the total displacement of an object divided by the elapsed time. In symbols: 
d
⃗v ave=  
t
      where: d = total displacement t = elapsed time ⃗v ave = average velocity

Sample Problem 1 (Speed): Lydia de Vega is a world-renowned Filipino track

and field athlete. She can run the 100-m dash in about 11.0 seconds. What is her
average speed?
Given:      d= 100.0 m         t= 11.0 s   
Required: average speed
d
Solution:               v ave=                          Source:

100 m m
  v ave= v ave =9.09 Figure 3. Lydia De Vega

Therefore, the average speed of Lydia de Vega is 9.09 m/s.

Sample Problem 2 (Velocity):

John walks to his friend’s house. He walks 750 meters East, then realizes he walked too far. He turns
around and walks 250 meters West. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his average velocity?
Given: d1= 750 m, East d2= 250 m, West t = 13 s
Required:   ⃗v ave
d
Solution: ⃗v ave =
t
750 m+(−250m)
⃗v ave =
13 s
500 m
⃗v ave =
13 s
⃗v ave =38.46 m/s

The average velocity of John in his entire walk is 38.46 m/s.

Acceleration
An object accelerates when it speeds up, slows down or changes direction. In other words, the
motion is accelerated when the velocity of the object changes.  Recall that velocity refers to both magnitude
(speed) and direction.  
       Acceleration is the rate of change of motion or the change in velocity per unit time.  In equation,
∆v
a=
∆t
v f −vi
 a= ,The unit of acceleration is m/s/s or m/s2. 
∆t
Sample Problem 1: A race car’s forward velocity increases from 4.0 m/s to 36 m/s over a 4.0 s-time
interval. What is its average acceleration?

Figure 4. A race car’s motion.

Sample Problem 2: A car with an initial velocity of 20 m/s, accelerates at a rate of 5 m/s 2 for 3 seconds,
what will its final velocity be?

Graphical Rep resentation
of Motion
Figure 5. A car’s motion.

Using a graph for a

pictorial representation of two sets of data is called a graphical representation of data. One entity is
represented on the x-axis of the graph while the other is represented on the y-axis. Out of the two entities,
one is a dependent set of variables while the other is independent an independent set of variables.
We use line graphs to describe the motion of an object. This graph shows the dependency of a physical

3
quantity speed or distance on another quantity, for example, time.

Position vs. Time Graph

         An object’s motion can be represented by a position-time graph. In this graph, the x- axis
represents the time and the y- axis represents the position of the object relative to the starting point.
The position-time graph tells us how far an object has travelled from its starting position at any
given time it started moving.
Sample Problem 1: Using Figure 6 to answer the following:
1. At what time is the car’s position equal to 40m? (The
car is at 40m at time t= 4s)
2. What was the car’s position ta t=2s? (The car’s
position is 20m at t=2s)
3. What is the total distance travelled by the car at the
end of 5s? (The car travelled a total distance of 50m).

Figure 6. Position vs. Time Graph of a Car

What Does the Slope of the Position- Time Graph Represent?

Recall that in Mathematics, the slope of the line describes the direction and the steepness of
the line. It is equal to the rise divided by the run. Mathematically,
∆ y y 2−¿ y
m= = ¿

∆ x x 2−x 1
where    m= slope of the line
                  y1= y coordinate of Point 1       x1= x coordinate of Point 1      
      y2= y coordinate of Point 2       x2= x coordinate of Point 2
Consider again Figure 6, let us determine its slope using the following two points.
P (1s, 10m) and P (2s, 20m)

∆ y y 2−¿ y 20 m−10 m 10 m
To get the slope: m= = =1

∆ x x 2−x 1 2 s−1 s 1s
Take a look at the unit of the slope of the line we got. What quantity does this unit represent? The
slope of the line of a Position-time graph is the speed or velocity of an object.
 Let us try using other set of two points from the graph.

4
 Note that for the different sets of two points on the line that we used, the slope is the same. It
means that the velocity of the car is constant. The graph above shows an object moving at
constant velocity.

Velocity- Time Graph

An object’s motion can be represented by a velocity-time
graph (See Figure 7). In this graph, the x-axis represents the time
and the y-axis represents the velocity of the object relative to the
starting point. The velocity-time graph tells us how fast an object
moves.
Let’s solve for the slope of the velocity-time graph of a car
in Figure 7.

Finding the Displacement from the Velocity vs. Time Graph
The velocity-time graph can be used to determine the displacement of an object. This is
done by getting the area of the shaded sections between the line and the time axis.
Sample Problem 1: Determine the displacement of the object in Figure 8 for the first 4 seconds.

Solution: To get displacement, we will get the area of the

Given: b=4s h= 30m/s

The object was displaced 120 m during the first 4 seconds of
motion.

Given: b=3s h= 30m/s

The object was displaced 45 m during its 3 seconds of motion.
Finding the Velocity from the Acceleration vs. Time
Graph
The acceleration-time graph can be used to determine
the change in velocity of an object. This is done by getting
the area of the shaded sections between the line and the
time axis.
Sample Problem 1: The graph shown on the right gives the
acceleration of the race car as it starts to speed up. Assume
the race car had a velocity of 20 m/s at time t=0 s. Find the
final velocity of the driver when she reaches the finish line.
Figure 9. Acceleration vs. Time Graph of an Object
(during its 3 seconds of motion)
  Solution:
We can find the change in velocity by finding the area under the acceleration- time graph.

This calculation gave us the change in velocity during the given time interval. To calculate the final
velocity, we need to use the definition of change in velocity.
∆ v=v f - vi
Substituting the values in the equation, we get
v 20 m 24 m
f− =

v 20 m 24 m

v 44 m

Therefore, the final velocity of the racer is 44ms.

LESSON 2: MOTION WITH CONSTANT ACCELERATION AND FREE FALL

The simplest kind of accelerated motion is straight-line motion with constant acceleration. In this case
the velocity changes at the same rate throughout the motion. As an example, a falling body has a constant
acceleration if the effects of the air are not important. The same is true for a body sliding on an incline or
along a rough horizontal surface, or for an airplane being catapulted from the deck of an aircraft carrier.

The following equations show relations between variables in motions with constant acceleration:

Sample Problem:
A motorcyclist heading east through a small town
accelerates at a constant 4.0 m/s2 after he leaves the city
limits. At time t= 0 he is 5.0 m east of the city-limits
signpost, moving east at 15 m/s. (a) Find his position and
velocity at t= 2.0 s. (b) Where is he when his velocity is
25 m/s? (See Figure 10)

Free Falling Bodies

The most familiar example of motion with (nearly) constant acceleration is a body falling under the influence
of the earth’s gravitational attraction. Such motion has held the attention of philosophers and scientists since
ancient times. In the fourth century B.C., Aristotle thought (erroneously) that heavy bodies fall faster than
light bodies, in proportion to their weight. Nineteen centuries later, Galileo argued that a body should fall with
a downward acceleration that is constant and independent of its weight. Experiment shows that if the effects
of the air can be neglected, Galileo is right; all bodies at a particular location fall with the same downward
acceleration, regardless of their size or weight. If in addition the distance of the fall is small compared with
the radius of the earth, and if we ignore small effects due to the earth’s rotation, the acceleration is constant.
The idealized motion that results under all of these assumptions is called free fall, although it includes rising
as well as falling motion.
Free fall is a special case of one-dimensional motion. Here, the constant acceleration is due to gravity.

Sample Problem
A one-peso coin is dropped from the Tower and falls freely
from rest. What are its position and velocity after 1.0s,
2.0s, and 3.0s?

Solution: Falls freely means falls with constant

acceleration due to gravity, so we can use the constant
acceleration equations. Figure 11 shows our motion
diagram for the coin. The motion is vertical, so we use a
vertical coordinate axis and call the coordinate y instead
of x . We take the origin O at the starting point and the
upward direction as positive. The initial coordinate y 0 and
the initial y-velocity v 0 y are both zero. The y-acceleration
is downward (in the negative y-direction), so
2
a y =−g=−9.8 m/s . (Remember that, by definition, g itself
is a positive quantity.) our target variables are the values
of y and v y at the three given times. To find these, we use Equation 1 Figure 11. A coin freely falling from rest
and 2 using y variable. Our choice of the upward direction as positive
means that all positions and velocities we calculate will be negative.
Thus, at a time t after the coin is dropped, its position and y -velocity are

 When t=1.0 s , y= ( −4.9s m ) ¿
2 ,

the coin is 4.9 m below the origin (y is negative) and has downward velocity ( v yis negative) with magnitude
9.8m/s.
We can find the positions and y-velocities at 2.0s and 3.0s in the same way. The results are
y=−20 m∧v 20m −29 m
y=¿− at t =2.0 s ,∧ y=−44 m∧v y = at t =3.0 s .¿
