Exercise #1
Describing motion of an object in terms of distance or displacement, speed or velocity, and
acceleration
I. Underline the correct answer.
1. Change in position with respect to a reference point (direction, motion)
2. A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion
(reference point, magnitude)
3. Quantities that just have magnitude but no direction ( Scalar, Vector)
4. Quantities that have both magnitude and direction ( Scalar, Vector)
5. Total length of the entire path that the object or a person traveled in moving from
place to another (Displacement, distance)
6. The shortest distance between the object’s initial position and final position
(Displacement, distance)
7. Standard unit of Distance and Displacement (meter, kilometer)
8. The rate of distance covered at a given time ( Speed, Velocity )
9. It tells how fast an object is moving without referring to the direction of motion.
( Speed, Velocity )
10. It represents the speed of the object throughout its travel
( Instantaneous speed, Average Speed )
11. It refers to the speed of the object at a particular instant
Instantaneous speed, Average Speed )
12. Object’s instantaneous speed values are always the same
( Constant Speed, Constant Velocity )
13. Used to measure instantaneous speed of a vehicle(Thermometer, Speedometer)
14. Refers to the rate of change in displacement and also known as speed with
Direction ( Velocity, Acceleration)
15. Standard unit for Speed and Velocity ( meter per second, miles per hour )
16. Refers to the velocity of an object at a particular instant
( Instantaneous Velocity, Constant Velocity )
17. The velocity is the same throughout (Instantaneous Velocity, Constant Velocity )
18. Refers to the rate of change in speed or velocity of an object
( Acceleration, Velocity )
19. SI unit for Acceleration ( m/s2 , km/hr2 )
20. A decrease in speed or velocity ( Acceleration, deceleration )
Write A if there is an acceleration and N if not.
________1. Jose is walking at a constant speed. As he reached the corner of the
street, he turned right.
________2. A car with a constant speed 0f 80 km/hr is running in a straight line.
________3. A truck from stop motion gained a speed of 40 km/hr.
________4. A racing car that is about to reach the finish line increases its speed at its
Maximum.
________5. A motorcycle with a constant velocity of 50 km/hr suddenly stopped
when the traffic light turned red.

Distance and Displacement
Distance-d= d1+d2+d3…=N
Displacement -Final position-initial position
1. Ana traveled 6km, E and then 9km, W. Find Ana‟s distance travelled and displacement.

Speed and Velocity

Speed- s= d/t
Velocity -v= displacement/t

Speed and Velocity 2. A ball rolls in a straight path 15 meters to the right for 5 seconds and another 15 meters
Speed- s= d/t for 10 seconds in the same direction. What is the ball‟s speed and velocity?
Velocity -v= displacement/t

2. A ball rolls in a straight path 15 meters to the right for 5 seconds and another 15 meters
for 10 seconds in the same direction. What is the ball‟s speed and velocity?

Acceleration
acceleration = final velocity – initial velocity
elapsed time
Acceleration
acceleration = final velocity – initial velocity 3. A group of students went on a field trip to visit some of the tourist‟s spots in Bicol. On
elapsed time their way from Camarines Sur Water Complex to Cagsawa Ruins in Albay, the bus they
were 36 riding changed its speed from 5 m/s to 13 m/s in 4 s. What is the acceleration of
the bus?
