 Scalar quantities:
• Have magnitude (size) but no direction.

• Examples: distance (10m)

time (6 s)
speed (12.3 km/h)
 Vector quantities:
• Have both magnitude (size) and direction.

• Examples: * position (12 km due south)

* displacement ( 3m upward)
* velocity ( 13.5 m/s downward)
 MOTION
Are we moving right now?
How do you know if you are moving?
when you travel by car, do you move?
What is motion?
any physical movement or change in position
or place, relative to a reference point.

What is reference point?

A place or object used for comparison to
determine if something is in motion
Position,Distance and
Displacement

 Position: Location of the object at a

specific time

 Distance and displacement are two

quantities which may seem to mean
the same thing, yet they have
distinctly different meanings and
definitions.
 Distance and Displacement
Distance = how far an object has moved
Measured in meters, kilometers (cm or mm)

If each mark represents

10 cm, what is the
distance between the
girl and the ball? 100 cm
_____
 If the girl walks to the red ball,
then walks backwards to the
bear, how far has she
130 cm
traveled? _____

Displacement = the distance of a body's change

in position from a starting point.
70 cm from the starting point.
Her final displacement is ______
Example
A physics teacher walks 4 meters East, 2 meters South, 4 meters West, and finally 2 meters North.

• Distance :how far an

object has moved
• distance=
4m+2m+4m+2m= 12m
• displacement = Positionfinal -
Positioninital
• Displacemen: 0 meter

Conclusion: Even though the physics

teacher has walked a total distance
of 12 meters, her displacement is 0
meters.
 Example:
• Vanessa walks from home (0m) to school
which is 4.55 m North of her house. What is
her displacement?

• ∆d = df – di
= 4.55m – 0m
= 4.55 m N or +4.55m
