Q3 PERFORMANCE TASK NO.1

TOPIC: DISTANCE OF OBJECTS
IN MOTION
Distance of Objects in Motion
You have learned in the previous lesson how to tell if an object is moving or not.
We found out that motion may be defined as change of an object’s position as caused by
force. When there is movement there is motion. We also learned that the reference point
determines the position of an object.
Now in this lesson you will learn how to measure how far the object moved. Distance is
an important factor in measuring motion. You can tell how fast or slow we are moving
depending on the distance that you are taking. Distance is the measure of how far or near
two points are from one another. It can be measured using different ways such as time,
landmark, or body parts but it is inaccurate. There are appropriate tools and ways to
measure distance so that you can tell whether an object is far or near. Distance should
always be exact, measured accurately, and based on a standard unit of measurement. That
is why we need to use measuring tools such as the ruler, meter stick, tape measure,
measuring wheel and ultrasonic distance measurer. The metric system is the world
standard for measurement.
The standard unit of measurement used for distance or length is meter. Add prefix kilo
for distance that is quite far. Prefixes like deci, centi and milli are used if the length is quite
short.
A. Complete each sentence. Choose your answer inside the box.

The change in position with respect to a reference

point is called (1) . Through a Tape measure
(2)__________________one can tell whether an
object has moved or not.
Distance
(3) is the measure of how far or near two Meter
points are from one another. A Standard unit of
measure makes it easier for scientists and other Speed
people to understand each other’s data. (4)____
Reference point
is the standard unit of measurement
used for distance or length. Distance is measured
by using tools such as meterstick, (5)_________ Motion
measuring wheel and ultrasonic distance
measure.

speed of the truck?
Speed = D ÷ T __________________

7. Jesse throws a ball that moves at an average speed

of 35 meter per second and travels for a total of 5 seconds.
Work out the distance travelled by the ball.
Distance = S X T ________________
B. Read and Solve the following.

8. A car travels at an average speed of 50 mph. How long will it take

9-10. Ana wants to have a healthy body that is why she decided to
do daily jogging exercise. On her first day of exercise, she travelled
at speed of 10km/hr. and tenth day 15 km/hr. How far did she
travel for 5 hours?
Distance = S X T 9. FIRST DAY 10. TENTH DAY
D= 10 km/h X 5 hrs D= 15 km/h X 5 hrs
= ________km = _________km
