2. MOTION
An object is said to move in an ever-
changing position of a particular
reference.
3. DISTANCE AND DISPLACEMENT
DISTANCE DISPLACEMENT
Distance is the path Displacement is the
length traveled by an change in position from
object within a certain the position in terms of
time interval. initial and final position.
Distance is a scalar Displacement is a
quantity. vector quantity.
∆X = X2 – X1
4. EXERCISE
An object move from A, to B, to C, and come back to B like the
picture below.
a. Calculate the distance!
b. Calculate the displacement!
A 4 B 6 C
Answer:
a. Distance b. displacement
d = AB + BC + CB x = AB + BC - CB
=4+6+6 =4+6-6
= 16 =4
5. AVERAGE SPEED AND AVERAGE VELOCITY
Average speed Average velocity
Average speed of (v) is The average velocity
the quotient between (v) is the quotient
the distance (d) of the between the
time interval (Δt). displacement (Δx) and
time interval (Δt)
Speed is a scalar Velocity is a vector
quantity. quantity.
6. ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION
Acceleration or deceleration is defined
as the average ratio of change in
velocity ∆v = v2-v1 at intervals ∆t = t2-t1
7. UNIFORMLY STRAIGHT MOTION
Uniformly straight motion (GLB) is the motion of an
object in a straight line with a fixed pace. Therefore
fixed speed, then the average velocity and
instantaneous velocity is always the same.
so:
8. UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION
Uniformly accelerated motion (GLBB) is defined as
the motion of an object on a straight-line trajectory
with constant acceleration.
so :
The distance traveled by the particle is uniformly
accelerated motion is formulated to do:
