Title: Graphing Motion
MELC with code: S7FEIIIb-3
Background Information
Motion is everywhere. We can see movements every day. Such as trees sway, water flows, dogs run,
birds fly, people walk and children play. Before we go through the lesson, let us answer the pre-test.

Discussion:
Motion is defined as a change in position with respect to a reference point.
For example you are inside a moving jeepney, you see different view outside, you can say that you are
moving. If the reference point is the view outside, you are moving. But if the reference point is the
jeepney, you are not moving.
Motion can be described in different ways. We can describe by using diagrams and graphs. We can also
describe it by means of distance or displacement, speed or veloc-ity and acceleration.
In using diagram, the position of the objects are described by their coordinates along the number line.
For example, you see in the drawing that the tree is located at 5 meters, therefore, the position of the
tree is 5 meters.
Graph is use to represent different speed. Through graph we can identify the speed of each runner.
Distance refers to the length of the entire path that the object travelled.
Examples : 5 meters, 10 meters, 15 meters, 5 kilometers, 10 kilometers,
Displacement refers to the shortest distance between the positions of the ob-ject. It is the straight line
distance from the starting point to the end point.
Examples: 5 meters, 6 meters, 7 meters, 8 meters
Look at the diagram in order to distinguish which is distance and which is displacement.
Speed is the distance an object travels per unit of time. It is equals to distance
divided by time.
Meter per second (m/s) and kilometer per hour (km/h) are the units used for
measuring speed.
To calculate the speed, substitute the given data from the problem and use the
formula: s = d/t
SAMPLE PROBLEMS:
1. If a runner registered a time of 20 seconds to cover the 100 meters distance, what is his speed?
Given: d = 100 m t = 20 s s = ?
Formula: s = d/t
Solution: s = 100 m/ 20 s
Final Answer: s = 5 m/s
2. A boat travels 24 kilometers in 2 hours. What is the average speed of a boat ?
Given: d = 24km t = 2h s = ?
Formula: s = d/t
Solution : s = 24 km/ 2 h
Final Answer: s = 12 km/h
Velocity is the speed of a moving object in particular direction.
Examples : 40 km/h, North; 50 km/ h, South; 60 km/ h, West; 80 km/ h, East
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. We can say that an object is accelerat-ing when its speed
up changes direction or slows down.
Examples:
The bus travels with a velocity of 50 km / h, North then change into 60 km / h, North.
The jeepney travels with a velocity of 40 km / h, South then change into 40 km /h , East.
The tricycle travels with a velocity of 40 km / h, North then change into 35 km / h , North.
