Lesson
Motion in One Dimension
1
Matter in the universe is either at rest or in motion. Motion occurs when an
object changes its position relative to a reference point. The motion of an object
depends on the reference point that is chosen. It is taken into consideration to
1 DO_Q3_SCIENCE_7_Lesson1
determine if there is motion and the Earth’s surface is used as a common reference
point.
One of the characteristics of living things is movement, so they have the
inherent capacity to move. How about non-living things? Non-living things do not
move but they can be made to move by applying force.
What’s New
Speed can be measured using different devices. These instruments vary with
the job. There are devices for measuring traveling speed, wind speed, acceleration or
engine speed. Police use RADAR and LIDAR to measure traffic speed while
speedometers measure the speed of a car. Accelerometers are also used with car
speed measurements. To know how these instruments function, this module will aid
your understanding in the basic concepts of motion.
What is It
Speed and direction are two important quantities in describing the velocity of
a moving object. Velocity is speed in a specific direction. A change in velocity may
result from either a change in speed, direction, or both. Velocity is considered as a
vector quantity since it is described by its size and direction. Speed, on the other
hand, is a scalar quantity described by its size alone and not with the direction it
moves.
When a moving object changes speed or direction, it accelerates. Acceleration
is the rate at which velocity changes. It may refer to an object speeding up, slowing
down, or changing direction as it moves. Acceleration is a measure of how quickly
the velocity of an object is changing. If the object increases velocity, acceleration is
positive; if the velocity decreases, acceleration is negative; and if the velocity does not
change, it is called uniform velocity, and the acceleration is zero.

Lesson
Acceleration of Moving Objects
2
Have you gone to amusement parks and rode on a roller coaster? If a roller
coaster is moving, does velocity is change all the time? All moving objects change
their velocity. Velocity refers to speed with direction. It is also defined as a vector
measurement of the rate and direction of motion. We can relate acceleration here
and it is another vector quantity. Acceleration is called the rate of change of velocity
of an object.
Examples of acceleration are a volleyball hit by player and a bicycle that starts to
move.
Mathematically, ▲v vf - vi
a= t = t
wherein:
a = acceleration v= velocity
t= time vf= final velocity
vi= initial velocity
6 DO_Q3_SCIENCE_7_Lesson2
From the equation above, the SI unit of acceleration is
a= m/s = m/s²
s
Other units of acceleration are ft/s², km/h², and mi/h².
Sample problem:
An electric bicycle starts from rest and attains the speed of 20 m/s in 10
seconds. How far has the electric bicycle traveled in 10 seconds?
Given: vi = 0
vf = 20 m/s
t = 10 s
What is asked:
d = distance
Solution: d = v * t
Wherein: d = distance
v = velocity
t = time
Formula will be derived,
d= vi + vf t= 0 + 20 m/s (15 s)

What are waves? How waves carry energy? Try to wave and observe the motion
of your hand. Do you make a side-to-side motion with the palm of your hand? Do
you do an up-and-down motion with your hand? Describe your personal hand wave.
The repetitive motion that you do with your hand while waving is called a
vibration. A vibration causes wave.
What is It
A wave is a periodic disturbance that moves away from a source and carries
energy. For example, earthquake waves show us that the amount of energy carried
by a wave can do work on objects by exerting force that move objects from their
original position.
Two Classifications of Wave according to medium:
a. Mechanical Wave are waves that require a material medium to
propagate such as, sound, water, earthquake and waves in a stretched
string.
b. Electromagnetic Wave are waves that do not require material or
medium to propagate. Example of this is the Electromagnetic (EM)

The scope of this module explains the properties of light wave. The occurrence of
light has been first studied by scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton and Christian
Huygens. Sir Isaac Newton concluded that light is a form of particle whereas
Christian Huygens deducted it as a form of a wave. These two knowledge about the
nature of light was then combined by Max Planck with his proposed idea that light
can be a particle and can also be a wave known as the Dual-Nature of Light. Further
study has been conducted in the nature of light until James Clerk Maxwell found
out that light is an electromagnetic wave. This led him to propose the Electromagnetic

Where can we find the visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum? What are
the frequencies, wavelengths, and energies of each color in this region of
electromagnetic spectrum?
23 DO_Q3_SCIENCE_7_Lesson5
What is It
Visible light is found at the center part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This
is the region of electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen by our naked eye as white
light. Sir Isaac Newton used a prism to show that white light consists of different
colors. The separation of white light into its color components is known as
dispersion.
The energy carried by the electromagnetic wave per unit time and per unit
area is referred to as intensity. Intensity is proportional to the amplitudes of the
electric and magnetic fields combined. The intensity of visible light is perceived as
brightness. It decreases with increasing distance from the light source.
Are you familiar with the acronym ROYGBV? It stands for Red, Orange,
Yellow, Green, Blue, and Violet. It also represents the arrangement of visible light
according to frequency and wavelength. The speed of light in a vacuum has a
constant value of 3 × 108 𝑚/𝑠 2 .

In your earlier grades, you learned that heat moves from the source to other
objects or places. An example is a kettle with water placed on top of a burning stove.
The water gets hot because heat from the burning stove is transferred to it. Heat
energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules, or ions
in solids, liquids, and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to
another. The transfer due to the difference in temperature between the two objects
is called heat.

Lesson
Ways of Transferring Heat
6
All matter is made up of molecules and atoms. These atoms are always in
different types of motion (translation, rotational, vibrational). The motion of atoms
and molecules creates heat or thermal energy. All matter has thermal energy. The
more motion the atoms or molecules have, the more heat or thermal energy they will
have.
Energy, once released as heat, results in a decrease in the overall internal
energy of the object. Since kinetic energy is one of the forms of internal energy, the
release of heat from an object causes a decrease in the average kinetic energy of its
particles.
What’s New
Have you ever wondered how a hot coffee makes the cup itself hot? Why the
hood of the car is hot too when the engine is turned on? Why the heat from the sand
is conducted to your feet when you walk barefoot during summer? These phenomena
have something to do with heat transfer. This module aims to reinforce your
understanding of how heat is transferred in different ways.
28 DO_Q3_SCIENCE_7_Lesson6
What is It
How is heat transferred? Heat can travel from one place to another in three
ways: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. Both conduction and convection
require matter to transfer heat. If there is a temperature difference between two
systems, heat will always find a way to transfer from higher to lower system.
Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct
contact with each other. The better the conductor, the more rapidly heat will be
transferred. Metal is a good conductor of heat. It occurs when a substance is heated,
particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more.
Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection.
It occurs when warmer areas of a liquid or gas rise to cooler areas in the liquid or
gas.
Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact
between the heat source and the heated object. As it is also the case for conduction
and convection. Heat can be transmitted through space by thermal radiation often
called infrared radiation.

What I Can Do
Directions: Read the following paragraph then answer the question below.
Energy is all around us and comes from many sources. One of the most
important sources of energy is the sun. The energy of the sun is the source of most
of the energy found on Earth. Heat energy from the sun is transmitted to Earth
through radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the Earth
from the sun is invisible. Only a small portion comes as visible light.
Guide Question:
1. Give two examples of how you can make good use of heat energy coming from
the sun.

Why do like charges repel and unlike charges attract? What are inside an
atom? How do charges transfer from one material to another?
What is It
31 DO_Q3_SCIENCE_7_Lesson7
Materials which are made up of atoms are naturally neutral or has no charge
since the number of protons (positively
charged) and electrons (negatively charged)
are equal. But when materials gained or lose
electrons, it will eventually become negatively
or positively charged.

32 DO_Q3_SCIENCE_7_Lesson7
Picture 1 on Figure 7.3 shows a balloon and a wool cloth with a neutral or no
charge. After rubbing, the balloon gained more electron and became negatively
charged, while the wool cloth lost electron and became positively charged. The
wool cloth has the greater tendency to lose electron since it is in higher position
in triboelectric series. Balloon is made of rubber and located in the lower portion
of the series; hence it has greater tendency to accept electrons and become
negatively charged. The higher the position in the triboelectric series the more
positive it will be after charging.
