MOTION

The document discusses motion and how to quantify and measure speed. It provides examples of calculating speed using the formula speed = distance/time. It discusses the units used to measure distance, time, and speed in both the English and metric systems. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating speed when given distance and time, and calculating time or distance when given the other variables and the speed. The key information is that motion is the change in an object's position over time, speed can be calculated using distance and time, and examples are provided to practice these calculations in different scenarios.

Motion Quantified

In physics, the motion is the


change in position of an object with
respect to its surroundings in a
given interval of time.
MEASURING SPEED
 
The motion of a moving object is determined by its
speed. Speed is the measure of the distance covered
over a period of time. Speed is often expressed in terms
of kilometers per hour or meters per second.
There are two system of measurement that can be
used to measure speed – the English system and the
metric system.
Quantity Common

Units Units
Distance or Inch (in) Kilometer (km)
length Foot (ft) Meter (m)

SPEED
 
Example 1:
Alden covers a distance of 40 m with his
bike. If it took him 10 min. to bike the
distance, what is the speed of the bike?
 
 

Example 1:
 

Alden covers a distance of 40 m with his bike. If it took


him 10 min. to bike the distance, what is the speed of the
bike?
 
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA:
40 m = distance Speed = ? s=d/t
10 min = time
 
Solution:

d 40 m
S= = = 4m / min
t 10 min
 
the speed of the bike is 4m / min.
 
The unit for speed depends on the units
of distance and time. If the distance is
measured in kilometers, and time is
measured in hours, then the unit for speed
becomes kilometers per hour.
 
Example:
Alden covers a distance of 40 km with his
bike. If it took him 10 h to bike the distance,
what is the speed of the bike?
 
 

Example 1:
 

Alden covers a distance of 40 km with his bike. If it took


him 10 h. to bike the distance, what is the speed of the
bike?
 
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA:
40 km = distance Speed = ? s=d/t
10 h = time
 
Solution:

d 40 km
S= = = 4 km/hr
t 10 hr
 
the speed of the bike is 4 km/hr
 
TIME
 
Example 2:
Vilma walks at a speed of 5 km/hr. How
much time does he take to walk a distance
of 15 km? 
 

Example 1:
 

Vilma walks at a speed of 5 kmph. How much time


does he take to walk a distance of 15 km?  

GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA:


15km = distance time = ? t=d/s
5 km/hr = speed
 
Solution:

d 15 km
t= = = 3 hr
d 5 km/hr
 
the time that he take is 3 hr
 
DISTANCE
 
Example 2:
Maria left home and traveled toward the
capital at an average speed of 80 km/hr. If
she reached her destination in 3hr. What
was the distance she traveled.
 

Example 1:
 

Maria left home and traveled toward the capital at an


average speed of 80 kmph. If she reached her
destination in 3h. What was the distance she traveled.  
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA:
80 km/hr = speed Distance = ? d=sxt
3 hr = time
 
Solution:

d=sxt
d = 80km/hr x 3hr
d= 240km

the distance that she traveled is 240 km


 
Word Problem:

Anna covers a distance of 20km


everyday by using her scooter. If it took her
2h to reach the distance, what is the speed
of the scooter?
 
 

Example 1:
 

Anna covers a distance of 20km everyday by using her


scooter. If it took her 2hr to reach the distance, what is the
speed of the scooter?
 
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA:
20 km = distance Speed = ? s=d/t
2 hr = time
 
Solution:

d 20 km
S= = = 10 km/hr
t 2 hr
 
the speed of the scooter is 10 km/hr
