PHYSICS
What is Physics?
'Physics' comes from the Greek 'knowledge of
nature,' and in general, the field aims to
analyze and understand the natural
phenomena of the universe.
The study of matter and energy, is an ancient
and broad field of science.

 REVIEW
Hold a pen and move it towards left
and right.
Is the pen in motion?
Why did you say so?

Watch a video clips on describing

motion
 MOTIVATION
Consider your rooms position. Ask the students
on what can be found on the:
1. North
2. East
3. South
4. West
Motion is a change in
position.
Reference Point - something
that is stationary. It is fixed.You
can determine whether an
object moves by comparing its
position to that of a fixed point.
ACTIVITY 1
 PART A
1. Obtain from your teacher the piece of paper
that describes where you will find the object.
2. Put back the object to its place, if you found it.
Otherwise, ask your teacher first where it is located
before you move on to the next step.
3. Revise the instruction to make it more helpful.
Write it on a separate sheet of paper and let
another group use it to find the object.
PART B
The positions of the objects are
described in the diagram by
their coordinates along the
number line.
PART B
PART B
The positions of the ball rolling
are shown at equal intervals of
time. You can use the diagram
to describe the position of the
ball at any given time.
PART B
 PART C
Convert the diagram in Figure 2 to
graph.

Fill up table 1 using the data in

figure 2. Note that the positions of
the ball is shown every 5 seconds.
 POSITION OF THE BALL

 PART C
Plot the values in table 1 as points
on the graph in figure 3. Note that
time is plotted on the X-axis while
position is plotted on the Y-axis.
PART C
 PART C
Lastly, draw a straight diagonal line
through the positions in the graph.
The graph that you have just drawn
in Figure 3 is called the position-time
graph.

 ASSIGNMENT
While you are answering this
question are you in motion?
Explain why.
1.What is motion?
2.When do we say that the
object is in motion or not in
motion?
Ask a student to describe his or her
way from home to school. Remind
students to give approximate distance
and direction.

1.How far is the school from your home?

2.Is there other way you can use to get
to the school? Is it nearer or farther?
Ask volunteers from students to walk on with
the following distances and specific
directions:
1. 5m , North
2. 3m, East
3. 4m , West
4. 5m, South
ACTIVITY 2
1.How many paths are traveled by the
dog? What is the length of each path?
2.What is the total length of the path
traveled by the dog?
3.What is the length and direction of
each path?
4.What is the distance between the
initial position and final position of the
dog?
1.How many paths are traveled by the
dog? What is the length of each path?
Three paths
The dog ran 10m to the east, then 5m to
the south, and another 10m to the west.
2.What is the total length of the path
traveled by the dog?
The total length of the path is 25 meters.
3.What is the length and direction of each
path?

5.Is it possible for displacement to be

greater than distance? Explain why?
No, it can be shorter but it cannot be greater
than the distance.
6.Referring to figure 6, what if the
ball, the car and the dog go back to

their displacement?
Their total distances will increase two times but
their displacements will become zero.
7.When can displacement be equal to zero?
If they go back to their starting
positions.
8.Which quantity is specified by magnitude only,
distance or displacement? DISTANCE
9.Which quantity is specified by both magnitude and

DISPLACEMENT
1.What is distance?
2.What is displacement?
3.Differentiate distance from
displacement.
It does not always follow a straight
line.
Measures the length of the path
travelled by the object.
Always follows a straight line.
Measures the length of the straight line that
connects the objects point of origin and its point
of destination.
Displacement be equal to distance when the
path travelled is a straight line .
Displacement is the shortest length between the
objects point of origin and its point of destination.
Now that you have the idea about
distance and displacement. Give
real life situations showing the
difference between distance and
displacement.
Anna will go to church to attend the mass. She
needs to follow the map shown below.

1.What is the total distance that she will travel to

reach the church?
2.If Anna will go home after the mass, what will
be her total distance travelled?
3.What is her net displacement upon reaching
her house?
Trace your way from
home to school.
