CONTENT STANDARD
The learners demonstrate an
understanding of motion in one
dimension.
PERFORMANCE STANDARD
Conduct a forum on mitigation
and disaster risk reduction.

What is energy?
the capacity
for doing
work.

What is motion?
A continuous
change in position
with respect to a
reference point for a
particular time
interval.

All Motion is relative
•All motion is relative to a
reference.
•This means that we
describe motion of an
object relative to some
other object

A reference point is a
place or object used for
comparison to determine
if something is in motion.

All Motion is relative
• In our environment, the reference for motion
is the earth’s surface, and speeds are
measured relative to the earth
• The earth moves at 107,000 km/h relative to
the sun

DISTANCE
AND
DISPLACEMENT
LESSON 1

Objectives:
1.Differentiate distance from
displacement; and
2.Compute for the distance and
displacement of a given problem.

IS DISTANCE AND
DISPLACEMENT THE
SAME?

Comparison:
distance
• Refers to the length of the
entire path the object
travelled.
displacement
• Refers to the shortest
distance between the object’s
two positions, like the
distance between its point of
origin and its point of
destination, no matter what
path it took to get to that
destination.

Do you have a sense of direction?

Let’s have an example:
In this
example, the
dog ran 10 m
to the east,
then 5m to the
South and
another 10 m
to the west.

How far did the dog travel ?
Step 1. Find the given
Given: 10 m East
5 m South
10 mWest
Step 2. What is Asked?
Total Distance=?
Displacement=?
Step 3. What is the Formula
Distance = 𝑑1 + 𝑑2 + 𝑑3
Displacement = 𝑑1 + 𝑑2 + 𝑑3
Step 4. Write your Solution
Distance= 10m + 5m + 10m
= 25 meters is the total distance
covered by the dog

What is the dog’s displacement?
Displacement= 5 m – 0 m
= 5 meters
We can also follow this format:
Displacement= 10m + (– 5m )+(– 10 m)
=5 meters +(-10m)
= - 5 meters
= 5 meters to the south is the displacement of the dog.

took the same round trip, but Mr
Rabbit slept & returned later.

Who is right?
Me, as I spent
less time on the
trip.
No, I travelled
more distance every
second I ran.
Who runs faster?

Speed
How can we describe how fast an object
moves?
E.g. A car travels 90 km in 1 hour.
We say that the car travels at a speed
of 90 km/hr.

Speed
Speed is a measure of how fast something
moves.
Speed = distance travelled per unit of time
SI unit: m/s or km/h (for long distances)

Sub-objectives
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
• Identify if an object is in motion or not; and
• Classify if the given quantity is scalar or vector.

MOTION
• An object is in motion if its distance from another
object is changing.
• Reference Point is a place or object used for
comparison to determine if something is in motion.
• In other words…. An object is in motion when it
changes position relative to a REFERENCE POINT.

Types of quantities
The magnitude of a quantity tells how large the quantity is.
There are two types of quantities:
1. Scalar quantities – have magnitude only.(Distance and
speed)
2. Vector Quantities- have both magnitude and
direction.(Displacement and velocity, acceleration)

S7FE-IIIb-3
OBJECTIVE

Supposed you were having your on-the-job training in a private
investigating company. You were asked to join a team assigned to
investigate a “hit and run” case. The alleged suspect was captured by
the CCTV camera driving down a road leading to the place of incident.
The suspect denied the allegation, saying that he was then driving very
slowly with a constant speed. Because of the short time difference
when he was caught by the camera and when the accident happened,
he insisted that it was impossible that he would already be at the place
when the crime happened. But when you were viewing the scene again
on the camera, you noticed that his car was leaving oil spots on the
road. When you checked these spots on site, you fond out that they are
still evident. So you began to wonder if the spots can be used to
investigate the motion of the car of the suspect and check whether he
was telling the truth or not.
ACTIVITY 3.3
DOING DETECTIVE WORK

Materials Needed:
•Ruler
•Paper strips with dots
•Cutter or pair of
scissors

4. Cut the strips at each drop starting
from the first to the last drop, and
paste them side by side on a graph
paper to form a tape chart as shown
in figure 12.
Q25. How do the lengths of the tapes
compare?
Q26. if each tape represents the
distance travelled by the object for 1
second, then what “quantity” does
each piece of tape provide?
Q27. What does the chart tell you
about the speed of the car?

Q30. How does
your distance-
time graph
look like?

7. Join the mid-point of the tops of the tapes
with a line.You have now converted your
tape chart to a speed-time graph.
Q31. How does your graph look like? How is
this different from your graph in Figure 13?
Q32. How will you interpret this graph in
terms of the speed and acceleration of the
moving car?
Q33. If you found out in your investigation
that the arrangement of oil drops left by the
car is similar to what you used in this activity,
was the suspect telling the truth when he said
that he was driving with constant speed?

produced; and
2.Identify factors that affect
the pitch and loudness of
the sound produced.

QUESTIONS:
Q1. What physical signs did you observe when you
plucked each rubber band? Did you hear any
sound? What produced the sound?
Q2. How different are the sound produced by each
rubber band with different thickness?
Q3. Are there changes in the note when you
plucked the stretched band?
Q4. Arrange the rubber bands in sequence from the
highest note to the lowest note produced.

Where does speed travels faster?
Sound travels faster
in solid
Sound travels better
in liquids.
Sound travels
slowest in gases.

• Sound
travels
through
water.

How sounds are made…
 Sound is produced when matter vibrates.
 As an object vibrates, it gives energy to the
particles of matter around it.
 Sound is a longitudinal wave.
 It moves with a series of compression and
rarefactions.

Anything that vibrates produces sound.
When you speak, your vocal cords vibrate.
Particles of air simply move back and forth.
A radio would NOT work in outer space because there is
not any medium for sound to travel through.
“If a tree falls in the forest and no one is present to hear
it, is there a sound?”

FACTORS
AFFECTIN
G THE
SPEED OF
SOUND
• 1. Atmospheric pressure
• -There are more molecular
interactions that happen in hot air.
This is because the hot particles of
air gain more kinetic energy and so
there is also an increase in the mean
velocity of the molecules. Since
sound is a consequence of energy
transfer through collisions and faster
collisions mean faster sound.

Explain sound production in
the human voice box, and
how pitch, loudness, and
quality of sound vary from
one person to another;
S7LT-IIIe-8
OBJECTIVE

Activity 2
Properties and
Characteristics of
Sound

1. Loudness
• physiological sensation from a sound
that varies from one person to another.
• It depends on a person’s sense of
hearing, his or her distance from the
source and the material through which
the sound travels.

Loudness
Chart
Loudness
is related
to the
amount of
energy
carried by
a wave.

2. Intensity
• depends on the displacement of the sound
waves.
• It is measured in terms of the amount of energy
per second, that is, the power delivered per
unit area of a surface. (W/𝑚2
)

3. Quality/Timbre- the
distinct characteristics of
sound that enables you to
identify the source of the
sound.

4. Pitch- refers to the highness or lowness of
a tone. It is related to frequency. Higher
frequency sounds such as those from violins
and piccolos produce a high pitch, while
lower frequency sounds such as those from
drums or strings bass produce a low pitch.

High Pitch Low Pitch
High Amplitude
High Intensity
Shorter Wavelength
Low Amplitude
Low Intensity
Longer Wavelength

Doppler
Effect
• Police car speeding by:
– Higher pitch as approached, lower
pitch as moving away.
• Change in pitch is referred to as
the Doppler effect.
– Occurs whenever there is motion
between the source of a sound and
its receiver.
– Source or receiver must be in
motion.

Doppler
Effect
• Police car moving towards you, pushing waves
together causing:
– Shorter wavelengths, higher freq., higher pitch.
• Police car moving away from you, spreading waves
out:
– Longer wavelengths, lower freq., lower pitch

Describe how organisms
produce, transmit, and receive
sound of various frequencies
(infrasonic, audible, and
ultrasonic sound);
S7LT-IIIe-9
OBJECTIVE

For Sound
to be
heard…
• You need 3 things:
– 1. a source that produces the sound
– 2. a medium to transmit the sound
– 3. an organ of the body that detects
the sound
• Sound enters the outer ear,
vibrates eardrum, enters middle
ear and vibrates liquid-filled inner
ear.

Outer Ear
• The outer ear acts as funnel for the waves.
• The waves travel through the ear canal and hit
the lightly stretched membrane called the
eardrum causing it to vibrate.
• The vibrations then
enter the middle ear.

Middle Ear • The middle ear contains the 3
smallest bones in the body.
– hammer, anvil, stirrup
• The vibrations travel
through the 3 bones
and are transmitted to
a liquid-filled inner ear.

Inner Ear
• The inner ear contains the
cochlea.
• Cochlea is snail shaped
– Contains liquid and hundreds of
cell attached to nerve fibers
– The nerve fibers form one
larger nerve that travels to the
brain where they are
interpreted as sound

1. Ultrasonic Frequencies
• These are vibrational
frequencies beyond 20,000
Hz.
Example:
– Dogs can hear sounds as high as 50
000 Hz
– Bats can detect sound as high as 100
000 Hz.
– We can see images of your baby
brother or sister when the OB-gyne
asks your mother or nanay to undergo
ultrasound imaging.

2. Audible
Sound-
•These are
frequencies
ranging from 20
Hz to 20,000 Hz.

3.Infrasonic
Frequencies
•These are low
frequencies
below 20 Hz.

What is the difference of Luminous
and Non-luminous?
A luminous object is one
that produces light.
A non-luminous object is
one that reflects light.

Nature of Light
1) Light travels in straight lines
2) Light travels much faster than sound
3) We see things because they reflect light into our
eyes
4) Shadows are formed when light is blocked by an
object

• Light travels in straight lines:
Laser

• Light travelsVERY FAST – around 300 000 km/s or
300 000 000 m/s or 3 𝑥 108
𝑚/𝑠.
At this speed it can
go around the world
8 times in one
second.

• Light travels much faster than sound. For example:
1) Thunder and lightning
start at the same time,
but we will see the
lightning first.
2) When a starting pistol
is fired we see the
smoke first and then
hear the bang.

• We see things because they reflect light into our
eyes:
Homework

• Shadows
Shadows are places where light is “blocked”:
Rays of light

Colour
• White light is not a single colour; it is made up of a
mixture of the seven colours of the rainbow.
We can demonstrate this by
splitting white light with a
prism:
This is how rainbows are
formed: sunlight is “split up”
by raindrops.

The colours of the rainbow:
• Red
• Orange
• Yellow
• Green
• Blue
• Indigo
• Violet

Adding colours
• White light can be split up to make separate colours.
These colours can be added together again.
• The primary colours of light are red, blue and green:
Adding blue and red
makes magenta
(purple)
Adding blue and
green makes cyan
(light blue)
Adding all
three makes
white again
Adding red
and green
makes yellow

Seeing colour
• The colour an object appears depends on the colours of
light it reflects.
For example, a red book only reflects red light:
White
light
Only red light
is reflected

A white hat would reflect all seven colours:
A pair of purple trousers would reflect purple light
(and red and blue, as purple is made up of red and blue):
Purple light
White
light

Using coloured light
• If we look at a coloured object in coloured light
we see something different. For example,
consider a football kit:
White
light
Shorts look blue
Shirt looks red

Any object is said to possess thermal energy due
to its particles whether at rest or in motion.
Thermal Energy

 Heat is an energy that is transferred from
one object to another object due to the
difference in their temperature. It is simply
called as ‘energy in transit’.
 Heat transfer is related to change in
temperature.
Heat

How is heat related to thermal energy?
 Thermal energy refers to the energy
contained within a system that is
responsible for its temperature.
 Heat is the flow of thermal energy.
When energy is transformed, such as
thermal energy, heat is always produced.

 Temperature refers to the
relative hotness or
coldness of an object.
 Instrument used for
measuring and indicating
temperature is called
‘thermometer’.
Temperature

Conduction
takes place between
objects that are in
direct contact with
each other.
Conduction

•Copper
•Iron
•Aluminum
•Steel
•Silver
•Brass
•Lead
Materials that conduct heat well are called
thermal conductors (good conductors)
Example:

•Wood
•Rubber
•Plastic
•Glass
•paper
Whereas materials that conduct heat poorly are
known as thermal insulators (poor conductors)
Examples:

Convection is
the process in which
heat is carried from
place to place by
the bulk movement
of a fluid against its
surroundings.
Convection

Radiation is a method
of heat transfer in the
absence of matter or
through space.
Radiation
