Flyndon Mark Dagalea: Lecturer, College of Science-UEP

Physics is the study of matter, energy, and their interactions. It includes the study of motion, forces, energy and its transformations. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass, including living and non-living things. Energy is defined as the capacity to do work and determines how much work can be accomplished. Physical quantities can be scalar, having only magnitude, or vector, having both magnitude and direction. Motion can be rectilinear, moving in a straight line, or circular, moving in a circular path. Speed measures how fast an object moves while velocity includes both speed and direction of motion. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time and momentum depends on an object's mass and velocity.

Lecturer, College of Science-UEP


PHYSICS
• Greek word which means “nature” or “natural philosophy”

• It is an accepted scientific way of explaining natural phenomena

• Is the study of the properties, transformations and interactions


in terms of force of matter

• It includes the study of energy and its transformation.


MATTER
• Anything that occupies space and has mass.
• It includes the non-living and living things.

ENERGY
• Is defined as the capacity to do work
• It determines how much work can be accomplished.
• If there are more energy, there are more work to be done.
PHYSICAL QUANTITIES
• Scalar quantity
• Vector quantity

Scalar quantity
• Quantity which possesses only magnitude
examples: age, mass, speed, distance
Vector quantity
• Quantity which possesses magnitude & direction
examples: weight, velocity, displacement
MOTION
an object is in motion if either it is becoming farther away
from the observer, or it is becoming closer to the observer.

Kinematics is a branch of mechanics which describes


motion without including in the description the cause of
the motion.
TYPES OF MOTION
Rectilinear motion or linear motion is the motion in a
straight line.

Circular motion is the motion in circular path.


SPEED
Measurement on how fast an object is moving.
𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 (𝑚)
𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑠 =
𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 (𝑠)

Example:
What should be your average speed if you travel from Catarman
to Makiwalo with a distance of 3500 m and in 10 mins?
VELOCITY
Instead of speed, the rate of motion of an object is described
in terms of its velocity, if the motion has definite direction, or if
path traversed is straight.
𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 (𝑥)
𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑉 =
𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 (𝑠)

Example:
How long it will take to travel from town A to B having a distance of 50 km
if your average velocity is 40 kph?
Rectilinear motion

ACCELERATION
The change in velocity.
𝑉𝑓 − 𝑉𝑖 𝑚
𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 =
𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 (𝑠𝑒𝑐) 𝑠2
Example:
A car started from rest travels 80 km in 1hr. Find its acceleration.
MOMENTUM
When the velocity of an object is affected by its mass.

𝑀𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑢𝑚 = 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 × 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑚2


𝑠
Example:
A car started from rest travels 80 km in 1hr. Find its acceleration.
