➢ Kinematics is the study of motion. A domain of physics that deals with the motion of a
body or system without reference to force and mass. Kinetics is the description of motion
without regard to what causes it.
➢ Dynamics is the science to understand why and how objects accelerate. The study of
the relationship between forces (causes of motion) and motion.
Motion is defined as the movement of an object brought about by force that acted on the object. It
is exhibited by a change in position.
➢ Speed refers to how fast a body is moving and is defined as the distance covered per unit of
time of travel.
➢ Velocity An object is said to be moving when its position changes with time. The rate at
which the position of a moving object changes with time. It is a vector quantity whose
magnitude is speed, v; its direction is the direction in which the object is moving.

YOU TRY THIS TIME! (Note: the answer to this will be posted in FBgrp)
A motorcycle starts from rest on a straight road and reaches a speed of 25.0 m/s in 3.5 seconds
(a) what is the average speed of the motorcycle? (b) What distance did it cover?
Data: Solution
ACCELERATION
Few objects move with constant velocity for any period. For example, as you drive from one
place to another in your car, your instantaneous velocity normally changes as you travel. Your
instantaneous velocity increases when you step on the gas pedal, and it decreases when you step on
the brakes. The velocity of the object changes only when it interacts somehow with something else.
Acceleration is the rate at which its velocity changes with time.
➢ The symbol of acceleration is a (it is a vector quantity).
➢ For the case of motion in a straight line, the direction of an object’s velocity and the
direction of its acceleration are related as follows:
❖ If the object’s velocity and acceleration are in the same direction, the object’s
velocity increases with time. Its acceleration is positive, and the object speeds
up in the direction of motion.
❖ When the object’s velocity and acceleration are in the opposite directions, the
object’s velocity decreases with time. Its acceleration is negative, and the
object slows down. Decreases in velocities are called decelerations.
➢ The average acceleration of an object is the change in its velocity divided by the elapsed
time.
𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒗𝒇 −𝒗𝒊
Average acceleration: 𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒑𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒂= 𝒕
➢ The most common unit of acceleration in the SI system is the meter per second, which
𝑚2
is usually written as 𝑠
. This unit is obtained as follows:
𝒎 𝒎
𝒔 𝒔 𝒎𝟐
Unit of a = 𝒔
= 𝒔 = 𝒔
𝒍
➢ In situation in which the acceleration of an object is constant. In this type of motion,
the object’s velocity changes uniformly, and the object is said to have uniform
acceleration. In this case, the velocity of the object is changing at a constant rate – that
is, equal changes in velocity occur in equal time interval.
Remember:
Acceleration – how fast you speed up, slow down, or change direction; it’s the rate at
which velocity changes.
EXAMPLE 1. Lisa’s car is moving at 20m/s and started to speed at 30 m/s in 2.2 seconds. a. What is
its acceleration? b. What if after 3 seconds it decelerates at 12 m/s, will its velocity remains the same?
Data: a. vi=20 m/s vf=30 m/s t=2.2 s
b. vi=30 m/s vf=12 m/s t=3.0 s
𝑣𝑓−𝑣𝑖
Solution: (a) 𝑎 = 𝑡
=30 m/s – 20 m/s = 12 m/s – 30 m/s
2.2 S 3.0 s
=4.5455 m/s2 =-6.0 m/s2
EXAMPLE 2. A car initially travelling along a straight stretch of highway at 15 m/s accelerates with
a constant acceleration of 2.0m/s2 to pass a truck. What is the velocity of the car after 5.0 s?

more and accelerate more, if a stronger force is applied.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
A ball at rest once kicked will move into the
air and will slows and eventually comes to a stop
once it hit by a force, this is because a force
acting on the ball upon hitting the ground or
barrier- sure enough- there is a frictional force.
That frictional force is in the direction that is
opposite the movement of the ball. It's this force
which causes the object to slow to a stop.
If you throw a ball off a balcony at a
horizontal speed of 3 meters per second, it will
hit the ground with a horizontal speed of 3 m/s
(ignoring the force of air resistance), even
though gravity exerted a force (and therefore
acceleration) in the vertical direction. If it
weren't for gravity, the ball would have kept going
in a straight line until it hits the ground.

E0431440FB594957C138045CCB0BC6F6&thid=OIP Note: A body that is acted on by no net force moves
at a constant velocity (which may be zero) and zero
acceleration.
Second Law of Motion defines the relationship between acceleration, force, and mass. The
acceleration produced by a particular force acting on a body is directly proportional to the magnitude
of the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.
The mathematical equation of the second law shows that F representing the
force, m representing the object's mass is equal to a representing the object's acceleration.
The sigma symbol to the left of the force indicates that it is the net force, or the sum of all the
forces. As vector quantities, the direction of the net force will also be in the same direction as the
acceleration
F = ma F/m =a a=F/m
=20N/40 kg = 0.5 m/s2

Third Law of Motion states that any time a force acts from one object to another, there is an
equal force acting back on the original object. If you pull on a rope, therefore, the rope is pulling back
on you as well. To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction; or, the mutual actions of
two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.
It can be represented by A and B, that are interacting. We define FA as the force applied to body
A by body B, and FA as the force applied to body B by body A. These forces will be equal in magnitude
and opposite in direction. In mathematical terms, it is expressed as:
FB = - FA or FA + FB = 0
It can be shown also, when you apply a force to an empty box sitting on the table, the box applies an
equal force back on you. Remember that according to the Second Law, force and
acceleration are related but they aren't identical! Because your mass is much larger
than the mass of the shoebox, the force you exert causes it to accelerate
away from you.
If, however, the box is sitting next to a wall and you push it toward the wall,
the shoebox will push on the wall and the wall will push back. The shoebox
will, at this point, stop moving. You can try to push it harder, but the box will
break before it goes through the wall because it isn't strong enough to handle that much
force.
REDUCING FRICTION
Lubricated Surfaces.
Friction force is almost independent of pressure - normal force - if the surfaces
are flooded with lubricant, for well lubricated surfaces the friction is almost
independent of surface material.
Rollers and Glides. Also known as rolling-element bearings — are similar to ball
bearings in that they are designed to carry a load while minimizing friction. As an anti-
friction device, it allows lesser surface contacts on interacting bodies.

Falling objects have been observed closely since the early times, The
fascination on how objects freely fall back to the earth captured the interest of many
philosophers and scientists. This curiosity made us estimate the depth of a cliff by
simply by dropping a rock into it and listening for the rock to hit the bottom. By
applying the concept of kinematics- examining some interesting situations and learn
much about gravity in the process became accessible.
The most amazing and unexpected fact about falling objects is that, if air
resistance and friction are negligible, then in a given location all objects fall toward
the center of Earth with the same constant acceleration, regardless of its mass. This
concept was proven by Galileo Galilei in his famous Leaning Tower of Pisa
experiment. This determine the fact that the effects of air resistance and friction
explains why light objects fall slower than heavy ones. This same concept was
applied in understanding objects moving in projectiles, which as well affected by the
force of gravity,
This concept as explained in Newtonian mechanics is also known as a linear
momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum is the product of
the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and
a direction. If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity (also a vector quantity), then
the object's momentum

(1564-1642) The speed of falling objects increases steadily during the time of their
fall. This acceleration is the same for heavy objects as for light ones,

If the gravitational field is uniform, it acts equally on all parts of the body,
making it "weightless" or experiencing "0 g". In general, as long as air resistance is
negligible with respect to an object's weight, it can achieve free fall.
Examples include a bomb without a propulsion system engaged; an object
thrown upward reaching its maximum height; an object dropped from a cliff or into
a drop tube or a person jumping up.

The force of gravity causes objects to fall toward the center of Earth. The
acceleration of free-falling objects is therefore called the acceleration due to
gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is constant, which means that it can be
applied in kinematics equations to any falling object where air resistance and friction
are negligible.

Targets/ At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
Objectives a. Define work, power and energy mathematically.
b. Discuss the different sources and forms of energy.
What is work?
It is measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a
distance by an external
Offline Activities force at least part of which
(e-Learning/Self- is applied in it. It Occurs

➢ Change its position
➢ Change its speed
➢ Change its direction
➢ Change it size
https://selftution.com/work-and-energy-in-physics-definition-examples-joule/
Work can be calculated with the equation:
Work = Force × Distance. The SI unit for work is the
joule (J), or Newton • meter (N • m). One joule equals
the amount of work that is done when 1 N of force
moves an object over a distance of 1 m. In honor of
James Prescott Joule who studied the nature of heat, and
discovered its relationship to mechanical work.
TRY THESE! What factors affect the work done by an object in motion?
1. A 25kg package lifted at a height of 3.4 meters.
2. A 25kg packaged dragged along the floor at 35 degrees moved at 3.4 meters.
3. A 35kg packaged dragged along the floor at 35 degrees moved at 3.4 meters.
What is Power?
In physics, power is the amount of energy
transferred or converted per unit time. In the
International System of Units, the unit of power is the
watt, equal to one joule per second.
SI unit: watt (W). The watt unit is named after James Watt,
the inventor of the steam engine.
What is Energy? In physics, it is the capacity for doing work. It may exist
in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other various forms.
There are, moreover, heat and work— energy in the process of transfer from one
body to another. Energy is the capacity of a physical system to do work. The
common symbol for energy is the uppercase letter E. The standard unit is the joule,
symbolized by J. One joule (1 J) is the energy resulting from the equivalent of one
newton (1 N) of force acting over one meter (1 m) of displacement.
TRY THESE! Is the energy conserved? If not, what was the wasted energy?
1. The potential energy of the hanging 2.5 kg ball, 13 meters above the ground is
3.5 J is allowed to drop at a velocity of 2.23 m/s.
2. The battery has an estimated potential energy of 1.5 Joules, it allowed a .25 kg
object to move at 3.15 m/s.
