Formative Assessment 1

1) Motion is defined as a change in position relative to a fixed reference point and can be uniform, non-uniform, linear, circular, vibrational, or elliptical. 2) There are scalar quantities like distance and speed that describe only magnitude, and vector quantities like displacement and velocity that describe both magnitude and direction of motion. 3) Examples of motion in daily life include traveling in a car (linear motion relative to the road but at rest within the car), the circular motion of fans or wheels, and the back-and-forth vibrational motion of walking.

SUBJECT : SCIENCE 7 (3rd GP) FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT #1

TYPE OF ACTIVITY : CONCEPT NOTES


ACTIVITY TITLE : DEFINITION, KINDS AND QUANTITIES OF MOTION
LEARNING TARGET/S : I can understand the definition, kinds and different quantities of motion.
REFERENCE/S : Exploring the Realms of Science: Integrated Science by Magleo et.al. pp. 117-121
Motion is a change in position of any body or object with respect to a fixed reference point. A
reference point is something that is stationary. Motion is the result of unbalanced forces that can either be
too fast or too slow. You can determine whether an object has a positive motion (an object moves at a
positive direction as defined by the coordinate system) or negative motion (an object moves at a negative
direction as defined by the coordinate system) by comparing its position to that of a fixed point which can
either be respect or relative.
Respect means “starting point” while Relative means “point of reference”. Respect is the
relationship of an object from the starting point while Relative is the relationship of two objects that can
either have a positive or negative motion. This is one of the examples, “When you are riding a car, you are
AT REST with respect to the car, but you have a POSITIVE MOTION relative to the ground”. In this
situation, YOU are the object with respect to the CAR and the car is the starting point (Respect) while the
two objects related to the ground which is the point of reference are YOU and the CAR (Relative). Now,
since you are already aware of the definition of motion, let us now tackle the two (2) kinds of motion.
A. ACCORDING TO SPEED OF OBJECTS
1. Uniform Motion – object moves at constant speed and the motion is the same all throughout. An
object in uniform motion travels equal distances at same time interval. A complete picture of a
uniform motion of an object can be shown using a Graphical Representation.
2. Non – Uniform Motion – object moves at different speed. It can either be speeds up or slows down.
An object in non – uniform motion travels different distances at same time interval. A complete
picture of an object motion non – uniformly can be shown using a Number Line (used in illustrating
motion from up to down or left to right and vice versa) or Cartesian Plane (used in illustrating
motion with charges and direction).
B. ACCORDING TO PATH OF OBJECTS
1. Linear / Rectilinear / Translational Motion – motion of an object along a straight path
2. Circular Motion – motion of an object around a central point
3. Vibrational Motion – back and forth motion of an object
4. Elliptical Motion – object’s motion around a central point but not in a perfect circle
5. Projectile Motion – object’s motion with an initial and final velocity whose influenced by the pull of
gravity. Projectile is the initial velocity while trajectory is the path followed by a projectile flying or
an object moving under the action of given forces.
In order to describe or measure the motion done by an object, different quantities can be used. Scalar
quantities are quantities that describe size or magnitude only, while Vector quantities are quantities that
describe size or magnitude with direction of motion (North, East, West South). Examples of Scalar
Quantities are 2 cm, 3 m/s and 5 kg. On the other hand, examples of Vector Quantities are 2cm North, 3
m/s East and 5 kph2 South.
