Unit 2: Motion

Chapter 3: Motion in one Dimension


Lesson 1: Motion in Pictures and Precision

<H1> Key Vocabulary


 Displacement is the shortest straight-line distance from an object's initial to final position, considering
direction.
 Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object, irrespective of direction.
 Position is the he location of an object in space, typically relative to a reference point.
 Scalar is a quantity that has only magnitude, no direction, like mass or temperature.
 Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance, measured in units like meters per second.
 Vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, like force or velocity.
 Velocity is the rate of displacement of an object, with both magnitude and direction.

<H1>Vocabulary Check
Which vocabulary words are you familiar with?
 Add a check mark by the word(s) that you know.
 Add a star to note which word(s) you will need to study.

<H1>Lesson Summary
In this lesson, you explored the concepts of scalar and vector quantities. Scalars are defined by magnitude alone,
like mass and temperature, while vectors include both magnitude and direction, such as force and displacement.
You also examined the differences between distance and displacement where distance being the total length of
the path traveled, while displacement represents the shortest straight-line change in position. Similarly, speed
tells you how fast an object moves, whereas velocity considers both speed and direction. Through practical
examples, you discovered how vectors play a key role in real-world situations, from navigation to sports. By
understanding these ideas, you can analyze motion more precisely in everyday life.

<H1>Lesson Summary Questions:


(Hint: Use the data provided in different scenarios to find out different quantities)
 Emily’s Flight to New York: Emily is flying from Los Angeles to New York for a business trip. The
airplane maintains a steady speed of 500 mph. If her journey takes 6 hours, what is the total distance
she travels?
 Lisa’s Jogging Routine: Lisa jogs around a circular track that is 200 meters in circumference. If she
completes 5 full laps, calculate the total distance she runs and her displacement from the starting point.
 A Real-World Motion Challenge: Nathan, an experienced runner, decides to train for a marathon. He
starts his run from his home, heading 5 miles north to a sports complex. After resting for a few
minutes, he runs 3 miles east to a grocery store to pick up supplies. From there, he jogs another 4 miles
south to visit his friend. Finally, he runs 2 miles west back to his home.
During his entire journey, he maintained a consistent speed of 8 miles per hour for the first half of his
run and increased his speed to 10 miles per hour for the second half.
Using the given information:
1. Calculate the total distance Nathan covered.
2. Determine his displacement from start to finish.
3. Find the average speed for the entire journey.
4. Calculate the average velocity for his trip.

<H1>Skill Mastery
1. A person sitting on a Ferris wheel completes half the revolution. If the radius of the Ferris wheel is 10 m.
Calculate the distance and displacement, also if the time taken for the process is 10 seconds, then calculate
the speed and velocity of the person.
2. A girl travels from home to market on her bicycle with a speed of 20 kmph, after reaching market she
realizes that she forgot to bring the cash, so she rushes back to home with a speed of 30 kmph. Calculate
the average speed and velocity of girl in the complete scenario.
3. Priya wishes to travel from her school to a library; along the way she needs to buy a notebook from the
market. She travels with a speed of 4 km/h from school to market and then travels with a speed of 6 km/h
from market to library. Refer to her path in the figure and calculate her average speed.

@TS: Redraw the figure with providing an image according to labelling.

4. Alex works as a delivery driver for a local food service. One morning, he starts from the restaurant and
drives 6 miles east to deliver an order. Then, he heads 4 miles south to the next delivery location. After
that, he travels 3 miles west for another stop and finally 5 miles north back to the restaurant. Throughout
the trip, Alex maintains a speed of 40 mph for half the journey but speeds up to 50 mph for the remaining
half.
Using this information:
 Find the total distance Alex covered.
 Determine his displacement from the starting point.
 Calculate his average speed for the journey.
 Find his average velocity for the trip.
5. David takes a train every morning to work. The train moves at a speed of 67 mph. While traveling, David
walks down the aisle at a speed of 2 mph in the same direction as the train. If the train travels for 2 hours,
how much distance does it cover? Additionally, how far does David walk in 10 minutes?
6. Michael is learning to navigate a boat across a river. The boat moves at a steady speed of 4 m/s, but the
river’s current flows at 3 m/s, making it tricky to reach the other side. If Michael needs to cover a distance
of 100 meters across the river, how long will it take him to complete the journey?
A) 25 seconds
B) 20 seconds
C) 30 seconds
D) 40 seconds
7. Delivery Drone Efficiency Test: Distance, Displacement, Speed & Velocity Calculation
In a city-wide delivery system, three autonomous drones (X, Y, and Z) are tested for their efficiency in
delivering packages. Each drone follows a different route but covers approximately the same total distance. The
goal is to analyze their distance traveled, displacement, speed, and velocity.
Each drone is tested on identical delivery tasks, with the following recorded results:
Total Distance Final Displacement (m, Total Time
Drone Path Covered
Traveled (m) Direction) Taken (s)
300 m north → 200 m south →
X ? ? 50
100 m east
400 m north → 300 m west →
Y ? ? 60
200 m south
500 m east → 500 m west → 200
Z ? ? 80
m north

Task:
Using this information, calculate:
1. The total distance traveled by each drone.
2. The displacement from the starting point for each drone.
3. The average speed of each drone.
4. The average velocity of each drone using.

Reflection:
Why is velocity more relevant than speed when optimizing drone deliveries? How does displacement affect
efficiency in real-world navigation?
