The document discusses concepts related to motion, including reference frames, distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration. It provides videos and simulations to explain these concepts and includes activities for students to practice calculating values like displacement and velocity given scenarios of objects in motion. The document aims to teach students the essential physics of motion through interactive multimedia content and consolidation exercises.

Activities of the Unit “The motion”
Activity. Reference frame
Think and reason
In the picture on the right, two friends are talking on the phone, one inside a car and the other
inside a bus. Discuss with tour partner:
a) Which of the two is moving?
b) Who is moving away from whom?
c) Can you find a fixed point?
Watch and listen
Now, watch the following videos to understand the concepts of:
✓ Relative Motion and Inertial Reference Frames. Did you know that everything is moving?
Even you, as you're sitting perfectly still, because the earth is moving, and the sun, and the
galaxy, and so forth. For this reason, it only makes sense to talk about the motion of some
object relative to some other object. Watch this and see what I mean! (Professor Dave
Explains)

✓ Distance and Displacement. How do we understand Distance? Is Displacement the same as
Distance? Watch this video to know more! (Don’t Memorise Channel)

Read and remember
In the following picture you can see the motion of a man. In order to study the motion of a man,
we need to define concepts.

Activity. Velocity
Now, watch the following video to understand the concept of velocity
✓ Distance, Displacement, Speed and Velocity: Let's explore these Motion concepts in an
exciting and practical way! In this Part 1 video, the concepts of Distance, Displacement,
Speed and Velocity are discussed in detail. In the Part 2 video, I'll be driving around and
showing you how to practically apply these concepts! (Manocha Academy)

Resolve
Driving on a road at a constant velocity, you observe that you pass kilometre point 12 at 11:24
and kilometre point 21 at 11:30. What is the displacement? What is the velocity? When would
you pass kilometre point 27?
Did you know?
The cheetah is the fastest animal and it also has the greatest ability to accelerate. It can go from 0
to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, whereas a sports car like the Mercedes – Benz SLR McLaren needs
3.8 s. Working with your partner, calculate the acceleration of the cheetah and sports car.

Activity. Acceleration
Now, watch the following video to understand the concept of acceleration
✓ When do we say that an object is accelerating? What happens to the velocity of an object
when it accelerates? Is acceleration scalar or vector? Watch this video to know the answers!

Resolve
In order to take off, a commercial aeroplane must reach a velocity greater than 250 km/h.
Calculate the velocity in Sistema International Units and determine the take – off acceleration if
it reaches this velocity in one minute and 10 seconds.

Activity. Types of motion
In the previous activities you have seen that there are certain motions in which the velocity is
constant: these are called uniform motions.
There are other motions in which the velocity varies at a constant rate. These are called
uniformly accelerated motions.
Look this scheme and resolve the proposed exercise
Resolve
A car starts moving at a traffic light with an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2
for eight seconds. Then it
continues at a constant velocity for 20 seconds. At that moment it brakes with an acceleration of
2 m/s2
.
Determine:
a) Build the velocity – time graph.
b) The velocity of the first section
c) The distance moved in the second section
d) The take it takes to stop

Reading
Look at this presentation about the physics of motion:
The Language of Motion. Mechanics is the study of the motion of objects and Kinematics is the
science of describing the motion of objects using words, diagrams, numbers, graphs, and
equations. Kinematics is a branch of mechanics. You must read more at the following link:
