Quarter 1 – Module 3:
Kinematics: Motion Along a
Straight Line
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the General Physics 1 12 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on

Kinematics: Motion Along a Straight Line!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming
their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master
the Motion Along a Straight Line. The scope of this module permits it to be used in
many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse
vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.

The module has one lesson, namely:

 Lesson
Uniformly Accelerated
1 Motion

Constant acceleration occurs when an object’s velocity changes by an equal amount

in every equal time period.

What’s In

Show pictures of moving body or moving object. Describe the motion based on
pictures.

• Playing basketball, volley ball, sepak takraw, javelin throw.

• Riding in a roller coaster and Ferris wheel
• Falling objects

Notes to the Teacher

It is significant that learners had background on the distance,
displacement, velocity and acceleration.

10
 What’s New

Traveling with a constant velocity means you're going at the same speed in the same
direction continuously. If you have a constant velocity, this means you have
zero acceleration. ... If you travel with a constant acceleration, your velocity is always
changing, but it's changing by a consistent amount each second.

An object experiencing constant acceleration has a velocity that increases or

decreases by an equal amount for any constant period of time.

Assuming acceleration to be constant does not seriously limit the situation, we can
study and does not degrade the accuracy of our treatment, because in a great
number of situations, acceleration is constant. When it is not, we can either consider
it in separate parts of constant acceleration or use an average acceleration over a
period of time.

11
 What is It

Constant Velocity

Motion with constant velocity is one of the simplest forms of motion. This type of
motion occurs when an object is moving (or sliding) in the presence of little or
negligible friction, similar to that of a hockey puck sliding across the ice. To have a
constant velocity, an object must have a constant speed in a constant direction.
Constant direction constrains the object to motion to a straight path.

Constant acceleration

We are all familiar with the fact that a car speeds up when we put our foot down on
the accelerator. The rate of change of the velocity of a particle with respect to time is
called its acceleration. If the velocity of the particle changes at a constant rate, then
this rate is called the constant acceleration.

Since we are using meters and seconds as our basic units, we will measure
acceleration in meters per second per second. This will be abbreviated as m/s2. It is
also commonly abbreviated as m/s2.

For example, if the velocity of a particle moving in a straight-line change uniformly

(at a constant rate of change) from 2 m/s to 5 m/s over one second, then its constant
acceleration is 3 m/s2.

12
 What’s More

Classify the physical situation as constant velocity or

constant acceleration:
1. Riding a Ferris Wheel
2. Freely falling object
3. Shooting a ball in a ring
4. Rowing a boat
5. Driving in a curve road
6. Falling parachute
7. Throwing a golf ball
8. Racing car as approaching the finish line
9. A car moving down from a hill
10. Dribbling a ball

13
 What I Have Learned

1. An object moving with constant velocity must have a constant speed in a constant
direction.

2. If the velocity of the particle changes at a constant rate, then this rate is called
the constant acceleration.
