LOOKING BACK
A. 1. Speed meter per second (m/s2) D. 3. Distance meter (m)
B. 2. Displacement meter (m) C. 4. Velocity metres per second (m/s)
ACTIVITY 1
1. At t = 0s, the speed or velocity of the train is 0 m/s
At t = 1s, the speed or velocity of the train is 2 m/s
2. Yes, because the train's speed increases as the time passes. its velocity changes over time hence it is
not constant and also it accelerates by 2 meter per second square. It has to do with changing the speed at
which an item moves. If the velocity of an item does not change, it is not accelerating.
3. at =Vf – Vi
Where…
a- acceleration
t- time
Vf- final velocity
Vi- initial velocity
4. The acceleration for a, b and c is 2 m/s 2
5. The train accelerates at the same rate for a, b, and c, which is 2 m/s2. The acceleration can be
described as uniform.
6. An object in motion with uniform acceleration accelerates at a constant rate. Therefore, the acceleration
of that object is uniform.
7. No, since the item will accelerate if acceleration is in the same direction as velocity. The item will slow
down if the acceleration is in the opposite direction as the velocity. Another way to put it is that if the
acceleration and velocity have the same sign, the object will accelerate.
ACTIVITY 2
Case 1:
1. y2 – y1 = 10 – 10 = 0 = 0 m/s2
x
2 – x1 5–0 5
The slope of the line from A to B creates a horizontally straight line.
2. Since the meaning of acceleration is the change in velocity of an object, therefore, the velocity here is
constant. Moving with positive constant velocity.
Case 2:
3. Considering acceleration refers to a change in an object's velocity, therefore, the acceleration here is
moving towards positive direction with uniform increase in velocity (+ constant acceleration).
4. As that definition of acceleration is the change in velocity of an object, the acceleration here is speeding
up. Why is a = 5m/s2? Because velocity is directly related to time, it is claimed that in 1s, it travels at
v=5m/s and in 2s, it travels at another 5m/s, thus it changes in every 5m/s in every second, therefore the
acceleration is increasing at the rate of a=5m/s 2.
5.
6. The slope of a graph of distance against time provides velocity. Change in distance/time required to
make the change. According to the graph, the item travels at a constant velocity.
7. Acceleration is defined as the slope of a velocity vs time graph. According to the graph, the item is
continually accelerating.
Case 3:
1. How do you describe the velocity of the object between point AB, BC, CD, and DE?
a. Segment AB shows velocity is increasing. The velocity between points AB is positively changing from
slow to fast and the slope is positive (moving upwards to right).
b. Segment BC shows velocity is constant. The velocity between points BC positively constant and the
slope is positive (moving upwards to the right).
c. Segment CD shows velocity is decreasing. The velocity between points CD is also positively changing
from fast to slow and the slope is positive (moving upwards to the right).
d. Segment DE shows zero velocity or at rest. The velocity between points DE is zero and slope is zero.
There is no change in displacement.
2. Between which points does the object move with zero acceleration?
 In position vs. time graph, segment BC has zero acceleration since there is no change in velocity.
3. How do you describe the acceleration of the object between points AB, BC, CD and DE?
In reference to velocity vs. time graph
 Segment AB shows increasing acceleration.
 Segment BC shows uniform acceleration.
 Segment CD shows decreasing acceleration.
 Segment DE shows decreasing acceleration.
4) Between which points does the object move with decreasing velocity until coming to a stop?
- In reference to velocity vs. time graph, segment DE shows decreasing acceleration until stop.
ACTIVITY 3
ACTIVITY 4
1. A sports car starts accelerates uniformly from rest and reaches a speed 20.0 m/s in just 4.0 seconds.
What is the magnitude of the car’s acceleration?
 The magnitude of car's acceleration is 5m/s²
2. You drop a stone from the edge of the cliff. If the stone hits the ground after 3.0 seconds, how high is the
cliff? (ignore the effect of air resistance) acceleration due to gravity = 9.80 m/s 2 Hint: “drop” means the initial
velocity is zero.
 The cliff is 44.1m high

- For 4 seconds I use the given:
 a = 3m/s2
 t(s) = 1 – 4
Formula: v = a/t
- For t(s) = 5-8 (velocity is constant for 5 seconds)
 So the value of t(s) = 4 is equal to t(s) 5-8
- For the t(s)= 9 -11
 it said that the acceleration is constant for 3 seconds
 I used -4m/s2 to solve the velocity in time 9-11 and the velocity in 12 seconds stated as 0 m/s

REFLECTION
1. What concepts and skills did you learn in this module and how can you apply it in real life situations?
 This lesson taught me about acceleration as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time, as
well as the formula to employ and the graphical presentation of such. Because it has a magnitude
and a direction, acceleration is an example of a vector quantity. It is also the second derivative of
position in relation to time, or acceleration is the first derivative of velocity in relation to time.
Acceleration has numerous real-world uses, such as when an automobile accelerates and
decelerates, or when a car turns a corner, which is an example of acceleration since the direction
changes. The faster the bends, the faster the acceleration and the more difficult it is to stop an
automobile. Acceleration occurs whenever you move a portion of your body, such as your finger,
foot, blinking, breathing, speaking, and so on. Acceleration is defined as any change in motion from
motionless to moving or stopping while moving (in this situation, deceleration is merely another
kind of acceleration), or altering its velocity from one speed to another (faster or slower). That is
why we investigate acceleration.
2. Can you cite something you have learned from the past that is connected to the concepts/skills you
learned in this module?
 We already learnt about velocity. The rate of change of location with respect to time is defined as
velocity, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector variables with a
definite direction, but velocity is measured in meters per second and acceleration is measured in
meters per second squared. However, for each of them, time is the channel through which velocity
and acceleration occur. An item will have traveled a given distance in a specific length of time, and
this distance is determined by the velocity or acceleration. Another thing to keep in mind is that
while the velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. What makes this possible? Because
acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, and there is no change in velocity, acceleration is
equal to zero.
3. What concepts, information, skills would you like more time practicing or working to better understand?

I'd want to improve my problem-solving skills by applying faster critical thinking and analysis to a
problem given.
