Understanding Motion and Force Dynamics

Motion occurs when an object changes position from a fixed reference point, either vertically or horizontally. An object will move only if a force acts upon it. Forces can cause objects to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The three laws of motion proposed by Isaac Newton state that: 1) objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by a force, 2) acceleration is produced when a force acts on an object directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass, and 3) for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Motion creates distance, a scalar quantity referring to how far an object travels, while displacement is a vector quantity referring to the overall change in an

 Motion or Movement

- occurs when there is a change in position from a fixed referenced point, whether in
vertical or horizontal direction.
- Motion always happened anytime and anywhere, we always see this every day. Such as
particle, object living and nonliving things & others.
- The object move if there is a force acting on it.
 Force
- Is a push or pull acting on an object. It is exerted when two or more object make contact
or interact with one another in some way.
Example: a bicycle move if you step on its pedal
 Force can do the following things to an object while it is motion
- Force can be cause a body to accelerate or speed up.
o When force is exerted to a body at rest, it starts to move unless there is greater force
opposing it.
- Force ca cause a body to decelerate or slow down
o When force applied to the opposite direction of a moving object, it will decelerate. If
the force applied continuously, the object will stop moving altogether.
Example: catching a ball, when a person catches a ball, him or her stop ball from moving.
- Force can cause a body change its directions.
o When a force is applied on an object in an angle different to its direction of motion, it
causes the object to change direction.

Example: volleyball; in playing volleyball the force acting on the ball change its direction,
making the player move where the ball is.
 Motion or Movement
- occurs when there is a change in position from a fixed referenced point, whether in
vertical or horizontal direction.
- Motion always happened anytime and anywhere, we always see this every day. Such as
particle, object living and nonliving things & others.
- The object move if there is a force acting on it.
- Some motion are observable and some requires an objects or a technology for us to seen
the movement of the object
- Motion can be simple and complex.
Motion has three laws
- Proposed by Isaac Newton an English Physicist

1. The first law of motion


- States that the object at rest stays at rest and if the objects in motion stay in motion. It will
not change unless there’s a force will act on it
2. The Second law of motion
- It states that if you apply more force to an object , it accelerates at a higher point
- Also state that heavier an object is, the greater amount of force is need to accelerate it.
3. The third law of motion
- States that every action, there is an equal and an opposite action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction.
 Distance
- Motion creates distance.
- It is the total length between the two position
- How far the object travel
- A distance is a scalar quantity refers to how much ground is too covered by an object in
between two intervals. (when you say a scalar quantity, it is one of the physical quantities
of motion which classified into to Scalar and Vector quantities
- Scalar quantities are the measurement that strictly refer to the magnitude of the medium.
These properties include numerical value and answer the question “How much”?
- The distance is also answer to the question “How far is from this to that or between
this or that?”
 Displacement
- a vector quantity that refers to the object overall change in position.
- shortest distance from where the motion ended and started.
