Prior Knowledge
• A moving object determined its motion by speed. Speed determine whether it
moves slowly or quickly. Some objects/things move slowly – for example snail,
turtle, and caterpillar ; the other one move quickly – for example airplane, supercar,
and superbike. We can classify an object/thing whether it includes in a slow or fast
moving.
Objective
• To understand what is meant by speed
• To calculate the speed (with a proper unit)
• To interpret a simple distance – time graph
What is Physics?
• Derived from the Greek word fusis, meaning nature or natural things
• The science of matter, energy, space, and time.
• Study of interaction between physical system.
Why study Physics?
• Study of natural phenomena in terms of basis law and physical quantities.
• Basic rule of the universe
• Most fundamental science.
• At higher level, deals with elementary particles, or particles that make up proton, electron, and
neutron
• Physics is the law of nature.
•Physics is important for understanding the technology around us; its study
uses skills that are useful in other fields as well. With deeper understanding
comes appreciation of the physical universe.
Mathematics and Physics?
• Physics focuses on “big idea”
• To describe natural process accurately, general equations have been determined
through experiment.
Introduction
• When will Rossi accelerate?
• When will Rossi steady? Start / Finish
• When will Rossi reaches top
speed?
• When will Rossi decelerate?
• When will Rossi stop?
Speed
• Speed (v) is determined by distance travelled divided by time taken.
speed = distance travelled (meter)
time taken (second)
• The S.I. unit for speed is m/s (meter per second).
• This means how many meters can be travelled by an object in one second.

Assessment
• Write down the speed from the t=0s until t=2s and t=3s until t=5s! (speed
measured in m/s)
• How far did the car can get?
• How long (in seconds) did the car in stationary position?
• How long (in seconds) did the car returned to its original position?
Conclusion
• Speed is determined by distance travelled divided by time taken.
• S.I. unit of speed is m/s (meter per second).
• In distance-time graph / motion graph:
1. Gradient = speed
2. Steeper = faster
3. Straight line = stationary
4. Negative gradient = returning to the start
