(see appendix)

E. Abstraction

Kinematics Equation

Horizontal Dimension Vertical Dimension

𝑣𝑓 = 𝑣𝑖 + 𝑎𝑡 𝑣𝑓 = 𝑣𝑖 + 𝑔𝑡

𝑣𝑓 + 𝑣𝑖 𝑣𝑓 + 𝑣𝑖
𝑑=( )𝑡 𝑑=( )𝑡

1 1
𝑑 = 𝑣𝑖 𝑡 + 𝑎𝑡 2 𝑑 = 𝑣𝑖 𝑡 + 𝑔𝑡 2

𝑣𝑓2 = 𝑣𝑖2 + 2𝑎𝑑 𝑣𝑓2 = 𝑣𝑖2 + 2𝑔𝑑

Sample problems:
1. While the teacher is gone, Makoy went in front and jumped on
top of the table. If he free falls for 2.6 seconds
a. What will be his final velocity?

Given:
Vi = 0 m/s g = -9.8 m/s2 t = 2.6 s

Unknown:
Vf = ?

Solution:
Vf = Vi + gt
Vf = (0 m/s) + (9.8 m/s2) (2.6 s)
Vf = 25.48 s
 b. How far did he fall?
Given:
Vi = 0 m/s g = -9.8 m/s2 t = 2.6 s

Unknown:
d=?

Solution:
d = vit + ½ gt2
d = vit + ½ gt2
d = (0 m/s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s2) (2.6 s)2
d = -33.12 m

Problem set: (see appendix)

F. Evaluation

Direction: Choose the letter of the best answer.

1. In free fall, what is the only force acting on the body?

a. acceleration due to gravity
b. friction
c. air resistance
d. there is no force acting on the body
2. What is the value of acceleration due to gravity?
a. + 9.8 m/ss
b. + 9.8 m/s
c. - 9.8 m/ss
d. - 9.8 m/s
3. What is the velocity of an object at its highest point?
a. + 9.8 m/s
b. - 9.8 m/s
c. 0 m/s
d. Cannot be determined
4. What is the direction of the acceleration due to gravity?
a. upwards
b. downwards
c. to the left
d. to the right
5. What is the initial velocity of a free-falling body?
a. + 9.8 m/s
b. - 9.8 m/s
c. 0 m/s
d. Cannot be determined

G. Agreement
The teacher will ask the students to read about projectile motion.

H. Closing
At some point of our lives, we may be in our lowest point and
want to give up. But like a free-falling body, that is just a start. There
will be something that will motivate you and keep you going until you
reach your goal.
 I. Appendix

A. Activity: Drop Me!

Objective:
At the end of the activity, the student should be able to:
a. record the time of the ball to reach the ground.
b. calculate the actual height of the highest point an object
was released.

Materials: stopwatch, ball/book, chair

Directions: In a 1 whole sheet of paper, copy the table and answer the
guide questions.

Procedure:

1. Look for the tallest person in the classroom and a chair. Let
the person stand on top of the chair.
2. Give the person the ball/book and let him/her drop the object.
3. Using the stopwatch, ask one of your classmates to record the
time it takes the ball to reach the ground. Record the data on
the table.
4. Calculate the height covered by the ball/boo using the formula
h = ½ agt2.
5. Using the data from the table, calculate the final velocity of
the ball using the formula vf = at since vi = 0. Try calculating
the final velocity using the formula vf = √2𝑎𝑔 ℎ

Table 1. Data on the time and height of the highest point

Measured height: ________

Calculated height: _________

Guide Questions:

1. What is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?
2. How will you compare the actual height of the person who dropped
the object from the result of the experiment?

B. Problem Set
Objectives: students should be able to analyze and solve problems involving
uniform accelerated motion in vertical dimension (free fall).

Materials: calculator, paper and pen

Direction: Find what is being asked in the problem. Show complete solution.

1. The observation deck of tall skyscraper 370 m above the street.

Determine the time required for a penny to free fall from the deck to
the street below.

Given: Find:
vi = 0 m/s d = -370 m a = -9.8 m/s2 t = ??

Solution:

d = vit + 0.5at2
-370 m = (0 m/s)(t)+ 0.5(-9.8 m/s2)(t)2
-370 m = 0+ (-4.9 m/s2)(t)2
(-370 m)/(-4.9 m/s2) = t2
75.5 s2 = t2

t = 8.69 s

2. A stone is dropped into a deep well and is heard to hit the water 3.41
s after being dropped. Determine the depth of the well.
Given: Find:

a = -9.8 m/s2 t = 3.41 s vi = 0 m/s d = ??

3.
Solution:
d = vit + 0.5at2
d = (0 m/s)*(3.41 s)+ 0.5*(-9.8 m/s2)*(3.41 s)2

d = 0 m+ 0.5*(-9.8 m/s2)*(11.63 s2)

d = -57.0 m

(NOTE: the - sign indicates direction)

3. If Michael Jordan has a vertical leap of 1.29 m, then what is his

takeoff speed and his hang time (total time to move upwards to the
peak and then return to the ground)?

Given: Find:
a = -9.8 m/s2 vf = 0 m/s d = 1.29 m vi = ??
4. t = ??

Solution:

vf2 = vi2 + 2gd

(0 m/s)2 = vi2 + 2*(-9.8 m/s2)*(1.29 m)
0 m2/s2 = vi2 - 25.28 m2/s2
25.28 m2/s2 = vi2
 vi = 5.03 m/s

To find hang time, find the time to the peak and then
double it.

vf = vi + gt
0 m/s = 5.03 m/s + (-9.8 m/s2)*tup
-5.03 m/s = (-9.8 m/s2)*tup
(-5.03 m/s)/(-9.8 m/s2) = tup
tup = 0.513 s
hang time = 1.03 s
