Day 1
Hi again my dear! Do you enjoy playing ball games? Are you
a fan of basketball? Have you ever wondered how some players
can shoot the ball way past the three-point line like Stephen
Curry? Actually, there are physics behind it.
Those ball games exhibit the concept of projectile motion.
Are you familiar with the story of David and Goliath?

The story of the battle between David and Goliath is taken from
the book of Samuel from the Bible. The story from the bible talks
about how David, a lowly shepherd, defeated a giant warrior by the
name Goliath. His only weapon was a slingshot strong enough to
knock down Goliath. The slingshot uses a stone to transfer energy.
The moment the stone leaves the slingshot; it is affected by the pull

4
of gravity. Thus, the stone travels vertically upward and at the same
time it also travels horizontally because of gravity’s influence.
An object that travels through air is under the influence of the
Earth’s gravitational force. As an old cliché says, “whatever goes
up, must come down.” This is true in the point of view of Science,
because the projectile body moving through the air is influenced by
air resistance and the gravitational force of the Earth pulling on it.
There are several equations that we may encounter along the way
in our study of projectile motion. For example, how are the vertical
and horizontal motions of projectile computed? What are the
relationships between a projectile’s maximum height reached, total
time in the air, horizontal initial velocity and horizontal distance
traveled? All these questions will be answered as we go on with our
first lesson. But before that I want you to open your book turn to page
70 and answer the question:
What are thinking right now when you hear the word
projectile?

The study of projectile motion combines the study of uniformly
accelerated motion and uniform velocity. It is the motion of an object
that travels freely under the action of gravity and air resistance alone.
The most common example of an object moving in two-dimensions
is a projectile.
A projectile is an object or body thrown in curved path given
an initial velocity and whose motion is influence by the pull gravity.
Trajectory is the path of a projectile body that is principally
determined by two types of motion – vertical and horizontal motions.
Try to sketch a projectile motion and label the parts (a) trajectory (b)
vertical motion (c) horizontal motion.

Let us talk about the Types of Projectile Motion.
a. Object is Projected Downward
Gravity is a downward force that causes a projectile body to
accelerate in the downward direction. The force of gravity does not
affect the horizontal velocity of an object, since perpendicular
components of motion are independent of each other. A vertical
force acting upon a horizontally moving object causes the object to
deviate from its otherwise linear path. Observe Figure 4. Its shows
that the ball travels horizontally and vertically as it travels freely
downward.

Notice that the initial horizontal velocity (vix) is equal to
horizontal final velocity (vfx).

Figure 7. Experiment 1 Set up
Find the velocity of the ball if the time it takes to roll a
measured distance on the table is given.
In this activity, measure the initial velocity of a projectile and the
height it will fall. Calculate the distance from the table, the range
where the projectile will land.
To record the point where the projectile lands on the floor, place a
piece of carbon paper over a piece of scrap paper and tape it to the
floor. The projectile will leave a mark on the paper where it lands.
Measure the horizontal range of the projectile and compare this to
the calculated distance.
Equipment:
1. Rubber ball (tennis ball)
2. Triangular ruler or book
3. Carbon paper
4. Meter stick/ruler
5. Tape
6. Stop watch

Procedure:
1. Find anything with a smooth path in which the ball can roll
down, devise a launcher for the ball using a triangular ruler or
a book. Determine the initial point on the launcher where it
gives the ball a velocity.
2. Put two pieces of tape with size 30-50 cm apart on the table in
the direction of the ball. This is the distance (d) in the figure.
Tally this distance.
3. Measure the vertical distance from the top of the laboratory
table to the floor. This is h in the figure. Tally this height.
4. Launch a trial run and determine the position where the
projectile hits the floor. Tape a piece of paper at this location
and place a piece of carbon paper on top to mark the hits of the
projectile.
5. Do the projectile several times. For each launch, get the time it
takes for the ball to roll the measured horizontal distance on the
table and tally the rolling time (troll) in the data table.
6. Get your phone and take a selfie with your set up and send it to
your General Physics Teacher and that’s Mam Rachel S. Laya.

Determine the point on the floor where the ball leaves the
table using a meter stick or ruler. Measure the distance from this
point to the center of the landing positions. This is the range of the
projectile.
Modify the launcher so that the projectile is launched at different
velocities and repeat several trials.
Results:
1. Obtain the average rolling time for the projectile to move the
measured horizontal distance.
2. Determine the velocity of the projectile as it rolls across the
table.

Day 2
It has been said that the human body is like a mechanical system
designed by God. It consists of coordinating parts that perform
different life functions. However, like any machine, the human
body is susceptible to friction. Friction causes wear and tear in the
joints, making movement difficult. People with arthritis know how
painful their knees are after sitting or standing for a long time or
by just making a wrong move. You will more about friction is this
module.
Did You Know?
The section in Physics that is in agreement with description of
motion is called kinematics, while the foundation of motion is
called dynamics. These two come from Greek words kinema,
meaning motion, and dynamis, meaning power.
The Greeks during the time of Aristotle observed that the
continuous pushing or pulling will keep an object from moving
and when it is no longer applied, the object comes to rest. These
statement seem logical, but they are incorrect according to Galileo
who devised two simple thought experiments.
Galileo observed that a ball rolling along a horizontal surface
will come to rest and it is being slowed down by friction or
resistance.
In the second thought experiment, Galileo reasoned that if the
slope of the rising plane is decreased to make it less steep than the
descending slope, the ball would roll farther along this slope and
will stop when it gets to the top from where it was dropped on the
first slope.
Galileo also concluded that if the slope of the second plane
was zero, the ball would continue to roll with no loss of speed.

Galileo explained the theory of motion that every object had a
property which Isaac Newton later called inertia. Inertia is a
characteristic of an object that counters its state of motion.
Let’s talk about Newton’s Laws of Motion.
Force is a push or pull exerted by an object on another. It is a
vector quantity because it has magnitude and direction.
Force between two bodies that are in direct contact with each
other is called contact force. Force that acts even if the
interacting bodies are separated by a distance is called
noncontact or action-at a distance force.
Below are examples of forces. Identify whether it’s a contact
or noncontact force.
_____________1. Gravitational Force
_____________2. Someone kick a ball
_____________3. Magnets repel each other
_____________4. Intermolecular force
_____________5. Frictional force

Newton’s First Law of motion and that is _________________.
For that _______________________ made use of the work of
his predecessors, which enabled him to develop the laws of
motion.

Day 3
Isaac Newton was credited for
being the first to describe the motion
of massive objects and formulated the
three laws of motion. Newton’s laws
of motion constitute the fundamental
principles of dynamics, which deals
with force in relation to the motion of
an object.
Newton’s First Law – Law of Inertia
Isaac Newton summed up his own work with Galileo. The book
Philopophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica is the first Law
of Newton and is expressed as:
“An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in
motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless
acted upon by an unbalanced force.”
Sample Problem
Suppose you are helping a friend transfer from one residence to
another and your friend asks you to stand in the rear truck to hold
a piano from an inclined plane. Explain why you should decline
the request of your friend. The answer should indicate your
understanding of Galileo and the First law of Motion.

Since a piano has large mass, it also has a large inertia. If the
truck suddenly moves, the piano that is in a state of rest could
slide down. Even the truck stops all of a sudden, the piano will
keep moving. Hence, anyone standing in the rear of the piano
and the truck could be injured.

Day 4
Newton’s Second Law – Law of Acceleration
Once a force that acts on an object is unbalanced, it will
accelerate and can be expressed as:
a α F, where mass is constant value
When the force remains constant, the mass increases and the
acceleration decreases. Mathematically, the relationship can be
expressed as:

a α 𝟏, where F is constant
𝒎
The following ideas can be summarized to create the second
law of Newton:
1. Once a force that acts on an object is unbalanced, it will
accelerate in the same direction as the force.
2. The acceleration of the object varies with unbalanced force.
3. The acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass.
If two proportionality statements are combined to form
proportionality, the result is:

a=α𝑭
m
“It states that acceleration is directly proportional to Force
and inversely proportional to the mass of an object.” Recall:
• What is the unit used of Force? __________
• What is the equivalent of 1 Newton? _________
• Mathematically, what is the second law of motion?
_________ This relationship is illustrated in the following
sample problems.

Solution:

Newton’s Third Law – Law of Interaction


When an empty balloon is blown with air and released, the air
blasts out from the open end of the balloon initiating a movement
in the opposite direction.
The motion of the balloon is an example of the third law of
Motion of Newton:
For every force of action, there is force of reaction equal in
magnitude but opposite in direction.

In the previous example, it can be expressed in an equation as:


Fescaping-air = F air-on-balloon
The force of reaction is when the air is pushing the balloon
forward while escaping air is moving in the opposite direction.

Other examples of Law of Interaction
a. Walking
When walking, the feet push backward on the ground while the
ground pushes the feet forward.
b. Driving
When a car moves, the engine rotates the driveshaft, the
driveshaft rotated the wheels, and the wheels push backward
on the road.
c. Swimming
As the swimmer pushes backward on the water, the water’s
force of reaction pushes the swimmer in the forward direction.

Write 2 examples of Newton’s Third Law in the box and write the
description reaction force.
