MODULE 1: Forces
MELC: Investigate the relationship between the amount of force applied and the mass of the
object to the amount of change in the object’s motion. (Week 1, S8FE-Ia-15)

WRITTEN WORK NO. 1: SUM IT UP! SCORE: _______

Directions: Fill in the blanks with correct word/s. Write your answers on the space provided.
1. Any push or pull is called ________________.
2. ________________ refers to the size or strength of the force while ________________ points to
where the object goes. The direction of the arrowhead indicates the direction of the force. The length
of the arrow represents the amount of force (relative magnitude).
3. There are two types of forces, namely ________________ and ________________.
4. Applied, friction, normal and tensional forces are examples of ________ forces.
5. Gravitational and magnetic forces are examples of ________________ forces.
6. ________________ are forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
7. ________________ are forces that cause a change in the motion of an object.
8. The sum of all forces acting in an object is called ________________.
9. If the forces in an object are balanced, the net force is ________________.
10. If the forces in an object are unbalanced, the net force is ________________.

motion.
 MODULE 2: Newton’s Three Laws of Motion
MELC: Infer that when a body exerts a force on another, an equal amount of force is exerted back
on it. (Week 2 S8ES-IIa-15)
WRITTEN WORK NO. 2: LAWS OF MOTION! SCORE: _______
Directions: Fill in the blanks with the correct term/s. Write your answers on the space provided.
1 ____________ is the tendency of an object to resist any change in its initial state. If it is initially at
rest, it tends to remain at 2 ____________. On the other hand, if it is initially moving at constant
velocity, it tends to continue moving unless acted upon by a 3____________. Inertia depends on
the object’s 4. ____________. Newton’s 5 ____________, also known as the 6____________,
states that an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion will continue to move in a straight
path with constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force. Newton’s 7____________, also known
as the 8____________, states that acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force
causing it and inversely proportional to its mass. In symbol, 9 ________________.
Newton’s 10 ____________, also known as the 11____________, states that for every action, there
is an equal and opposite reaction. When air resistance is neglected, all objects fall toward the
ground with the same acceleration called 12 ____________. It is approximately equal to
13_________________. The force that causes object to fall toward the center of the Earth is called
14 ____________. It is expressed through the equation 15 ____________.

PERFORMANCE TASK NO. 2: WHATTA LAW? SCORE: _______

Directions: Identify the law of motion that applies in each situation. Write your answers on the space
provided.

Situation Type of Laws of Motion

1. Throwing garbage on the river would go back to the
community during the flood season.
2. It is easier to push an empty shopping cart than a loaded
one.
3. The baseball is thrown into the air after being hit by the
bat.
4. When walking, your foot pushes the ground backward, and
the ground pushes your foot forward.
5. A runner who reaches the finish line must continue running
for some time.
