ACTIVITY SHEETS IN SCIENCE 9
4TH Quarter
Week 1:
MELC: Describe the horizontal and vertical motions of a
projectile
Topic: Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM)
Figure 2
Key Concept: In grade 7, You learned the concept of
Speed, Velocity and Acceleration. Those topics are
something to with our today’s lessons. Let’s describe the
Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM) is the motion of
an object where the acceleration is constant, in other
words, the acceleration is uniform, the acceleration is
equal to a number and that number does not change as
a function of time. Examples of UAM are rolling ball
down in inclined plane, falling leaves and a ball dropped
from top a ladder.
Let’s start in Uniformly Accelerated Motion in
Horizontal Dimensions. If a body maintains constant
change in its
velocity in a
given time
interval
along a
straight line,
then the
body is said
to have a uniform acceleration. Rolling soccer ball in the
Figure 1
field
(figure 1) and riding a bicycle in a straight line (figure 2)
are example of UAM in horizontal dimensions
Let’s have a sample problem: An airplane from rest
accelerates on a runway at 5.50m/s2 for 20.25 s until it
finally takes off the ground. What is the distance covered
before takeoff?
Given: a = 5.50m/s2 t= 20.25s vi = 0m/s Find d=?
Solution: d= vit +1/2 at2 (formula in finding distance)
d= (0m/s) * (20.25s) + ½ (5.50m/s2) * (20.25s)2
d= 1130m ( cancel the unit of second (s) )
Now, Let’s proceed to Uniformly Accelerated Motion
in Vertical Dimension. When you throw something up,
it will go down. Things thrown upward always fall at a
constant acceleration of 9.8m/s2. This means that the
any motion involving dropped object that
is only acted on by gravity. Consider a
stone dropped from a cliff as shown on
the side. For equal time interval, the
distance travelled increases
quadratically. Remember: When you
throw the ball upward its acceleration is -
9.8m/s2 because it is against the gravity
and when you throw the ball downward the acceleration
is 9.8m/s2 because it agrees on the gravity. Example of
UAM in vertical dimension are skydiving (fig. 3) and
Figure 3
Figure 4
dropping of an apple from your hand (figure 4)
Let’s have a sample problem: Zed is playing with a ball
on top of a building but the ball feels and hit the ground
after 2.6 seconds, what is the final velocity of the ball just
before it hits the ground and how high is the building.
Given: ag = -9.8m/s2 vi= 0m/s t= 2.6 Find: vf=? and
h=?
Solution: vf = vi + agt (formula for final velocity)
0 + (-9.m/s2) * (2.6 s)
Vf = -26m/s
d= vit + ½ agt2 (formula for height/distance)
= (0m/s)*(2.6s) + ½ (-9.8m/s2) *(2.6s)
h= 33m
Learning Task 1: Answer this activity on a clean sheet
of paper.
1.Differentiate the UAM in horizontal and vertical
dimensions.
2. Write 5 examples or situation at home that shows
examples of UAM in horizontal and vertical dimensions.
Learning task 2: Solve the following problems:
-A car accelerates 3.0m/s2 from rest. After 4s. What is
the velocity and distance covered? ( Vf= vi + at) &( d=
vit +1/2 at2 (Formula you will use in problem 1)
-Upton chuck is riding a giant drop at great America. If
Upton free falls for 2/6 sec. What will be his final velocity
and how far will he fall?
(Vf= vi + at) & ( d= vit +1/2 agt2 (Formula you will use
in problem 2)

Motion) REMEMBER THIS:
MELC: Investigate the relationship between the angle of The component along the y-axis is sin 0
release and the height and range of the projectile. The component along the x- axis is cos 0

object that is thrown, or projected into the air at an angle Learning Task 1: Label the diagram of projectile motion

gravity only. A projectile is an object thrown at an angle
which the only force acting is gravity. Let us know the
parts of projectile motion launched at an angle.
Trajectory is the path followed by the projectile. Range
is the total horizontal distance covered by the projectile.
Height is the altitude distance to which the projectile
rises vertically. Maximum Height is the highest height
(peak) which the object will reach and Time of flight is
the time taken by an object to reach the maximum height Learning Task 2: Draw and explain 5 examples of UAM
or the landing point (total time). See illustrations below in projectile motions that you encountered in real life
scenario or at home.

not have any “mass in motion”. Momentum is a vector

quantity, which have both magnitude and direction. The
equation of momentum is p=mv. It illustrates that
momentum is directly proportional to an objects mass
and velocity.
Figure 2 The greater the velocity or mass, the
greater is the momentum. For stationary objects where
velocity is zero, the moemntum .is also zero. The unit of
momentum is kgm/s or Newton. For example, a
bowling ball which have a large mass (figure 1) moving
very slowly (low velocity) can have the
same momentum as a baseball which have a small

mass (figure 2) that is thrown fast (high velocity).

Impulse- is a certain amount of force you apply for a
certain amount of time to cause a change in momentum.
For example, when you hit a ball with a bat, you apply Figure3
force for a time to cause a change of momentum in the
ball. Impulse is a vector quantity. Common units of
impulse is N.s (newton per second)
Equation of Impulse is I= p = m v ( where impulse
is equal to change in momentum. Let’s have a sample
problem. Tiger woods hits a 0.02kg golf ball, giving it a
speed of 25m/s. What impulse does he impart to the
ball? Given: m= 0.02 kg v = 25m/s Find: I=?
Solution: since the ball is initially at rest, the initial energy). Objects are deformed during the collision and
velocity is zero. lose kinetic energy. Ex. Car crashed
I = m v = ( 0.02 kg) (25m/s) = 0.50 kgm/s or N 3. Perfectly Inelastic- Objects that stick together after
collision. Ex. Two clay ball colliding.
