Objectives

1) The learners demonstrate understanding of uniformly accelerated motion, motion in two-dimensions using projectile motion.

2) The learners should be able to propose ways to enhance sports related to projectile motion

3) Investigate the relationship between the angle of release and the height and range of the projectile

Velocity

Speedometer

Is an instrument that indicates the speed of a vehicle, usually combined with a device known as an odometer that records the distance traveled.

Assume that you’re riding a taxi and observe these speedometer readings.

Time Speedometer Reading

After 3 minutes 40 km/h

After 4 minutes 45km/h

After 5 minutes 50km/h

In Uniformly Accelerated Motion or UAM, the value of acceleration is constant. It does not change. The velocity changes but at a constant rate.
An object with zero acceleration is said to be in uniform motion. An object in uniformly accelerated motion has non-zero but constant
acceleration.

Acceleration represents how velocity changes with time, velocity represents how position changes with time

Grab anything and toss it upward.

Observe!

Gravity

The force that pull the object down to the ground.

Every object feels this force, so it is a universal force. The force is always attractive; it is always a pull, never a push.

Free fall

Objects at free fall also exhibit uniformly accelerated motion.

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2 neglecting air resistance.
In general, a uniformly accelerated motion is the one in whuch the acceleration of a body throughout the motion is uniform. It can be observed
in either vertical or horizontal dimension, and in two dimensions.

ACTIVITY

Analyze and identify if the given illustration exhibit a Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM) or not
