This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the Learner:
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an active
learner.
PRETEST
3. Based on Galileo’s experiment, how far would a ball thrown down on an inclined
plane could roll up another inclined plane?
a. to nearly its original height
b. to nearly twice its original height.
c. to about one quarter its original height
d. the ball would not roll up the other plane at all
4. The law of inertia states that an object __.
a. will continue moving at the same velocity unless an outside force act on it.
b. will continue moving in a straight line unless an outside force act on it.
c. that is not moving will be at rest unless force acts on it
d. all of the above.
5. After a cannonball is fired into frictionless space, the amount of force needed to
keep it going equals ___.
RECAP
We are done discussing and explaining how Brahe’s collection of data helped
Kepler develop his three laws of planetary motion. Now, move your arms and dive in
to this short minds-on activity. Write T if the statement is TRUE and F if it is FALSE.
Aristotle further believed that in the absence of an external force, any moving
body will ultimately come to rest. Many were inclined to believe Aristotle’s
commonsense ideas about moving objects. They agreed based on their observations
from everyday experiences. In some respects, he was right, as we know from
observations that a body at rest will not move unless a force is continuously applied
to it. However, there are also some cases of bodies which continue to move even
without the force acting on them.
Galileo did not attempt though to explain why a body keeps on moving at a
constant velocity along a straight line. He simply showed that it is natural for a
moving body to do so, just as it is for a stationary body to remain at rest. This natural
tendency of the body is called inertia. Inertia is the tendency of a body to
maintain its state of rest or of uniform speed along a straight line.

Aristotle Inertia Speed
Galileo Free Fall
