I. Title: Second Law of Motion, Dot Product and Work

II. Type of Activity: Concept notes with formative activities

LAS for summative assessment ( Written Work Performance Task)

III. MELCs: Apply Newton’s 2nd law and kinematics to obtain quantitative and qualitative
conclusions about the velocity and acceleration of one or more bodies, and the contact and
noncontact forces acting on one or more bodies (STEM_GP12N-Ie-36). Solve problems
using Newton’s Laws of motion in contexts such as, but not limited to, ropes and pulleys, the
design of mobile sculptures, transport of loads on conveyor belts, force needed to move
stalled vehicles, determination of safe driving speeds on banked curved roads
(STEM_GP12N-Ie-38). Calculate the dot or scalar product of vectors (STEM_GP12WE-If-
40). Determine the work done by a force acting on a system (STEM_GP12WE-If-41). Define
work as a scalar or dot product of force and displacement (STEM_GP12WE-If-43).

IV. Objective/s:
Assess student’s understanding of the application of Newton’s Second
Law of Motion, Dot Product and Work.
