FOURTH QUARTER/ WEEK 1/ DAY 01

Learning Target
In this module you will describe the horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile (S9FE-IVa34)

Your Lesson for Today

In this module you will…
1.1 Describe the uniformly accelerated motion (horizontal and vertical) qualitatively.
1.2 Describe uniformly accelerated motion (horizontal and vertical) quantitatively.

BRIEF DISCUSSION

In grade 7, you have learned that you can describe the motion of an object
by the distance or displacement it has covered, its speed or velocity, and
acceleration.
A moving object that has constant speed or constant velocity is said to be
non-accelerating. It means that it is not slowing down or speeding-up. While a
moving object that changes its speed, changes its direction at constant speed, or
both changing its speed and direction (velocity) is said to be accelerating.

DISCUSSIONS
Uniformly Accelerated Motion along x-axis
In today’s lesson, we will focus on uniformly accelerated motion. Let’s study the data table on the right.
The table shows the motion of a car speeding-up along a
straight road. If we are going to graph the data in a velocity vs.
time graph, we will form a slope that is linear. And this slope is
the acceleration of the car in the given time interval.
A linear slope in a velocity vs. time graph indicates an
acceleration that is constant or uniform. Uniform acceleration
shows a car where its velocity is directly proportional with time.
If we are going to solve for the value of the slope of the
graph for each time interval, we can use the equation,
∆𝑣 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦−𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦
𝑆𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑒 = ∆𝑡
= 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑎𝑙
= 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒−𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒

where the slope of the graph is acceleration.

If we are going to solve the slope of each time interval, the computed
acceleration of the car is a constant 4 m/s2. We can say that the car is
accelerating, and its acceleration is the same all throughout its journey.
Thus, we can say that the car is changing its velocity at a uniform
rate, and the change of its velocity is 4 m/s in every second. If the car’s
velocity is changing at a uniform rate, the car’s acceleration is therefore
uniform. In this case, the car has a uniform acceleration of 4 m/s2. Uniform
acceleration is also known as constant acceleration.
We can solve for the final velocity (vf), acceleration (a), time (t), and
displacement (Δx) of an object moving at uniform acceleration using the equations below.
where,
vx is final velocity along horizontal
vox is initial velocity along horizontal
t is time
ax is acceleration along horizontal
x is final position along horizontal
xo is initial position along horizontal
x-xo is displacement along horizontal

Let’s try this...

A car accelerates 5 m/s2 from rest. After 6 seconds, what is its final velocity? displacement?

Solving Process
• The first thing that we are going to do Given:
is to identify the given. Vo = 0, since the car starts from rest
a = 5 m/s2

• Then, identify what is asked a) Final velocity

b) Displacement
• Choose the equation to be used for In the table of equations for uniformly
final velocity and show the complete accelerated motion along x-axis, there are 2
solution equations we can use to solve for the final
velocity, that is equation 2 and equation 5.
But only equation 2 is workable since
equation 5 needs the value of displacement
which is also what is being asked in the
problem. Thus, we will use equation 4:
v=vo+at
V= 0 + (5 m/s2) (6 s) = 30 m/s
• Choose the equation to be used for We can solve for the displacement using
displacement and show the complete equation 3 and equation 4.
solution First rearrange equation 3 to x-xo= voxt +
½ at2
x-xo= (0)(6s) + ½ (5m/s2)(6s)2
= 90 meters

Using equation 4:x-xo= vxt – ½ at2

x-xo= (30)(6s) – ½ (5m/s2)(6s)2
= 90 meters

We are now done describing an object moving at uniform acceleration in an x-axis. Let us now
describe the motion of an object in free-fall. Free falling objects are objects who falls freely towards the ground
wherein the only force acting on them is the force due to gravity. Air friction is neglected.

Uniformly Accelerated Motion along y-axis (Free fall)

Let us assume that the car we had earlier have fallen from the cliff with the following velocity for each
second.

If we are going to plot our data in a velocity vs. time

graph, we will get a slope that is linear. A linear graph indicates a
slope that is constant. Since the slope of the velocity vs. time
graph is acceleration, we can say that the falling car has a constant acceleration or uniform acceleration.
We can prove it by solving the slope for each time interval. In this case, the computed acceleration of the
falling car for each time interval is 9.8 m/s2. This acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to pull of gravity
since the only force acting on the falling car is the gravitational force that is directed downward. Thus, the car is
in freefall with a uniform acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 directed downward. The car is changing its velocity at a constant
rate of -9.8 m/s in every second of its flight.
We can compute for the final velocity, change in position along y-axis using the equation on the right of
the figure below.

where,
vy or V is final velocity along vertical
voy or vi is initial velocity along vertical
t is time
ay is the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity or g
y is final position along the vertical
yo is initial along the vertical
y-yo is displacement along the vertical

https://slideplayer.com/slide/4172285/
Let us try to apply the equations in this situation. A pot is dropped from rest and falls freely. Determine
the position and the velocity of the pot after 2.0 s.

Solving Process
• The first thing that we are going to do Given:
is to identify the given. Vo = 0, since the pot starts from rest
a = 5 m/s2

• Then, identify what is asked a) Position

b) Final velocity
• Choose the equation to be used for In the table of equations for uniformly accelerated motion
final position and show the complete along y-axis, we can use the equation Δy=vit – 1/2gt2 to solve
solution for the position after 2 seconds. We assume that xi or initial
position is zero.
y-0= (0)(2s) - ½ (9.8 m/s2)(2s)2
= -19.6 meters, this mean that the pot is 19.6 meters
below its initial position.

• Choose the equation to be used for We can solve for the final velocity using equation vf=vi-gt
final velocity and show the complete v= 0 - (9.8 m/s2) (2 s) = -19.6 m/s, this mean that the pot is
solution falling at velocity of 19.6 m/s, downward.

EXERCISES
Practice Exercise 1
DIRECTIONS: Apply the equations for the uniform accelerated motion along the horizontal. Show
your complete solution.

1. A body that starts from rest moves to the right with an acceleration of 4 m/s2.
a. What is its velocity after 3s?
b. What is the distance covered after 3s?
c. What is the velocity of the body after it has travelled 20 m?

Practice Exercise 2
DIRECTIONS: Apply the equations for the uniform accelerated motion along the vertical. Show your
complete solution.

2. A stone was dropped from the top of the building 30 m high.

a. How long will it take the stone to reach the ground?
(Hint: Rearrange the formula equation Δy=vit – 1/2gt2)
b. What is its velocity upon reaching the ground?

APPLICATION
• Did you know that a constant zero acceleration is a special case
of uniform acceleration? It is usually used to describe the motion
of a projectile along x-axis.
• Did you know that if friction is not neglected, falling objects will
reach its terminal speed or a steady speed achieved by an object
as it falls? It occurs when the sum of the drag force and the
buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity acting on the
object. Since the net force on the object is zero, the object has
zero acceleration.
• For a ball that is thrown upward, its velocity decreases as it goes
up, since the direction of its motion is opposite the direction of
the downward force (gravitational force). At the highest point, the
velocity of the ball is zero, then it will start to go down. As it falls,
its velocity increases at a value equal to the acceleration due to
gravity.

MODULE IN SCIENCE 9
FOURTH QUARTER/ WEEK 1/ DAY 02

Learning Target

In this module you will describe the horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile.

Your Lesson for Today

In this module you will describe projectile motion qualitatively and quantitatively.

Projectile motion is combination of free fall and horizontal motions which are independent of
each other.

Have you noticed how a basketball player makes a three-point score? How would you trace
the path the ball goes? The ball is thrown with an initial velocity and travels a curved path.
An object thrown with an initial horizontal velocity and acted upon by the earth’s pull of gravity
is known as projectile. A projectile travel in a curved path called trajectory.

PATH OF AN OBJECT THROWN HORIZONTALLY

Projectiles includes objects that are thrown horizontally as well as objects that are projectile at an
angle.
A projectile launched horizontally near the surface of the earth has no initial velocity. Therefore,
its vertical motion is identical to that of a dropped object. The downward velocity increases regular
because of the constant gravitational force. Therefore, its downward acceleration is a constant equal
to g (Figure1).

Projectile motion is a combination that are completely independent of each other. Figure 2 shows that
projectile falls freely in the vertical direction, it moves at a constant velocity in the horizontal direction.
Projectiles include objects that are thrown horizontally as well as objects that are projected at an
angle such as: making a free throw in basketball, serving a volleyball, batting a baseball, and dropping
a package of relief goods from a helicopter.

Figure 2: The vertical and horizontal motions of a projectile that is projected at an angle.

MODULE IN SCIENCE 9
Fourth Quarter/ Week 1/ Day 3

In this module, you will Label a diagram illustrating projectile motion by indicating the range, height, trajectory,
initial horizontal velocity, and initial vertical velocity.

Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown (projected) into the air. After the initial force that launches
the object, it only experiences the force of gravity. The object is called a projectile, and its path is called
its trajectory.

The most important concept in projectile motion is that horizontal and vertical motions are independent,
meaning that they don’t influence one another. Figure 1 compares a cannonball in free fall to a cannonball
launched horizontally in projectile motion. You can see that the cannonball in free fall falls at the same rate as
the cannonball in projectile motion. Keep in mind that if the cannon launched the ball with any vertical component
to the velocity, the vertical displacements would not line up perfectly.

Figure 1. The diagram shows the projectile motion of a cannonball shot at a

horizontal angle versus one dropped with no horizontal velocity. Note that
both cannonballs have the same vertical position over time.

We will call the horizontal axis the x-axis and the vertical axis the y-axis. For notation, d is the total displacement,
and x and y are its components along the horizontal and vertical axes. The magnitudes of these vectors are x
and y, as illustrated in Figure 2.

As usual, we use velocity,

acceleration, and displacement to
describe motion. We must also find the
components of these variables along
the x- and y-axes. The components of
acceleration are then very simple
ay = –g = –9.80 m/s2.
Note that this definition defines the
upwards direction as positive.
Because gravity is vertical, ax = 0.

Figure 2. The total displacement s of a soccer ball at a point along its path. The vector s⃗ has components x⃗ and y⃗
along the horizontal and vertical axes. Its magnitude is s and it makes an angle Φ with the horizontal.

Teacher: ____________________________________ Section: _____________________

Figure 3. (a) We analyze two-dimensional projectile motion by breaking it

into two independent one-dimensional motions along the vertical and
horizontal axes. (b) The horizontal motion is simple because ax=0 and vx is a
constant. (c) The velocity in the vertical direction begins to decrease as the
object rises. At its highest point, the vertical velocity is zero. As the object
falls toward Earth again, the vertical velocity increases again in magnitude
but points in the opposite direction to the initial vertical velocity. (d)
The x and y motions are recombined to give the total velocity at any given
point on the trajectory.

Example:

• Figure 4 shows an airplane moving horizontally with a constant velocity of +115 m/s at an altitude of
1050 m. The directions to the right and upward have been chosen as the positive directions. The plane
releases a “care package” that falls to the ground along a curved trajectory. Use the diagram below to
label the range, height, initial horizontal velocity and initial vertical velocity.

PRACTICE EXERCISE 1: Label Me!

1. A tennis player wins a match at Arthur Ashe stadium and hits a ball into the stands at 30 m/s and at an angle
45° above the horizontal. On its way down, the ball is caught by a spectator 10 m above the point where the
ball was hit. Using the diagram, label the height, trajectory, initial horizontal velocity and initial vertical
velocity.

2. An arrow fired horizontally at 41 m/s travels 23 m horizontally before it hits the ground. Draw a diagram and label
the initial horizontal velocity, initial vertical velocity and range.

Generalization:
• In a Projectile Motion, there are two simultaneous independent rectilinear motions:
Along the x-axis: uniform velocity, responsible for the horizontal (forward) motion of the particle.
Along y-axis: uniform acceleration, responsible for the vertical (downwards) motion of the particle.
• Acceleration in the horizontal projectile motion and vertical projectile motion of a particle:
When a particle is projected in the air with some speed, the only force acting on it during its time in the
air is the acceleration due to gravity (g). This acceleration acts vertically downward. There is no
acceleration in the horizontal direction, which means that the velocity of the particle in the horizontal
direction remains constant.

• constant acceleration

Uniformly Accelerated Motion ( UAM ) Equations are as follows :

wherein :
A. vf = vi + at
B. d = ½ ( vf + vi )t vi - initial velocity ( meters per second or m/s )
C. d = vit + ½ at2 vf - final velocity ( meters per second or m/s )
d - distance covered along the x - axis ( meters or m )

DISCUSSIONS
Uniformly Accelerated Motion ( UAM ) along the y - axis is otherwise known as Free Fall. It is a motion
for objects experiencing a vertical motion either objects being thrown up or freely fallling objects.

FREE FALL - It is a very idealized motion in which air resistance is neglected and the acceleration is constant.

The equations for Free Fall is almost the same for UAM along the x - axis except for the acceleration which
will now become g ( acceleration due to gravity ) and has a constant value of - 9.8 m/s2.

TIME SYMMETRY

It means that the time required for an object to

reach the maximum height is equals to the time for
it to return from its maximum height to its starting
point.

TIME OF FLIGHT

It refers to the total time of the object that

travels from the start of release to its
return. We can say that time going up +
time going down is the actual
Time of Flight.

GENERALIZATION
• Uniformly Accelerated Motion ( UAM ) covers a horizontal and vertical motions.
• UAM along the horizontal or x - axis can be characterized by a changing velocity at a uniform rate.
• UAM along the vertical motion or y - axis is otherwise known as Free Fall.
• Free Fall is a very idealized motion in which air resistance is neglected and the acceleration is
constant.
• The value for acceleration due to gravity ( g ) is equals to - 9.8 m/s2
• Time of flight is equal to time going up plus time going down and the value of time of flight will
be used in order to solve the final velocity in Free Fall.
