5 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

6 HOST : So, how’s your score? For those who got 8-10, a big congratulations.

7 For those who got 5 – 7, good job. And for those who got 4 and below,

8 that was indeed a good try. Don’t worry, Teacher ______ is here to help

9 you.

10 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

11 HOST : At this point, I would like you to take your Self-Learning Module for

12 the lesson on Projectile Motion. I repeat, our lesson for today is about

13 Projectile Motion. All right? Get your Self-Learning Module now.

14 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

15 HOST : To start with, I want you to imagine throwing a ball to someone.

16 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

17 HOST : As that ball travels horizontally through the air, it also travels

18 vertically because of the effects of the force of gravity.

19 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

20 HOST : In this module, you will examine the more general motion of objects

21 moving through the air in two dimensions near the Earth’s surface.

22 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

23 HOST : You are expected to deduce the consequences of the independence of

24 vertical and horizontal components of projectile motion

25 (STEM_GP12KIN-Ic-22); calculate range, time of flight, and maximum

26 heights of projectiles (STEM_GP12KIN-Ic-23); and solve problems

27 involving two-dimensional motion (STEM_GP12KIN-Ic-26).

28 Specifically, you are to define projectile and projectile motion; describe

29 and analyze quantitatively the vertical and horizontal components of

30 projectile motion; describe what happens to the projectile before,

31 during, and after its motion; calculate range, time of flight, and

32 maximum heights of projectiles; and solve problems involving

444...Projectile Motion
3 HOST : I am hoping that you have your Self-Instructional Module with you

4 now so you can follow me. Now, let me ask you, is a thrown or batted

5 baseball an example of a projectile motion? How about a kicked football,

6 or a speeding bullet, or an athlete doing the long jump or high jump?

7 You will find out the answers as you go through this module. Are you all

8 guys ready? If you are ready, everyone, this is our lesson for today.

11 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

12 RADIO TEACHER: Galileo Galilei claimed that all objects, light or heavy, fall

13 with the same acceleration, at least in the absence of air. To prove his

14 hypothesis and as a review, I want you to look for two coins of unequal

15 sizes (preferably a 50-cent coin and a one-peso coin).

16 BIZ : MSC (1 minute)

17 RADIO TEACHER: You have to hold the two coins between your thumb and

18 your index finger with the lower levels of the coins at the same level.

19 Which do you think between that two coins will hit the floor first? I will

20 give you your time for you to write down your “honest” predictions and

21 your reasons on your science journal notebook.

22 BIZ : MSC (1 minute)

23 RADIO TEACHER: That’s it! Now, I want you to let go of the two coins. You

24 have to repeat that step until you can draw a conclusion. Then, write

25 your conclusion on your science journal notebook.

26 BIZ : MSC (1 minute)

27 RADIO TEACHER: So, what can you say about Galileo’s hypothesis? (PAUSE)

28 This time, I want you to look for these following small objects: a

29 ballpen or a pencil, crumpled piece of paper, and a coin. Again, a

30 ballpen or a pencil, crumpled piece of paper, and a coin. I will just give

31 you 1-minute to look for those items. Your one minute starts now.

2 RADIO TEACHER: So, time is up. Hopefully, you have those objects already

3 just beside you. Now, with caution, and requesting also our dear

4 parents to please supervise your children in doing this, I want you to

5 throw gently, first, the ballpen or the pencil; second, the crumpled

6 piece of paper; and lastly, the coin. Again, with caution, I want you to

7 throw gently, first, the ballpen or the pencil; second, the crumpled

8 piece of paper; and lastly, the coin. I will give you again just 1-minute

9 to perform that activity. Your one minute starts now.

10 BIZ : MSC (1 minute)

11 BIZ : (Alarm bell rings)

12 RADIO TEACHER: Time is up. Hopefully, everything is fine there. Now, reflect

13 on this question: What have you observed after throwing those objects?

14 (PAUSE)

15 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

16 RADIO TEACHER: Children, you have just seen examples of projectile motion.

17 You will apply what you have learned so far about constant velocity

18 motion, uniformly accelerated motion, vectors, and 2D kinematics to

19 the study of projectiles.

20 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

21 RADIO TEACHER: So, what is really a projectile?

22 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

23 RADIO TEACHER: A projectile is an object launched into unpowered flight near

24 the Earth’s surface. While real projectiles have a finite size, an internal

25 structure, and may be affected by air resistance, the term “projectile

26 motion” is often used to refer to motion influenced by gravity only.

27 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

28 RADIO TEACHER: Please turn your module on page 11 and I want you to

29 examine the figure given at the bottom of that page. (PAUSE)

30 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

31 RADIO TEACHER: The velocity vector, v, at each instant points in the direction

32 of the motion at that instant and is always tangent to the path. “v” sub “y”

2
 1 is initially zero but increases continually in the downward direction until

2 the object hits the ground. In horizontal direction, there is no

3 acceleration. So, “v” sub “x” remains constant.

4 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

666...Projectile Motion
5 RADIO TEACHER: Galileo first accurately described projectile motion. He

6 showed that it could be understood by analyzing the horizontal and

7 vertical components of the motion separately. He also predicted that an

8 object projected horizontally will reach the ground in the same time as

9 an object dropped vertically.

10 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

11 RADIO TEACHER: Now, I want you to please turn your module on page 12 and

12 I want you to examine another figure given at the bottom of that page.

13 (PAUSE)

14 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

15 RADIO TEACHER: That diagram depicts the motion of an object that is

16 projected at an upward angle.

17 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

18 RADIO TEACHER: This time, I want you to examine it and reflect on these

19 following questions.

20 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

21 RADIO TEACHER: Does the initial velocity have both “x” and “y” component?

22 BIZ : MSC (10 seconds)

23 RADIO TEACHER: What is the value of “v” sub “y” when the object reaches the

24 highest point on its path?

25 BIZ : MSC (10 seconds)

26 RADIO TEACHER: What have you observed in the direction of “v” sub “y” as the

27 object travels on its path?

28 BIZ : MSC (10 seconds)

29 RADIO TEACHER: What have you observed in the direction of “v” sub “x” as the

30 object travels on its path?

31 BIZ : MSC (10 seconds)

32 RADIO TEACHER: We now work through several examples of projectile motion

 1 quantitatively.

2 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER 777...Projectile Motion

3 RADIO TEACHER: But before that, please turn your module on page 13 and

4 please familiarize all those given Kinematic Equations for Projectile

5 Motion both for horizontal and vertical motions. I will give you 3 minutes

6 for you to do that. Your five minutes starts now.

7 BIZ : MSC (3 minutes)

8 BIZ : (Alarm bell rings)

9 RADIO TEACHER: Time is up! Hopefully, that doesn’t give you a hard time. As

10 always, in solving problems, read carefully and draw a careful diagram.

11 Please remember these following pointers.

12 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

13 RADIO TEACHER: Choose an origin and an xy coordinate system.

14 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

15 RADIO TEACHER: Analyze the horizontal (x) motion and the vertical (y) motion

16 separately. If you are given the initial velocity, you may want to resolve

17 it into its x and y components.

18 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

19 RADIO TEACHER: List the known and unknown quantities, choosing and,

20 where depending on whether you choose y positive up or down.

21 Remember that that never changes throughout the trajectory, and that

22 at the highest point of any trajectory that returns downward. The

23 velocity just before hitting the ground is generally not zero.

24 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

25 RADIO TEACHER: Think for a minute before jumping into the equations. A

26 little

27 planning goes a long way. Apply relevant equations, combining

28 equations if necessary. You may need to combine components of a

29 vector to get magnitude and direction.

30 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

31 RADIO TEACHER: Let’s try this simple example.

32 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

 1 RADIO TEACHER: A mountaineer on his motorcycle speeds horizontally off a

2 50.0-m-high Sanchez Peak cliff. How fast must the motorcycle leave

3 the cliff-top if it is to land on level ground below, 90.0 m from the base

4 of the cliff where the cameras are?

5 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER 888...Projectile Motion

6 RADIO TEACHER: To solve this problem, first, we have to cite all the given

7 values.

8 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

9 RADIO TEACHER: We take the “y” direction to be positive upward. “y” sub zero

10 equals zero. We also have “y” which is equal to negative 50 meters. And,

11 lastly, we have “x” which equals to 90 meters.

12 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

13 RADIO TEACHER: Next, is to cite the variable that the problem requires us to

14 find a value. The question in our problem is “How fast must the

15 motorcycle leave the cliff-top?” Therefore, we have to find the value of

16 the initial “x” velocity or “v” sub “x” “zero” in meters per second.

17 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

18 RADIO TEACHER: Here is our solution.

19 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

20 RADIO TEACHER: First, find how long it takes the motorcycle to reach the

21 ground below. Use equation B for the vertical (y) direction with “y” sub

22 zero equals zero, and “v” sub “y” zero equals zero.

23 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

24 RADIO TEACHER: So, y equals negative one half, times “g”, times “t” squared.

25 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

26 RADIO TEACHER: Solve for “t” and set “y” to negative 50 meters.

27 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

28 RADIO TEACHER: “t” equals the square root of two “y” divided by negative “g”.

29 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

30 RADIO TEACHER: Substitute values to our given equation. That becomes, “t”

31 equals the square root of two, times negative 50 meters, divided by

32 negative 9.80 meters per second squared. That yields us to 3.19

 1 seconds.

2 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

3 RADIO TEACHER: To calculate the initial “x” velocity, use equation B for the

4 horizontal (x) direction, with “a” sub “x” equals 0 and “x” sub zero

5 equals zero.

6 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER 999...Projectile Motion

7 RADIO TEACHER: So, “x” equals to “v” sub “x” zero, times “t”.

8 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

9 RADIO TEACHER: Derive a formula out of that formula, so, “v” sub “x” zero equals

10 “x” divided by “t”. Substitute values to our given equation. “v” sub “x” zero

11 equals 90 meters divided by 3.19 seconds and that equals to 28.2 meters per

12 second.

13 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

14 RADIO TEACHER: Children, our final answer is 28.2 meters per second

15 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

16 RADIO TEACHER: Hopefully, that sounds clear to everybody. You can actually

17 review it by yourself and I want you also to study thoroughly examples

18 2 and three in your module.

19 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

20 HOST : And now, we are done.

21 BIZ : MSC UP AND UNDER

22 HOST : We finished another lesson. To reinforce your learning on today’s

23 lesson, please don’t forget to answer the problem in the “Additional

24 Activities” section of your module.
