The document discusses projectile motion and defines key terms like acceleration, velocity, projectile, range, and trajectory. It provides information on horizontal and vertical motion of projectiles under gravity. Formulas for calculating horizontal distance, velocity, vertical distance, and velocity of projectiles are also presented.

LESSON 1: PROJECTILE MOTION
Learning Objectives: 1. Define projectile motion. 2. Identify the different parts and dimensions of projectile motion.
Activity 1: UNLOCKING DIFFICULTIES:
DIRECTION: Match column A to column B. Write the letter of the correct answer on the blanks provided. 1. ACCELERATION ______ A. as the rate of change of the object’s position concerning a 2. VELOCITY ______ frame of reference and time. 3. PROJECTILE ______ B. The path that the projectile follows 4. RANGE ______ C. defines the horizontal distance a launched object will travel 5. TRAJECTORY ______ under the influence of gravity D. rate of change in velocity E. Any object that continues in motion by its inertia and is influenced only by the downward force of gravity. Horizontal Motion VERTICAL MOTION • If there is no force acting on an object, • An object in free fall is then it will continue moving at a constant speed in the same direction. only acted on by gravity - there will be no change in its velocity - Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 – distance covered increases with each - distance will increase the same amount Second. with each second
• Horizontal Motion – Constant, no acceleration. Projectile Calculations • Vertical Motion Fo r Pro je c tile s La u n c h e d h o rizo n ta lly – Free fall, acceleration due to gravity. Ho rizo n ta l Dista n c e d = v(t)

Ve rtic a l Ve lo c ity Vf = Vi + g t
Activity 2: DIRECTION: Read the statement in each number and identify what is being asked. Write your answer on the box provided below.
1. • What force (s) is acting on the projectile?
3. 2. 1. Any object that continues in motion by its own inertia and is influenced only by the downward force of gravity is called ____________. s
5. 4. 6.
Activity 3:
Direction: Draw vector arrows representing the (horizontal) vx and (vertical) vy velocity components during the course of the motion.
