Good afternoon class!
Good afternoon sir!
Who will lead the prayer today?
Okay student A.
 Our most gracious and kind heavenly father …
AMEN.
Good afternoon class!
B. Motivation Good afternoon sir!
Before we start our lesson today. Let’s have an
activity first. Do you know the game word
storm?
Yes, Sir! Similar to the crossword puzzle sir.
Yeah, that’s god but this time instead of listed
words, pictures will give you clues. I will give
you 15 minutes to do that. Be ready to share to
the class what you know about each word or
term.

Okay class time is up!

Who can tell me what is the first picture?
Displacement sir!
Very good! Now, what is displacement?
A displacement is a vector where length is the
shortest distance from the initial to the final
position of point.
That is correct. Meaning if the car travel a
curved path the shortest distance can be
travel of the car.
 Also Sir, distance is the total path traversed
by an object moving from one location to
another.
Now, what is the second picture?
Gravity Sir!
Very good, then who can tell me what is
gravity?
Gravity Sir is the attraction of bodies toward
the center of the earth, the moon or a planet.
Very good!
How about the third picture?
Horizontal Sir!
That is correct!
Now, what is horizontal?
Horizontal Sir is positioned from side to side
rather than up and down; parallel to the
ground.
Very good! Now, how about the fourth
picture?
Vertical Sir!
Very good! Then, what is vertical?
Vertical is positioned up and down rather
than from side to side; going straight up.
Now, the fifth picture?
Trajectory Sir!
Then, who can tell me what is trajectory?
Trajectory is a projectile travel in a curved
path.
That is correct! Then, the sixth picture?
Projectile Sir!
Then, what is projectile?
Projectile is an object thrown with an initial
horizontal velocity and acted upon by the
earth’s pull of gravity.
That is correct! Now, the last picture?
Velocity Sir!

Very god, now what is velocity?

 The velocity of an object is the rate of change
of its position with respect to time.
Very good class!
C. Unlocking of Difficulties/ Review of
pre-requisite knowledge

Now, let’s talk about kinematics equation.

Who can give the formula of velocity?
Sir! V= d / t
Where v = velocity, d = displacement, t = time
Correct! Now then if we derive the equation
from the velocity we can get displacement.
Who can derive? Yes, Student B, go to the
board then explain.
From the equation v = d / t, using Algebra, use
cross multiplication we can get d = vt.
Then, how about in getting time t?
Sir, using Algebra by cross multiplaction we
can get v = d / t to time into t = d / v.
Very good! That is correct, if we want to get
time t, we can derived the equation into
t = Vf – Vi / a

From a = Vf – Vi / t
(t)(a) - Vf – Vi / t (t)
ta / a = Vf – Vi / a
t = Vf – Vi / a

Any questions class?

None Sir!
Then in your notebook from the equation
a = Vf – Vi / t , derive the equation on getting
final velocity Vf.
a = Vf -Vi / t
(t)(a) = Vf - Vi / t (t)
at = Vf - Vi
at + Vi = Vf
Vf = at + Vi
 Then how about initial velocity?
a = Vf – Vi / t
a(t) = Vf - Vi / t
at = Vf – Vi
at – Vf = Vi
Vi = at - Vf
Very good class! Are there any questions?
None sir!
Then I know that everybody knows what
gravity is?
Yes, Sir!
Then what is gravity?
Gravity Sir is the attraction of bodies toward
the center of the earth, moon or planet.
Thank you! Yes, class gravity is very
important to all living and non-living things
here in the world. Because if there is no
gravity here in the Earth what would happen
to the planet? The beautiful ocean? Fishes?
Horses, the birds, and whatever living things
in the Earth? What would happen?
It will all float Sir!
Yes! It will float. Everything will float, that is
why gravity is very essential and very
important to all living and non-living here in
planet Earth.

By the way, are you all aware that we have a

constant acceleration due to gravity of the
Earth?
Yes, Sir!
And what is that?
It is 9.8 m/s2.
Very good class! Okay, close your eyes and
imagine that you place yourself in the highest
building here on Earth. Or the tallest building
here in the Earth which is the twin tower and
you place yourself in the rooftop and holding
a ball with larger mass and a ball with smaller
mass. Then you will drop the balls together.
And now open your eyes.

And here’s my question what would happen

to the velocity of the small mass? Decreasing?
Increasing? Or same?
(Students chorusing about the large mass ball
will go first.)
Okay, let’s see if that is correct, we will have
an illustration. Can we have one volunteer
from the class?
(Student C went to the front.)
Thank you! Now, we have a book here and a
paper. What will look likely the first to fall?
The book or the paper?

Why?
Because it has more mass than the paper.
Okay, let’s try (The student drop the objects)
Did you see class?
Yes! The book is first reaching the ground.
How about we crumble the paper and then
do again, what do you think?
(They were shocked that the two objects
were reach the ground at the same time.)
See? They reached the ground at the same
time. Why is that so? Anyone can explain to
me what happened? Let me ask you student
D.
Sir! They reached the sound at the same time
because the surface area of the paper was
lessen and regarding with its mass it doesn’t
matter. Because the air resistance too was and
also the acceleration due to gravity of the
Earth were the same. That is why both of
them reach the ground at the same time.
 Very good!

D. Lesson Proper
Now, have you noticed how basketball makes
a three -point score? Or how the soccer
player will kick the ball?
Yes, Sir!
How would you trace the path of the ball?
Okay, look at this picture. Which do take the
path from the basketball layer to shoot the
ball? A? or B?

Of course Sir! Letter A!

Why?
Because letter B is impossible to begin with.
Haha! Yeah. That’s true. Well, thank you!
How about this one? Which path would the
soccer player if he kicks the ball A? B? C?

Letter A Sir!
Yes, letter A, Why?

Because it’s the normal way we observed in

watching soccer.
These motion is called Projectile motion
Everyone read.
Projectile motion is an object thrown with an
initial horizontal velocity and acted upon by
the earth’s pull of gravity.
 It also moves in two dimensions having both
horizontal and vertical motion components,
acted by gravity only.
So, Projectile motion moves two dimensions
which is?
Horizontal and vertical Sir!
Very good, continue reading.
Trajectory, a projectile travel in a curved
path.
Horizontal motion, motion of a ball rolling
freely along a level surface.
Horizontal velocity is always constant.
Vertical, motion of a freely falling object.
Force due to gravity.
Vertical component of velocity changes with
time.
Parabolic, path travel by an object
accelerating only in the vertical direction
while moving at constant horizontal velocity.
Thank you class. Meaning,

Launch horizontally.
 Vertical
Voy = 0 (velocity along y axis)
dy = ½ gt2 (dy = displacement along y)
(g =gravity = -9.8 m/s2)
(t = time)
Vy = gt
Vy = √2𝑔𝑑𝑦

Horizontal
Vox = Vx (Horizontal is constant)
dx = Vxt ( dx = displacement along x-axis)
(Vx = velocity along x-axis)
(t = time)

Launch at an Angle

Vertical
Voy = VosinƟ
dy = vot + gt2 /2
Vy = voy + gt
At max height
Vy = 0
Dy = Vy2 + Voy2 / 2g

Horizontal
Vox = Vx = VocosƟ
dx = Vxt
t = time of flight

For example
A plane traveling with horizontal velocity of
100 m/s is 500 m above the ground. At some
point the pilot decides to drop some supplies
to designated target below.
a.) How long is the drop in the air?
b.) How far away from point where it
was launched will it land?

Give the given class.

Vox = 100 m/s
dy = 500 m or – 500 m
Voy = 0 m/s
g = -9.8 m/s2
t= ?
dx = ?
Okay, student F please try to answer. Hint
get the time first.
dy = ½ gt2
2dy / g= gt2 /g

2𝑑𝑦
√ = √𝑡 2
𝑔

2𝑑𝑦
t=√ 𝑔

2(−500 𝑚)
then, t = √−9.8 𝑚/𝑠^2

Very good! After that the dx? Student G

please answer it in the board.
dx = Voxt
= 100 m/s (10.1 s)
dx = 1010 m.
Here’s another one, a conceptual problem.
Mr. Kevin and Keyvien dive off an overhang
into a pool. Kevin drops straight down while
Keyvien runs off the overhang with an initial
speed horizontal speed. Is the splash down
speed of Keyvien greater than or less than or
equal to the splash down speed of Kevin?
Sir! The speed of Keyvein is greater than that
of Kevin.
 Very good class! Are there any questions?
None Sir!
Let’s try to focus in angles. When a projectile
is fired with an initial velocity (vi) at an angle
Ɵ (theta) above the horizontal, the initial
velocity can be resolved into rectangular
components, that is
Vix = Vicos Ɵ
Viy = Visin Ɵ

Projectiles always experience a constant

vertical acceleration due to the pull of gravity
as they rise and fall.
Furthermore, the vertical displacement and
the vertical velocity can be solved by using
the formula of uniformly accelerated motion,
then who can tell me what is the formula of
displacement along y?
dy = Viy + gt2 /2

Very good!
From that equation,
Dy = Vfy2 – Viy2 / 2g
Vfy = Viy + gt

As the projectile rises it decreases it vertical

and at the peak of the trajectory it becomes
zero. Thus, the time for the projectile to rise
can be solved by the equation
Vfy = Viy – gt
Where Vfy = 0
Viy = Vi sin Ɵ
In your note book derive the equation to get
the t and substitute some equations to arrive a
certain formula.
t = Viy / gt
t = Visin Ɵ /g

For a projectile, beginning and ending at the

same height, the time it takes to rise to its
 highest point is equal to the time it takes to
fall the highest point back to the original
point of projection.
To find the total time t of flight that a
projectile is in the air. Simply, double the time
it takes a projectile to rise.
So total time = 2t
= 2Viy / g
T = 2Vi sin Ɵ / g
Then in your notebook get the maximum
height.

The maximum height (dy) can be calculated

by considering the downward motion of
projectile wherein Vi = 0 (upon the peak)
dy = Viy + gt2/2
= + gt2 / 2
= ½ (g)(Viy /g)2
dy = (Visin Ɵ) 2 / 2g
Very good! The horizontal displacement
known as the range of the projectile is the
product of the horizontal velocity and the
total time of flight.
R = Vixt
= (Vicos Ɵ)(2Visin Ɵ / g)
= Vi22cos Ɵsin Ɵ / g
Remember: sin2 Ɵ = 2cos Ɵsin Ɵ
(trigonometric function) then,
R = Vi2 sin 2 Ɵ / g

Are there any questions?

None Sir!
E. Summary
Who can tell me what did you learn today?

We learn a lot Sir! Like a lot. We learn that

projectile motion moves in two dimension
which is Horizontal and vertical Horizontal
is always constant unlike in vertical always
 changes. Also, Kinematics equation were
used in solving word problems in real-world
scenarios.
The formulas are the following;
Vy = √2𝑔𝑑𝑦
Vox = Vx
dx = Vxt
Voy = VosinƟ
dy = vot + gt2 /2
Vy = voy + gt
Dy = Vy2 + Voy2 / 2g
Vox = Vx = VocosƟ
dx = Vxt
Vix = Vicos Ɵ
Viy = Visin Ɵ
Vfy = Viy + gt
R = Vixt
R = Vi2 sin 2 Ɵ / g
a = Vf – Vi / t

Thank you class! Are there any questions?
