Week 1-2
LESSON 1: Newton's three Laws of Motion
Let's get started!
Teacher: When you ride a bicycle, your feet push on the pedals to make it move. In playing badminton, you exert force on the racket to hit the
shuttlecock, which causes it to zoom across the court suddenly. When you pull the rope in a flag ceremony, the flag rises. In each of these
activities, force and motion are involved.

What is a force? How is it related to motion? Fill out the graphic organizer below with your ideas about force and motion.

FORCE

BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Let's talk about it!

Teacher: Based on the mentioned examples, force may be defined as a


push or pull. There are two or more forces that may act on an object at
the same time. Two equal forces that act on an object in opposite
directions are called balanced forces. The sum of these forces is zero,
and they do not cause any change in the motion of an object.

However, if one of the two forces is greater than the other, the object
would move in the direction of the greater force. The sum of these
forces is not equal to zero and will cause a change in motion of the
object. These forces are called the unbalanced forces. Unbalance
forces may cause an object to start moving, change speed, stop
moving, or change direction.

Teacher: Good job!

Do you know the story wherein Sir Isaac Newton was contemplating why an apple falls from a tree to the
ground? According to the story, it was because of Newton's curiosity and amazement that he was able to
discover the relationship between motion and force. His discoveries are summarized in the three laws of
motion.

FIRST LAW: LAW OF INERTIA

The tendency of an object to persist in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line is called inertia.
It is because of this property that the following are observed:

Page | 10
De La Salle Araneta University
Pioneer in Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine
BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
1. A passenger tends to move forward when the car suddenly stops.

2. A bullet fired from a gun continues its motion if not for the resistance of air
and the pull of gravity.

3. A moving car remains in uniform motion, and it's retarded by force applied on
the brakes.

Newton's first law of motion- the law of inertia- may be stated as: Objects in
motion tend to stay in motion and objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless
acted upon by an unbalanced force.

CHECKPOINT!

5. What is inertia? How are mass and inertia related? _____________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Teacher: Good job!

SECOND LAW: LAW OF ACCELERATION


Teacher: According to Newton's first law of motion, an object will remain its state of motion unless
there is the net force acting on it. So, what will happen to an object when a net force causes the
object to accelerate? Acceleration means a change in the speed of the object, in its direction, or both
its speed and direction.

Suppose you and your friends were asked to transfer


five balikbayan boxes full of relief goods to an
evacuation center near your school. Since the
evacuation center is walking distance from your
school, you opted to use a pushcart to transfer boxes.

In doing so, you observe that the more people there


are pushing the cart, the faster the cart accelerates. This observation suggested that the greater the
force applied on the cart, the greater the acceleration of the cart. Thus, if more people join in pushing
the cart, then the cart will accelerate faster.

Page | 12
De La Salle Araneta University
Pioneer in Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine
BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Newton's second law of motion states that: the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied on it and
inversely proportional to its mass. It can be written mathematically as:
a= F net or F= m x a Sample Problem:
m How much force is needed to accelerate a
bus with a mass of 1000kg at 5m/s2?
where: S.I. Unit Given:
F= net or unbalanced force N (newton)
m= 1000kg a= 5m/s2
a= acceleration m/s2 (meter per second square)
m= mass of the body kg (kilogram) Solution:
F= m a
= (1000kg) (5m/s2)
= 5000 N

CHECKPOINT!
A. Circle the term in parentheses that best completes the statement.
1. Gravity is a (force, mass, distance )
2. As the force acting on you increases, your acceleration (increases, decreases, remains the same )
3. The unit of force is the meter, kilogram, newton )
4. If you go to the moon, your mass (increases, decreases, remains the same )
5. If there is no change in force as you increase the mass a truck is carrying, its acceleration (increases, decreases, remains the same )

B. Solve the following problem. Show your solution and box your final answer with a correct unit.
1. A force of 40.5 N is exerted on a 13.6 kg box. What is the box's acceleration?

2. What is the unbalanced force required to accelerate a 1500 kg race car at 3.3 m/s2?

3. What is the mass of a falling rock if it produces a force of 120.6 N? Note: constant acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s 2

Teacher: Good job!

THIRD LAW: LAW OF INTERACTION


The law of interaction states that: for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction

As the third law of motion states, forces always act in pairs. If there is an action force, there is
also a reaction force. Suppose you try pushing a wall. When you push against a wall, you feel a force
against in your hand. The force of the wall pushing your hand back is equal to the force you are exerting
on it. Without the force exerted by the wall on your hand, your hand would have moved through the wall.

The same holds true even when you are merely standing on the ground. Due to the gravity, you
exert a force on the ground. As a reaction, the ground pushes you back up, or else you would have moved
down to the ground. These are examples of action-reaction pairs. In an action-reaction pair, the two forces are equal but are acting in the
opposite direction.

Examples of Action-Reaction Pairs


1. Action: While swimming, you push the water backward
Reaction: the water pushes you forward

2. Action: When thrown, a bowling ball pushes the bowling pin backward
Reaction: the bowling pin pushes the bowling ball forward

3. Action: Enclosed air pushes against the balloon wall outward


Reaction: the balloon wall pushes enclosed air particles inward

4. Action: In electric fan, the wind blows on you


Reaction: force on the fan

Let's get started!


Imagine you have a friend sitting in a wagon, and you are going to
pretend that you are a horse and pull the wagon. You will pull the wagon
with a special bunjy cord puller so you can always apply the same force,
whether you are moving or standing still.

Your friend in the wagon puts his feet on the ground and won't let
you move. You pull the cord so that the nylon string just touches the
bunjy cord. How long do you think you could hold the cord tight before
you get tired? (Here you are applying a force, but you are not doing any
work.) Now your friend in the wagon lets his feet slide so you can pull just
as hard as before only now you are pulling and moving too. How long do
you think you can keep this up until you get tired?

Now you are doing work, and this takes energy. If you keep this up
for a very long distance, you would probably get winded. If your
friend lets you move very fast and you still pull with the same force,
you will get very winded. When you just pull without moving, you
are exerting a force, but you aren't doing work, so you probably
won't get tired.

If your friend held the wagon still and you tied the cord around
a tree and pulled it tight, the tree could exert the same force as you
did. Do you think the tree would get tired? The tree can exert
a force, but can the tree do work?

Let's talk about it!


In the previous lesson, the motion of an object was analyzed using Newton's three laws of motion. These laws were used to analyze and
predict the final state of the motion of an object. Acceleration was obtained by getting the quotient of the force applied and the mass of the
object. Velocity and displacement were determined using the acceleration of the object.

WORK
Most people equate work with the acts that they do: may it be cleaning the room, washing the dishes, dancing, or studying. However, in
Physics, work has a more specific definition.

Work is defined in terms of the force applied to an object and its displacement. Work is done when a force acts on an object and causes
the object to move along the direction of the force.

Three conditions must be satisfied before anyone can say that work is done on an object.
1. Force must be applied on the object
2. The object must have a displacement
3. The direction of the displacement must be a component of the force applied to the object.

CHECK POINT!
Identify whether or not work is done on the following
situations. Put a check mark (√) on the blanks if
work is done by the gravitational work. Otherwise,
put a cross mark (x).

______1. a monkey climbing up a tree.


______2. a basket lifted off the ground
______3. a girl walking up a staircase
______4. an Olympian launching a shot-put
______5. a rocket accelerating through outer
space

In equation form,

work done = force applied × distance moved


in direction of force

Where:
 force is measured in newton (N)
 distance is measured in meters (m) W= Fd W=mgd W=Fd Cosθ
 work done is measured in joules (Nm/ J)

Sample Problem:
Suppose a rightward force of 100 N is
applied to a box with a mass of 15 kg.
The box is displaced in the direction of
the force. If the box moved 5m at a
constant speed, how much work is done
on it?
Given:
F= 100N d= 5m Suppose the woman in the figure above applies a 50 N
Solution: force to a 25-kg box at an angle of 30 degrees above
the horizontal. She manages to pull the box 5 meters.
W= Fd
a) Calculate the WORK done by the woman on
= (100N) (5m) the box

POWER

When you climb the stairs by walking, you do it more slowly than when you do run. So, the difference in your actions is the time spent to
finish the work. When you involve time in comparing the amount of work done, you are looking at the power spent in doing work.

If you run going up the stairs instead of walking, you have more power because you are doing work rapidly. If your rate of doing work is
doubled, it delivers twice as much power, but it does not necessarily do twice as much as work. Twice the power means doing the same
amount of work at half the time or doing twice the work at the same time.

Power is the amount of work done in a unit of time. The equation represents it as:

Power= Work Power= force x displacement


Time time

Where: SI UNIT
W= work (J) joules
t= time (s) seconds
F= force (N) newton
d= displacement (m) meter
P= power (W) watts

This equation shows that a powerful object is both fast and robust. A car, a person, or a machine must be fast and robust to be powerful.

As implied by definition, power has the unit joule per second (J/s). One joule per second is also equivalent to one watt (W). Power is
directly proportional to time. An object that performs more work in less amount of time has more power. So, between two cars, the car that
could accelerate in a shorter time interval has more power.

ENERGY
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Energy exists in different forms.

In this lesson, we will focus on the energy derived from mechanical means known as mechanical energy. There are two types of
mechanical energy: kinetic energy and potential energy.

KINETIC ENERGY
The energy that you possess when you are doing your activities is kinetic energy. Kinetic energy (K.E.) is referred to as energy in motion.
This means that the greater the movement of an object, the greater is its kinetic energy. Its speed can measure an object's motion; therefore,
speed is a factor that determines an object's kinetic energy. It can be expressed as:

KE= ½ mv2
Where:
KE= kinetic energy of an object (N.m or J)
m= mass of the object (kg)
v= speed of the object (m/s)

Sample Problem:
A 30 kg motorcycle is traveling with
a velocity of 5 m/s. What is its kinetic
energy at this velocity?

Solution:
KE = ½ mv2
= ½ (30kg) (5m/s)2
= ½ (30 kg) (25 m2/s2)

= 375 J

2. What is the kinetic energy of a 200 kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 12.0 m/s?

Teacher: Good Job!

POTENTIAL ENERGY
Potential Energy (P.E.) is the energy associated with an object's position or configuration. The greater the distance of the object from a
reference point, the higher its potential energy.

There are many types of potential energy. Two of these types are the elastic potential
energy and gravitational potential energy.

Elastic Potential Energy is the energy stored in an elastic material such as rubber
band and spring. These materials are elastic because they can be deformed or
stretched and then return to their original state. When an arrow is pulled in a bow,
elastic potential energy is stored in the bow.
Page | 32
De La Salle Araneta University
Pioneer in Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine
BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) is the energy stored in an object as a result of its position from the ground. This is stored due to the
gravitational pull of the Earth on an object. It is directly dependent on the weight (mg) of the object and its position from the ground or its
height (h).

PE= mgh

Where:
PE= potential energy of an object expressed (N.m or J)
m= mass of the object (kg)
g= acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s2)
h= height (distance) from reference point (m)

Sample Problem:
A 1 kg durian fruit was raised from the
ground. How much potential energy does it
have when lifted 20.0m?

Solution:
PE= mgh
= (1 kg) (9.8 m/s2) (20.0 m)

Let's talk about it!


Temperature
Temperature is qualitatively described as hot or cold. Many objects can be described in terms of
temperature. Lukewarm, warm, chilly, and cold are some terms used to describe the temperature of an
object. In science, the temperature is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy of the molecules
of an object—the higher the average translational kinetic energy of the molecules, the higher the object's
temperature.

Temperature is measured in different scales using a thermometer or a thermal meter. Galileo Galilei
pioneered this device in 1602. Thermometers are classified according to their use. Thermometers that are
used in hospitals and clinics are called clinical thermometers, while thermometers that are used in getting the
temperatures of different substances are called laboratory thermometers.

Clinical thermometer

Laboratory thermometer

Thermometers are classified according to the substance used, which respond to heat. Examples are mercury thermometers, alcohol
thermometers, and thermocouple thermometers. Infrared thermometers are used for measuring very high temperatures.

The table shows the difference between mercury and alcohol thermometers.

MERCURY ALCOHOL

Visible meniscus Needs to be dyed
Reacts quickly Slow to react
Boiling point: 3750 C Boiling point: 780 C
Freezing point: -390 C Freezing point: 150 C
Expands uniformly Expands non-uniformly

Temperature is commonly measured in degrees Celsius (0C). In


some places, the unit degrees Fahrenheit (0F) is also used. However,
for measurements used in scientific applications, the temperature is
commonly expressed using the unit Kelvin (K), which is the S.I. Unit for
temperature.

The Kelvin scale is calibrated based on the energy of the molecules.


The term absolute zero is given to the lowest possible temperature for
the Kelvin scale, which means that energy ceases at that temperature.

You can convert temperature readings from one unit to another


using the following conversion formulas:

2. 108 0C= ________ 0C 5. 56.10 0F = ________ K

3. 455 0C = ________ K

Heat is the energy transferred from one object to another due to the difference in the object's temperatures. Heat travels from an object
with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature. For example, heat will travel from the boiling water to the ice since boiling
water has a higher temperature than the ice.

BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

All objects are made up of atoms and molecules. These particles, when heated,
move rapidly. It is the rapid movement that increases their kinetic energy. As a
result, the object expands. In general, all objects expand when heated and contract
when cooled. The expansion of objects happens in a three-dimensional scale and
may not be noticeable unless one takes measurements before and after the object is
exposed to heat. Therefore, metals are installed during the construction of bridges.
These metals are called expansion joints. They are installed to provide bridges and
allow them to expand. Since the expansion is three dimensional, bridges may
develop cracks.

Life Lessons
Our normal body functions at an average temperature of 37 0C or 98.6 0F. Our bodily operations
depend on blood circulation and many chemical reactions that occur in our system. The human body has
natural ways of gaining or losing heat to maintain normal body temperature. When the body is subjected to
much work, it causes the body's temperature to rise; hence, the body compensates by getting rid of the
excess heat. Once there are an increase in the body's temperature, the heart rate increases, and the blood
vessels expand to deliver more blood to the outer layers of the skin. In the skin, this is where heat is
dissipated through sweating. If sweating progress further, there will be less blood that will go to other parts
of the body like the muscles and vital organs, and this will lead to heat stress. It is, therefore, important to
always replenish the loss fluids so that we avoid heat-related illnesses.

Let's talk about it!


CURRENT: Electric Charge in Motion
Do you know that an electric charge can flow through a conductor? Materials that allow current to flow easily
are called conductors, while those do not allow current to flow are called insulators.

There is another set of materials that are sometimes classified as either conductors or insulators. These
materials are called semiconductors. Their ability to conduct or insulate current depends on the degree of their purity.
These semiconductors are widely used in electronic industries.

The flow of charge is called current. Current (I) is defined as the net amount of charge that flows through a
conductor's cross-sectional area per unit time. The unit for current is ampere (A). An ammeter is a device used in measuring the current
through the load or resistor.
I= charge
time

VOLTAGE
Electrical potential energy is possessed by an electric charge that is placed in an electric field that required work. The work done in
placing the electric charge in the electric field is equivalent to its electrical potential energy. The electrical potential is called voltage.

Electrical potential = electrical potential energy


charge

The voltage or electrical potential is measured using a device called a voltmeter. Voltage is expressed in volts
(V). If you are using an analog voltmeter, the voltage reading is obtained through dial with a pointer, while a
digital voltmeter has a digital readout.

De La Salle Araneta University
Pioneer in Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine
BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

RESISTANCE
Current flows through a conductor with some degree of resistance. The flow does not depend on the voltage alone but also on how the
conductor resists the flow of electric charge. The opposition to the flow of electric charge is called resistance. Resistance is expressed in
ohms whose symbol is Ω, the Greek capital letter omega.

Some materials are more conductive than others. Thicker wires have less resistance, while longer wires have more resistance than
shorter ones. Temperatures are also affecting a wire's resistance. Increased temperature means increased resistance.

Wire resistance greater for:


1) Longer wires
2) Thinner wires
3) Higher temperatures

OHM'S LAW

Georg Simon Ohm is a German physicist and mathematician. He studied the relationship between current and
voltage. He found out that current and voltage are directly proportional to one another, and their ratio is equal to a
constant, R, which is the resistance of the material:

Resistance = Voltage

ELECTRIC CIRCUIT
Any complete path for charges to flow is an electric circuit. For electrons to
move continuously, there must be a continuous and unbroken path for them to pass
through. A simple circuit is composed of a source, path (connecting wire), load, and
control.
1. source- this supplies the electrical energy. Batteries, solar cells, and
generators are sources of electric energy.
2. path- this serves as a passageway of electric energy. A wire is the primary
conducting path in a simple circuit. It connects the source and the load.
3. load- this converts electric energy to other forms of energy. Resistor,
lightbulbs, and home appliances are some examples of the load.
4. control- this serves as the means of controlling the amount of current that
flows in the electric circuit. Examples of control include switches and circuit breakers,
which regulate the flow of charge.

A circuit
connection can be
drawn schematically as
a circuit diagram.
Instead of drawing the
actual components in a
circuit, simple circuit
symbols can be used.

SERIES AND PARALLEL CONNECTION

Page | 58
De La Salle Araneta University
Pioneer in Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine
BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

An electric circuit whose components are arranged to allow current to flow through one
single path is referred to as a series circuit. The following rules govern this circuit:
1. The current in the circuit is constant. This means that the current in all parts of the
circuit is the same.
2. The total voltage in the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltages across
the components of the circuit.
3. The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual
resistances.

A series connection is not typically used in a household circuit, because if any of the electrical appliances are broken, none of the other
appliances will function. Also, in a series circuit, if you increase the electrical devices in the connection, the current flowing through the entire
circuit is reduced due to the increase in resistance.

In a parallel circuit, there are multiple pathways by which current can flow. The connection of the
resistors (appliances) shows that there is a point in the circuit where the wires branch off from each other
the following rules govern the parallel circuit:
1. The voltage across all the branches in a parallel circuit is the same in each branch.
2. The total current in a parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the currents in each branch.

In a parallel circuit, when one bulb fails, the rest of the circuit continues to work. Voltage in each branch
is the same as the supply voltage; therefore, bulbs in parallel will each be as bright as a single bulb.

Electricity: Its Dangers at Home

Page | 59
De La Salle Araneta University
Pioneer in Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine
BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Electricity is essential in our daily activities. It is used to make appliances and other electrical devices work. However, electricity also
poses a danger, which may lead to fire, injuries, and even death. Thus, proper handling and usage of electrical appliances and devices should
always be observed.
1. A multiple wire connection because of increased electrical components is known as octopus
wiring. Octopus wiring may cause or lead to circuit overloading. To prevent overloading, do not connect
many electrical loads to a single source

2. A short circuit occurs when the path of current in the circuit is "shortened." In this case, the
electrons flow in the portion with lower or no resistance instead of passing through the load. This, in turn,
causes overheating in the portion with low resistance. This may burn the cords of appliances or, worst, an
entire house.
3. In houses, safety devices are installed to prevent the hazardous effect of faulty electrical wirings.
Devices such as fuse, circuit breakers, and grounds are placed to remediate the effect of faulty electrical
wirings.

An electric _________________ is a flow of electricity though a material. Materials that allow electricity to flow through them are called
_________________. An electric _________________ is a path through which electric currents flow. To start the current flowing, circuit
needs a _________________ source such as a _________________.

Many circuits have a _________________, which is a device to open and close the circuit. When the circuit is _________________, the
electric current does not flow When the circuit is _________________, current does flow.

Circuits also have _________________, which are objects that resist the flow of electricity. Resistors can be used to transform electrical
energy into other forms of energy such as _________________ or light. A light bulb is a resistor that transforms electrical energy into light
energy.

Without resistors, electricity can travel too quickly through a circuit damaging the parts of the circuit. When this happens, it is called a
_________________ circuit. A _________________ is a safety device that prevents short circuits by breaking the circuit when too much
current is traveling through it.
