RECAP
Newton’s Second Law of Motion: The Law of 1. Acceleration (Inertia/Acceleration)
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is
2. directly (directly/inversely) proportional to the magnitude of the net force,
in the 3. same (same/opposite) direction as the net force, and
4. inversely (directly/inversely) proportional to the
5. mass (mass/weight) of the object.

ACTIVITIES
Activity 1: “Am I in UAM (Uniformly Accelerated Motion)?”
Procedure: Analyze each scenario. Write UAM if it exhibits Uniformly Accelerated
Motion, write Non-UAM if it DOES NOT.
Non-UAM 1. A bike that is at rest.
Non-UAM 2. A boy holding a book.
Non-UAM 3. A girl walking leisurely.
Non-UAM 4. A hanging picture frame.
UAM 5. A rock falling from a cliff.
UAM 6. A fruit dropping from a tree.
UAM 7. A rolling ball on an inclined
plane.
Non-UAM 8. A man standing still in an escalator.
UAM 9. A car increasing its velocity at a constant rate.
UAM 10. A truck running with a constant acceleration.

Activity 2: “UAM (Uniformly Accelerated Motion) Comic Strip”

(My Comic Strip is on the next page)

Closure: Aside from the given scenario on your comic strip, can you cite other
situations of bodies or objects exhibiting uniformly accelerated motion?

WRAP-UP
FACT or BLUFF. The following statements are about bodies and objects
exhibiting Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM). Write FACT if the statement is TRUE
and write BLUFF if the statement is FALSE.

FACT 1. Acceleration is constant in bodies in uniformly accelerated motion.

BLUFF 2. UAM can only be observed along the horizontal line of action.
FACT 3. Objects at free-fall exhibit uniformly accelerated motion.
FACT 4. In UAM velocity changes but at a constant rate.
BLUFF 5. An object in UAM has zero acceleration.
