LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET


SCALARS AND VECTORS

Background Information
Physics is the branch of science that deals with the interaction between matter and
energy. The applications of physics principles paved the way for the development of the
society, country and the world as a whole.
Moreover, physics is a mathematical science. Physicists made use of science to come
up with more accurate and reliable physics concepts and principles. As you go through, you
will be dealing with the different physical quantities which will help you understand the
concepts and principles of physics.
In physics, physical quantities are a characteristic or property of an object that can be
measured or calculated from other measurements. These physical quantities can be classified
as scalar quantities or vector quantities. This activity sheet will help you differentiate scalars
from vectors. However, it will show you that the vectors do not really add up like ordinary
scalar numbers and that the way to deal with vector quantities is using vector algebra.

I. What are Scalars and Vectors?

Physical quantities can be classified either scalar quantity or vector quantity. Shown
below is a table comparing scalar and vector quantities with their corresponding units.

SCALAR QUANTITIES
Quantity Unit Unit Symbol Example
distance meter m 60 meters
speed meter/ second m/s 30 m/s
time second or hour s or hr 2s
mass Kilogram Kg 50 kg
current Ampere A 15 A

A scalar quantity is a quantity that is described by a magnitude (a number and a unit


of measure). One characteristic of scalar quantities is that they add up or subtract like ordinary
numbers. For example, the quantity distance, d1= 6m and another one, d2= 4m. The sum of
these two distances is 10m. The scalar quantity, distance, has a magnitude of 10 and has the
unit meters represented by m.

VECTOR QUANTITIES
Quantity Unit Unit Symbol Example
displacement meter (m) m 60 m South
velocity meter/second (m/s) m/s 30 m/s South
acceleration meter/second2(m/s2) m/s2 10 m/s2 downward
weight Newton N 500 N downward
force Newton N 110 N right

A vector quantity is a quantity that is completely described by both magnitude and


direction. Vector quantities are important in the study of physics. If scalar quantities follow
ordinary arithmetic rules, vector quantities do not. This is one important characteristic of
vectors.

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.


2|P age
Activity 1: Scalar or Vector Quantity?
Directions: Identify the given measurements as scalar or vector. Write your answers before
each number.
1. 100 m2 6. 15 m/s
2. 120 km/h East of Batanes 7. 410 kg m/s West
3. 3000 K 8. 38oC
4. 1 g/cm3 9. 60 A
5. 250 Newtons downward 10. 500 m 54o NE

II. How to represent Vector quantities?


A vector quantity is represented by an arrow ( ). The
length of the arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the vector
as shown in figure 1. The tail indicates the starting point of the Figure 1: An arrow representing a vector
vector while the arrowhead shows the direction. As shown in
figure 2, a displacement vector of 20 m 30oNW was represented
by the graph, the magnitude is 20 m and the direction is 30o
Northwest (West of North) using the scale 1cm = 4m. SCALE: 1 cm=4m

To be more specific in representing vectors, it is important


to use the Cartesian coordinate plane starting from the origin(O).
On the x – axis are the East and West directions and, on the y, –
axis are the North and South directions.

Activity 2: Scale Me! Figure 2: Graphed Vector

Directions: Draw the following vectors using your ruler and protractor.
Use 1 whole sheet of paper or graphing paper.
A. Given the SCALE: 1 cm = 5 m, represent the following vectors
1. 50 m Eastward
2. 35 m Northward
3. 60 m Northeast
B. Given the SCALE: 1 cm = 10 km, represent the following vectors
1. 35 km Southward
2. 50 km, 60o NW
3. 100 km, 30o NW

III. How to Add Vectors?


Unlike scalar quantities, adding two or more vectors is quite different. The process of
combining or adding two or more vectors to give a single vector is called composition of
vectors or simply vector addition. The vector sum of two or more vectors is called resultant.
There are different ways of vector addition: the graphical method and the analytical
method.
a) Graphical Method – The graphical method of adding vectors involves drawing vectors
on a Cartesian plane and adding them using the tail – head method. This method makes
use of a ruler and a protractor and requires some knowledge of scaling. The ruler measures

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.


3|P age
the magnitude and the protractor measures the direction. In using the tail – head method,
you may follow the following steps:

Let us consider this example.


A person walks 9 units east and 5 units north. What is the person’s resultant vector?

Step 1. Draw an arrow on a Cartesian


coordinate plane to represent the
first vector using a ruler and
protractor.

Figure 5: Illustration of Resultant vector

Step 5. To get the magnitude of the


resultant, measure its length with
Figure 3: Graph of vector 1
a ruler.
Step 2. Now draw an arrow to represent the
second vector. Place the tail of the
second vector at the head of the first
vector.

Figure 6: Measurement of the magnitude


of Resultant Vector
Step 6. To get the direction of the
resultant, measure the angle it
Figure 4: Graph of vector 1 and 2 makes with the reference frame
Step 3. If there are more than two vectors, using a protractor.
continue this process for each
vector to be added. Note that in our
example, we have only two vectors,
so we have finished placing arrows
tip to tail.
Step 4. Draw an arrow from the tail of the
first vector to the head of the last
vector, as shown in Figure 5. This is
the resultant, or the sum, of the
other vectors.
Figure 7: Measurement of the direction of Resultant Vector

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.


4|P age
In this example, the magnitude R of the vector is 10.3 units, and the
direction θ is 29.1o north of east. So, the resultant vector(R) is 10.3 units, 29.1o NE.
It’s your turn. Follow the steps of adding vectors using graphical method.

Activity 3: Addition of Vectors by Graphing


Directions: Graph the following vectors in a separate sheet of paper and get their resultant.
(scale 1cm = 100m)
1. Bob walks 300m East, stops to rest and continues 400m East. What is Bob’s resultant
displacement?
2. Kate walks 500m East and then turns North and walks 300m.
3. Jiro walks 600m East, then turs 400m North and finally walks 300m West.

b) Analytical Method – this makes use of mathematical method in getting the resultant vectors
specifically the Pythagorean theorem and the trigonometric functions. To get the resultant
of two or more vectors, the component method can be used. Here are the steps to follow.

Step 1. Draw each vector component in the Cartesian plane


Step 2. Find the x and y components of each vector
Step 3. Find the sum of the x - components. The symbol Σ means summation.
Step 4. Find the sum of the y – components.
Step 5. Use the sum of the x – components and the sum of the y – components to find the
resultant. You may use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the magnitude and the
trigonometric functions to solve for the direction.

Trigonometric Functions

Let’s take a look for this example.


N
Example 1:
A young girl is biking in a pavement. She bikes 60 m
d1
East then heads 50m North. What is the resultant
displacement of the girl? W E
S d2
Figure 8: Graph of vectors 1 and 2
Following the steps, we can draw and identify the vector
components.

Given: d1 = 60m E
Vector dx dy
d2 = 50 m N
where: d1 = first displacement d1= 60m E 60 m 0
d2 =second displacement d2 = 50m N 0 50 m
Σdx = 60m Σdy = 50m

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.


5|P age
Find: a. magnitude of the resultant vector(dR)
A. direction of the resultant vector(θ)

Now, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the magnitude and trigonometric
function tan θ to solve for the direction.

Therefore, the resultant displacement is 78.10 m 39.69o NE.

Example 2:
An ant crawls on a table top. It moves 2cm
East, turns 3 cm 40o Northeast and finally
moves 2.5 cm North. What is the ant’s total
displacement?

Given: d1 = 2 cm E
d2 = 3 cm 40o NE
d3 = 2.5 cm N Figure 9: Graph of vectors 1,2 and 3

Find: Ant’s total displacement or resultant vector(dR)

For this case, there are three vectors given and it is necessary to get the x and y
component of d2 = 3 cm 40o NE.

We can use the table below to show the components of the vector.

Vector dx dy
d1 = 2 cm E 2 cm 0
d2 = 3 cm 40o NE 2.31 cm 1.92 cm
d3 = 2.5 cm N 0 2.50 cm
Σdx = 4.31 cm Σdy = 4.42 cm

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.


6|P age
Therefore, the resultant displacement is 6.17 cm 45.85oNE.
It’s your turn!

Activity 4: Finding the Resultant


Direction: Solve the following worded problems on a separate sheet of paper.

1. Vicky walks 8 km East, then 5 km South and finally 6 km West. Find her resultant
displacement.

2. Find the resultant of the following vectors: 10 cm North; 25 cm 30 o North of East; 30 cm


60o North of West
Learning vector addition is very important in understanding physics concepts. The
mathematical approach of adding vectors will allow you to clarify concepts on forces,
motion, engineering, etc. As we go through with the subject, you will learn to appreciate
more the importance of vectors in learning physics and appreciate physics as part of our
daily life.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET


UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION

Background Information to Learners


Uniformly accelerated motion is a motion under constant acceleration. Since the
acceleration is constant, the velocity of an object moving under uniform acceleration changes
by the same amount each second.
A body released near the surface of the earth is pulled downward by force of gravity.
The acceleration due to the force of gravity is termed as acceleration due to gravity. The value
of this acceleration is the same for all bodies released at the same location. The acceleration
due to gravity near the surface of the Earth is denoted by g or ag and has a numerical value of
9.8 m/s2.

Since we are dealing with uniform


acceleration, the four kinematic equations can
be applied. If the motion does not presume
uniformly accelerated motion, then these do not
hold true.

Learning Competencies:
At the end of this journey, you should be able to:
1. derive the four kinematic equations algebraically; (S10APhM-Ic-6)
2. apply the four kinematic equations on situations involving uniformly accelerated

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET


MOTION OF FALLING OBJECTS

Background Information to Learners


Our province, Nueva Vizcaya, has been known for its natural vibrance especially the
presence of mountains where waterfalls are homed. The presence of water falls made
municipalities of Nueva Vizcaya more popular to Novo Vizcayanos as well as to the different
tourists outside the province. These waterfalls include Amococan falls, Casat falls, Lintungan
falls, Dumliing falls, Edralin falls and many others.
Have you visited one of these falls? How do you describe them? The water in a
waterfall exhibits a free fall motion and this is what this activity sheet is all about.

_________ 5. When thrown upward, the velocity of the ball at the top of its path is less than
zero.

I. What is Free fall?


Do heavy bodies fall at faster rate than the lighter ones? Or do
they fall at the same rate?
Consider figure 1. As demonstrated by the coin and the feather
inside an evacuated tube (no air), the coin and the feather fall at the
same rate. In the presence of air, the coin falls faster than the feather as
shown in figure 1.b. the difference is due to air resistance having
greater effect on light bodies than on heavier bodies. Figure 1: falling objects inside an air
– filled tub and an evacuated tube
Galileo Galilei was the first to make an analysis on the motion of freely falling objects.
He dropped a heavy object and a light object at the same time from the overhanging ledge of
the tower of Pisa. He observed that these two objects hit the ground at the same time.
Based on his experimentations, Galileo concluded that all objects on earth in the absence
of air resistance would fall with the same constant acceleration due to gravity (g). This one –
dimensional motion along the vertical and is only influenced by the pull of earth’s gravitational
pull is called free fall. When an object is dropped, the object starts from rest and gains speed
as it falls. Historical measurements showed that this constant acceleration due to gravity is
equal to 9.8 m/s2. This acceleration is represented by the symbol g and is directed downward.
Assuming no air resistance, all problems involving motion of falling objects can be
solved by using the equations for accelerated motion.

The displacement of falling objects in a given period of time is computed by the equation:
or

The final velocity of falling objects can be calculated by the equations:

or

Where: a = g = 9.8 m/s2, downward in earth.


vi= initial velocity
d = displacement
t = time
h = height

Let’s try to use these equations with these examples.

Sample Problem 1.
A stone is dropped from the top of a building and falls freely from rest. What is
its position (height) and its velocity after 1.0s, 2.0s, and 3.0s?

To find for the position(height), we will c. Find h after 3.0s


use: h = 0(3.0s) – (9.8 m/s2)(3.0s)2
2
h = 0 – 88.2 m
Know that initial velocity (vi) = 0 2
a. Find h after 1.0s h = - 44.1 m or 44.1 m downward

h = 0(1.0s) – (9.8 m/s2)(1.0s)2 To find for velocity (vf), we will use:


2
h = 0 – 9.8 m
2 a. Find vf after 1.0s
h = - 4.9 m vf = 0 – (9.8 m/s2)(1.0s)
(negative sign denotes downward direction) vf = - 9.8 m/s

b. Find h after 2.0s b. Find vf after 2.0s


h = 0(2.0s) – (9.8 m/s2)(2.0s)2 vf = 0 – (9.8 m/s2)(2.0s)
2 vf = - 19.6 m/s
h = 0 – 39.2 m c. Find vf after 3.0s
2 vf = 0 – (9.8 m/s2)(.0s)
h = - 19.6 m or 19.6 m downward vf = - 29.4 m/s

Sample Problem 2.
A boy threw a ball upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s and was able to catch it
before it reached the ground on its return.
a. What was the ball’s velocity after 1s?
b. What was the ball’s velocity after 2s?
c. What was its displacement after 1s?
d. How long did it take the ball to reach its maximum height?
e. How far was the maximum height from the starting point?

Given: vi = 20 m/s

Find:
a. v after 1s
b. v after 5s
c. d after 1s
d. t from origin to maximum height
e. d from origin to maximum height

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.


17 | P a g e
Solutions:

a. v after 1s d. t from origin to maximum height


use: Note: An object thrown upward will
reach a certain point (maximum
vf = 20 m/s – (9.8 m/s2)(1.0s) height) where it will momentarily
vf = 20 m/s - 9.8 m/s stop and then start to move
vf = 10.2 m/s downward. At this point, vf = 0.

b. v after 2s Use:
use:
Manipulating the equation,
vf = 20 m/s – (9.8 m/s )(2.0s)
2

vf = 20 m/s – 19.6 m/s


vf = 0.4 m/s
t = 20 m/s – 0
c. d after 1s 9.8 m/s2
use: t = 2.04 s

d = 20m/s(1.0s) – (9.8 m/s2)(1.0s)2 e. d from origin to maximum height


2 use:
d = 20m – 4.9 m
d = 15.1 m d = 20m/s (2.04 s) – (9.8 m/s2)(2.04s)2
(positive sign denotes that the object is 2
moving upward) d = 40.8 m – 20.40 m
d = 20.4 m

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET


PROJECTILE MOTION
Background Information to Learners
Have you ever watched a basketball player shoot a ball? Or a volleyball player tossing
the ball over the net? How would you describe the path that the ball has travelled? The ball
takes a curved path from the hands of the player towards the ring, or over the net, as in the case
of volleyball. The path of the ball forms an arch, where the ball follows a semicircle or a bowed
path. This motion is called projectile motion.
Learning Competencies
At the end of this journey, you should be able to:
1. Apply kinematics equations to two-dimensional motion such as projectile motion
(S10APhM-Id-12);
2. Differentiate the horizontal a vertical component of a projectile (S10APhM-Id-13);
3. Distinguish the different types of projections (S10APhM-Ie-14); and
4. Use kinematics equations to solve problems involving projectile motion (S10APhM-
Ie-15).
Directions/Instructions:
Hello, Learner! In your previous activities you have already familiarized yourself with
the kinematics equations and its use with uniformly accelerated motion, specifically freefall.
This time you will explore the application of kinematics equations for two-dimensional motion
such as projectile motion.
Activity 1: Check your knowledge!
Directions: The following are concepts on kinematics equations and uniformly accelerated
motion. Check the thumbs up column if the statement is correct and the thumbs down column
if it is incorrect.
Statement

1. Freefall is an example of uniformly accelerated motion


2. Freefall is motion with changing velocity
3. For uniformly accelerated motion, the acceleration is equal to zero
4. The velocity of freefalling objects is always increasing
5. Freefall motion is only vertical motion

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.


21 | P a g e
Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into
the air, subject to only the acceleration caused by gravity. The object is
called a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory. A projectile may be
projected horizontally or at an angle from the horizontal. The maximum
horizontal displacement of a projectile is called its range while the
maximum vertical displacement is called the h-max.
When an object is projected into the air
with an initial force, be it horizontally or
at an angle with the horizontal, it travels
a curved path towards the ground. In
this motion, the object is only acted upon by the force of
gravity. As it travels through its trajectory, it covers a
horizontal distance and at the same time it also covers a
vertical distance, hence, the projectile motion is composed
of vertical motion and horizontal motion.
Separating these two components, the vertical motion is
governed by the force of gravity while the horizontal
motion is governed by Newton’s law of inertia. In vertical
motion, the object accelerates due to the force of gravity
2
giving it a constant rate of 9.8m/s . This means that as the projectile moves upward, its velocity
decreases by 9.8 meters per second every second and as it moves downward, its velocity
increases by 9.8 meters per second every second. In horizontal motion, the object moves at a
constant speed in the absence of an external force following the law of inertia. That means
that the acceleration for the horizontal component is zero.
Activity 2: Puzzle me this!
Directions: Complete the crossword puzzle below.

Across
2. path of a projectile
3. change in upward velocity
5. maximum height
7. change in downward velocity
8. maximum horizontal distance

1. ___ due to gravity, 9.8m/s2
4. component with zero acceleration
6. velocity at the tipping point

Describing the motion of projectiles requires its
resolution into its vertical and horizontal
components. To do this, we must recall the
kinematics equations and its sign conventions:
• 𝑣𝑓 = 𝑣𝑖 + 𝑎𝑡

• 𝑣𝑓 2 = 𝑣𝑖 2 + 2𝑎𝑑
1
• 𝑑 = 𝑣𝑖 𝑡 + 2 𝑎𝑡 2

The table below shows the kinematics equations for


the vertical and horizontal components of projectile
motion.
Vertical component Horizontal component
• 𝑎 = 𝑔 = −9.8𝑚/𝑠 2 • 𝑎=0
• 𝑣𝑓𝑦 = 𝑣𝑖𝑦 + 𝑎𝑡 • 𝑣𝑓𝑥 = 𝑣𝑖𝑥 + 𝑎𝑡 𝑣𝑓𝑥 = 𝑣𝑖𝑥
• 𝑣𝑓𝑦 2 = 𝑣𝑖𝑦 2 + 2𝑎𝑑𝑦 • 𝑣𝑓𝑥 2 = 𝑣𝑖𝑥 2 + 2𝑎𝑑𝑥 𝑣𝑓𝑥 2 = 𝑣𝑖𝑥 2
1 1
• 𝑑𝑦 = 𝑣𝑖𝑦 𝑡 + 2 𝑎𝑡 2 (h-max) • 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑣𝑖𝑥 𝑡 + 2 𝑎𝑡 2 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑣𝑖𝑥 𝑡 (range)

Horizontal projections
Sample Problem 1.
A ball is thrown horizontally from a building 60.0m high with a speed of 25.0m/s. Find
the (a)vertical and horizontal components of the ball’s initial velocity, (b) time of flight,
(c)distance from the foot of the building where the ball will strike the ground, and (d)velocity
when the ball will strike the ground)
Given: 𝑑𝑦 = 60.0𝑚 𝑣𝑖 = 25.0𝑚/𝑠

Solution:
(a) x- and y- components of 𝑣𝑖 :
Since the ball is horizontally thrown: 𝑣𝑖𝑥 = 25.0𝑚/𝑠 𝑣𝑖𝑦 = 0

(b) First, solve for 𝑣𝑓𝑦 using 𝑣𝑓𝑦 2 = 𝑣𝑖𝑦 2 + 2𝑎𝑑𝑦 , since 𝑣𝑖𝑦 = 0:

𝑣𝑓𝑦 = √2𝑎𝑑𝑦 = √2(−9.8𝑚/𝑠 2 )(−60.0𝑚) = −34.29𝑚/𝑠

To get 𝑡: 𝑣𝑓𝑦 = 𝑣𝑖𝑦 + 𝑎𝑡


𝑣𝑓𝑦 − 𝑣𝑖𝑦 −34.29𝑚/𝑠
𝑡= = = 𝟑. 𝟓𝟎𝒔
𝑎 −9.8𝑚/𝑠
(c) Range: 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑣𝑖𝑥 𝑡 = (25𝑚/𝑠)(3.50𝑠) = 𝟖𝟕. 𝟓𝟎𝒎

(d) Get the resultant of the components 𝑣𝑓𝑥 and 𝑣𝑓𝑦 :

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.

Practice Problem 1
A ball thrown horizontally from the edge of the top of a building 32m high strikes the ground
22.5 m from the foot of the building. Find the (a) time it takes the ball to reach the ground,
(b) initial velocity of the ball, and (c) velocity just before it reaches the ground.
Given: ___________________________
Solution:

Projectiles launched at an angle


Sample problem2
A ball kicked from ground level at an initial velocity of 60 m/s and an angle θ with ground
reaches a horizontal distance of 200 meters. (a) What is the size of angle θ? (b) What is time
of flight of the ball?
Given: 𝑣𝑖 = 60𝑚/𝑠, 𝜃 𝑑𝑥 = 200𝑚
Solution:
a. The angle of projection:
First, resolve the 𝑣𝑖 into its components, 𝑣𝑖𝑥 = 𝑣𝑖 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 and 𝑣𝑖𝑦 = 𝑣𝑖 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃
There are two ways to solve for the time of flight: from 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑣𝑖𝑥 𝑡 and 𝑣𝑓𝑦 = 𝑣𝑖𝑦 + 𝑎𝑡
(if |𝑣𝑓𝑦 | = |𝑣𝑖𝑦 |), we get:

𝑡 = 𝑑𝑥 /𝑣𝑖 cos 𝜃 𝑡 = 2𝑣𝑖 sin 𝜃 /𝑔


Equating the two expressions, 𝑑𝑥 /𝑣𝑖 cos 𝜃 = 2𝑣𝑖 sin 𝜃 /𝑔
1
Which gives, 2𝑣𝑖 sin 𝜃 𝑣𝑖 cos 𝜃 = 𝑑𝑥 𝑔 since cos 𝑥 sin 𝑥 = 2 sin 2𝑥 ; we get
200𝑚 (−9.8𝑚/𝑠)
sin 2𝜃 = 𝑑𝑥 𝑔⁄𝑣𝑖 2 substituting, sin 2𝜃 = (60𝑚/𝑠)2
, we get 𝜽 = 𝟏𝟔. 𝟒𝟗°

b. Time of flight:
Using 𝑡 = 𝑑𝑥 /𝑣𝑖 cos 𝜃 = 200𝑚⁄(60𝑚/𝑠) cos 16.49° = 𝟑. 𝟒𝟖 𝒔

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION

Background Information for Learners


Motion cannot be possible without the presence of another spectacular quantity known
as force. We can notice how force changes motion and make it beautiful especially in the case
of sports. The flow of movements caused by forces applied by an athlete, for example, creates
awesome scenery at that instant.
Sir Isaac Newton was the scientist who discovered the laws of motion which are the
foundation of dynamics which talks about the forces that affect the motion of objects and
systems. In fact, these laws tell how simple the principles of nature are because of their brevity.
(Well, only to consider the classical mechanics and not the quantum mechanics.)
Learning Competencies:
At the end of this journey, you should be able to:
1. explain the three laws of motion (S10APhM-If-16);
2. apply the three laws of motion on word problems (S10APhM-If-17); and
3. determine life instances that exemplifies the three laws of motion (S10APhM-If-
18).

Let us try to solve problems on second law of motion.
Problem 1: A student applies a constant horizontal force with magnitude 20N to a table with
a mass of 40 kg resting on a level floor with negligible friction. What is the
acceleration of the box?
𝑭𝑛𝑒𝑡
𝒂=
𝑚
20 𝑁 20 𝑘𝑔 𝑚/𝑠 2
𝒂= = = 𝟎. 𝟓 𝒎/𝒔𝟐
40 𝑘𝑔 40 𝑘𝑔
Problem 2: A 0.45 kg pluck moves to the right along a smooth level floor. The pluck moves
at 2.8 m/s then slows down as it slides due to a constant horizontal friction. It
slides for 1.0 m before coming to rest. What are the magnitude and direction of
the friction force acting on the pluck?
Solution: Find a using a kinematic equation:
𝑣𝑓2 = 𝑣𝑖2 + 2𝑎𝑑

(0 𝑚/𝑠)2 = (2.8 𝑚/𝑠)2 + 2𝑎(1 𝑚)

(0 𝑚/𝑠)2 − (2.8 𝑚/𝑠)2


𝒂= = −3.9 𝑚/𝑠 2
2(1 𝑚)
Find the value of friction:
𝒇 = 𝑚𝑎
𝒇 = (0.45 𝑘𝑔)(−3.9 𝑚/𝑠 2 )
𝒇 = −1.8 𝑁
Thus, friction’s direction is to the left which acts against the applied force.
Activity 4: Solve the following problems completely. Show your solutions.
1. Complete the table below. Include the desired units.
Net Force (N) Mass (kg) Acceleration (m/s2)
5.0 5.0
25.0 4.998

2. A car has a mass of 2 569.6 kg, if it accelerates at 4.65m/s2 what is the net force on the
car?

3. A 7.26kg bowling ball is at rest at the end of a bowling lane. Use this information to
answer the following questions.
a. What is the net force acting on the ball?

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.


29 | P a g e
b. You push the ball with a force of 22.8N which induces a -2.3N frictional force.
What is the net force while you push the ball?
c. What is the acceleration caused by your push on the ball?
d. Following your push the ball rolls down the lane at 4.2m/s. What is the net force on
the ball as it rolls down the lane at the constant speed?
e. CHALLENGE: How long did you push the ball in this situation?

The Third Law of Motion


When a man pushes a refrigerator, he applies a force on the
refrigerator while the refrigerator also applies a force on the man. This
is the fact that forces always come in pairs. In that manner, there is
always a reaction for every action being done.
Thus, in equation form, the third law is:
𝑭𝐴 𝑜𝑛 𝐵 = −𝑭𝐵 𝑜𝑛 𝐴
The magnitude of the forces is the same but these have opposite directions.
Activity 4: Answer the following questions below.
1. Forces are the result of __________________ between objects.
2. Since forces come in pairs, what do we call these pairs?

IMPULSE AND MOMENTUM
Background Information to Learners
When a car and a truck are traveling with the same speed, the truck would be harder to
stop. Same as through when we start them to move. The reason behind this is the truck has
greater inertia and therefore will also have greater momentum. If two identical objects are
moving, the faster object would have higher momentum than the slower one.
Learning Competencies:
At the end of this journey, you should be able to:
1. differentiate momentum from impulse (S10APhM-Ig-19); and
2. solve problems on impulse and momentum (S10APhM-Ig-20).

Linear Momentum (p) is defined as the product of the system’s mass multiplied by its
velocity.
𝑚𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑢𝑚 − 𝒑
𝒑 = 𝑚𝒗
Thus, the SI unit of momentum is kg∙m/s. The direction of the momentum is the same
as the direction of the velocity.
Impulse, on the other hand, is the change in momentum. Generally, mass does not
change and so the one that changes often is velocity.
𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑠𝑒 − 𝑱
∆𝒑 = 𝑚∆𝒗
𝑱 = ∆𝒑
If we apply a force in an object over a period of time, the momentum of the object also
changes. Applying the second law of motion, we now have:
𝑭 = 𝑚𝒂
𝑚∆𝒗
𝑭=
∆𝑡
𝑭∆𝑡 = 𝑚∆𝒗
𝑱 = 𝑭∆𝑡 = 𝑚∆𝒗
𝑭∆𝑡 = m∆𝒗 (Impulse – Momentum Theorem)

Activity 1: Solve the following problems on Momentum.


1. What is the momentum of a 1000 kg car moves at 20 m/s?
2. Compare the momentum of a 2000 kg van moving at 30 m/s with a 5000 kg truck
moving at 12 m/s.

3. A supersonic bomber, with a mass of 21,000 kg, departs from its home airbase with a
velocity of 400 m/s due east. What is the jet's momentum?
4. Now, let's assume the jet drops its payload and has burned up most of its fuel as it
continues its journey to its destination airfield. If the jet's new mass is 16,000 kg, and
due to its reduced weight, the pilot increases the cruising speed to 550 m/s, what is the
jet's new momentum?
5. What is the mass of a car traveling northward at 20 m/s and with a momentum of 25000
kg m/s?

Activity 2: Solve the following problems on Impulse.


1. A 40 N force applied to an object for 5 s. What’s the impulse?
2. A 300 N force applied to an object for 10s. What’s the impulse?
3. A 0.10 Kg model rocket’s engine is designed to deliver an impulse of 6.0 N·s. If the
rocket engine burns for 0.75 s, what is the average force does the engine produce?

Activity 3: Problem Solving on Impulse-Momentum Theorem


1. A 0.144 kg baseball approaches a batter with a speed of 30 m/s. The batter lines the ball
directly back to the pitcher with a speed of 40 m/s. Find the impulse exerted on the ball.
If the bat and ball were in contact for 0.012 sec, find the average force exerted on the
ball by the bat.
2. A 0.40-kg soccer ball approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 15 m/s. The
player hits the ball with her head and causes it to move in the opposite direction with a
speed of 15 m/s. What impulse was imparted to the ball by the player?
3. A 30 kg block with velocity 50 m/s is encountering a constant 8 N friction force. What
is the momentum of the block after 15 seconds?

Activity 4: Answer the following statements briefly but substantially.


1. What can you do to increase the momentum of an object?

CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM

Background Information for Learners


When playing billiards, there are so many cases that can be
noticed when a ball is hit by the cue ball. First, the cue ball might
stop after hitting a ball. Second, both the cue ball and the number
ball being hit move on the same direction, Thirdly, both balls might
move away from each other in different directions. And so on.
In such scenarios, we can observe that the momentum of the cue
ball before the collision changes after. But if we consider the whole system, most often, there
is no net force or not net impulse act on the system. As such, the total momentum before the
collision is the same as the total momentum after the collision. Thereby making momentum
conserved.
In equation form:
𝒑𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝒑′𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙
𝒑1 + 𝒑2 = 𝒑1′ + 𝒑′2
before collision after collision

Learning Competencies:
At the end of this journey, you should be able to:
1. apply the law of conservation of momentum on collisions (S10APhM-Ih-21);
2. describe real-life scenarios about the different types of collisions (S10APhM-Ih-
22); and
3. solve problems on collisions (S10APhM-Ih-23).

Let us consider the different types of two-object collisions for easy analysis.
Elastic Collision – A type of collision when the two objects bounce of from each other or when
there is no sticking together. Thus, momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

Before collision After collision

𝒑𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝒑′𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙
𝒑1 + 𝒑2 = 𝒑1′ + 𝒑′2
𝑚1 𝑣1 + 𝑚2 𝑣2 = 𝑚1 𝑣1′ + 𝑚2 𝑣2′

Inelastic Collision – A type of collision when the internal kinetic energy changes. When the
two objects stick together, it is considered perfectly inelastic collision.

Before collision After collision

1 2 1 2

𝒑𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝒑′𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙
𝒑1 + 𝒑2 = 𝒑1′ + 𝒑′2

In our daily activities, we often experience collisions. Some do hurt us and let us feel
pain in real time. For example, your little toe finger accidentally bumps the feet of a chair. That
is nasty. Also, sports offer many examples of collisions. The road even gives us lessons to
become defensive drivers.

m/s west. After the collision, the 0.30 kg object is traveling at 2.0 m/s east. What are
the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the first object?

2. A toy 10-kg fire truck is rolling at 10 m/s when it hits a parked 5-kg toy car. After the
collision, the car rolls at 4 m/s. What is the velocity of the fire truck?

Inelastic Collisions
1. A 4.0 kg mass is moving at 3.0 m/s toward the right, and a 6.0 kg mass is moving at
2.0 m/s toward the left on a horizontal, frictionless table. If the two masses collide and
remain together after the collision, what is their final momentum?

2. A 20. kg cart traveling east with a speed of 6.0 m/s collides with a 30. kg cart traveling
west. If both carts come to rest after the collision, what was the speed of the westbound
cart before the collision?

Activity 3. Tell whether the statement is true or false. Write your answer on the space
provided.
_______ 1. To change the momentum on an object, you need to exert force on it.
_______ 2. If the vector sum of all the external forces on a system is zero, the total momentum
of the system is constant.
_______ 3. In elastic collisions, some kinetic energies are converted to heat, sound or light.
_______ 4. Completely inelastic collisions have two objects moving together in one direction
after collision.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET


FRICTION
Background Information to Learners
One of the contact forces that is considered advantageous in one case but
disadvantageous on the other is frictional force. For example, without friction, we can not walk
or run. However, bearings won’t work properly when friction is too much. We use friction to
sharpen our knives, but we wanted no friction when we pump out water from our well.
There are generally three types of friction. These are static, kinetic and rolling. Static
friction is the strongest of all. Kinetic or sliding friction is weaker than static. It is the point
where when applied force starts to move an object against friction. Rolling friction, however,
is the weakest of the three and reduces the effects of friction drastically. Do note that these
types depend on the normal force (FN) and on the type of surfaces (µs or µk). Yet, friction is
independent from the surface area in contact.

UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION
Background Information to Learners
Curve roads are made to obey physics concepts to lessen vehicular accidents. Usually,
curve roads have “banking” concepts with the outer part higher to let a speeding vehicle
compounded into the motion caused by the centripetal force when an object revolves around a
circle. This inward force produces an inward radial acceleration which can be derived from the
second law of motion: 𝑭 = 𝑚𝒂

Learning Competencies:
At the end of this journey, you should be able to:
1. determine the relationship of centripetal force, velocity and radius (S10APhM-Ii-26);
and
2. solve problems on uniform circular motion (S10APhM-Ii-27).

In the figure, an object is moving in a circle


with a radius r and a speed v. Even if the object
is moving at a constant speed, the object is still
accelerating due to the constant change in
direction. Thus, we can express centripetal
𝑣2
acceleration as: 𝒂𝒄 =
𝑟

Note that centripetal force is which is directed towards the center is necessary for the object
𝑚𝑣 2
to rotate in a circular manner. Thus, centripetal force is: 𝑭𝒄 = 𝑟
𝑑 2𝜋𝑟
Speed can also be expressed in terms of period, T and radius r. 𝑣 = =
𝑡 𝑇

To summarize, uniform circular motion is a motion along a circular path where there
is no change in speed but a change in direction.
Activity 1.
Complete the diagram at the right. Draw the
velocity vector and acceleration vector at the various
positions. Label them correctly. The first velocity vector is
given as an example. Just complete it and do the same for
the others.

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.

Activity 3. Using the quantitative dependencies of the acceleration upon the speed and the
radius of curvature, answer the following questions:
1. For the same speed, the acceleration of the object varies _____________ (directly,
inversely) with the radius of curvature.
2. For the same radius of curvature, the acceleration of the object varies _____________
(directly, inversely) with the speed of the object.
3. As the speed of an object is doubled, the acceleration is ________________ (one-fourth,
one-half, two times, four times) the original value.
4. As the speed of an object is tripled, the acceleration is __________________ (one-third,
one-ninth, three times, nine times) the original value.
5. As the radius of the circle is doubled, the acceleration is ________________ (one-fourth,
one-half, two times, four times) the original value.
6. As the radius of the circle is tripled, the acceleration is __________________ (one-third,
one-ninth, three times, nine times) the original value.

Activity 4. Problem Solving on Uniform Circular Motion


1. A man swings a 4.0 kg mass in a vertical circle 0.80 m in radius so that it is traveling
with a velocity of 5.7 m/s at the lowest point of the circle. Compute the pulling force
exerted by the man’s hand at this point.
2. An object is revolving in an orbit in a vertical plane. If the radius of the orbit is 0.20 m,
what must be the speed of the object at the top of the orbit for its acceleration there to
be equal to 2g?
3. It takes a 900 kg racing car 12.3 s to travel at a uniform speed around a circular racetrack
of radius 90.0 m. What is the centripetal force acting on the car, and which force
provides it?
4. A 0.100 kg mass is attached to a string 75 cm long and swings in a horizontal circle,
revolving once every 0.80 s. Calculate: a) the centripetal acceleration of the mass. b)
the tension in the string.
5. A 14000N car traveling at 25 m/s rounds a curve of radius 200 m. Find the following:
a. The centripetal acceleration of the car. 3.125 m/s2
b. The force that maintains centripetal acceleration. 4375 N
c. The minimum coefficient of static friction between the tires and road that will allow
the car to round the curve safely.
