CHAPTER 1: FORCE AND MOTION

July 8 – July 9, 2019 RECHECKING OF FIRST SEMI QUARTERLY EXAM

I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
a. relate the laws of motion to bodies in uniform circular motion;
b. infer that circular motion requires the application of constant force directed toward
the center of the circle; and
c. site examples of different types of circular motion that can be seen in real life
situation.

III. Learning Activities
A. Review
1. _________ is inertia in motion. MOMENTUM
2. What is the equation in determining momentum of an object? p = mv
3. The word momentum means “__________” moving
4. Momentum is greater in objects with more ________ and also in faster moving
objects. mass
5. For stationary objects where the _________ is zero the momentum is also zero.
velocity
B. Motivation
 The teacher will let the student watch a video clip about the different objects
that can be seen in real life situation which is said to be in circular motion.
 Student will watch the video clip and will have to take down notes the
important key terms.

C. Learning Development
 Student will answer the following questions based on their understanding on
the video that they have watched.

1. Give the two example of circular motion?

2. How can you describe the objects in rotation and in revolution?
3. What are those given examples that are in circular motion?
4. Would the speed of the animal located at the other part of the merry go round
differ from that of the nearer the center?

D. Synthesis

 ROTATION – or spinning, is a type of circular motion

An object rotates when it spins around its own axis.
 REVOLUTION – An object revolves when it is being moves along a circular
path around an axis.
 Tangential velocity – the object’s speed meets a curve in a single point as it
follows the circular path.
 Rotational velocity – Is the number of rotations an object makes around an
axis at a given length of time.
 Unit for measurement: revolution per minute (RPM), degrees per second, or
radians per second.
 Centripetal means “center-seeking” or “toward the center”
 Centrifugal force means “center - fleeing” or “away from the center”
 Centrifugal force is a fictitious force.

E. Infused Values
1. Accidents are more frequent along curved roadways. Why?
2. What suggestions can you give so that these accidents may be avoided?

F. Evaluation (Problem Solving)

1. It is the velocity of an object going around a circular path?
2-4. What are the units used for rotational speed?
5. What do we call to the force that is “toward the center” or is “center-seeking?”
6. Why does the acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion is centripetal?
7. What do we call to the force that is “center-fleeing?”
 8. Is the number of rotations an object makes around an axis at a given length of
time.
ROTATION OR REVOLUTION
