LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET- FOURTH QUARTER

WEEK 1 : UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION (HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL)

Most Essential Learning Competency:


• MELC 19: Describe the horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile.

Background Information for Learners

In Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM), the value of the acceleration is constant. It does not
change. The velocity changes but at a constant rate. An object with zero acceleration is said to be in
uniform motion. An object in uniformly accelerated motion has non-zero but constant acceleration.
Acceleration represents how velocity changes with time, velocity represents how position changes
with time.
Toss a coin upward. Does it stay up? What makes it go down? Gravity pulls the coin down.
Things that are thrown upward, will go down because of this force.
Gravity also pulls us towards the earth. That is why we are not being thrown outside space.
What floor was your classroom when you were in Grade 7 and 8? Was it on the 4th, 5th, or 6th floor
of the school building? Which is easier, climbing to your classroom or going down to the school
canteen? When you climb a high place, you go against gravity. When you are on a high place, and
you go down, you are moving toward gravity, so you use less force.

Same is true with freely-falling objects. Objects at free-fall also exhibit uniformly
accelerated motion. The acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2) neglecting air resistance, is a
constant acceleration for all falling bodies, regardless of their mass and weight. All objects on the
earth’s surface are being accelerated toward the center of the earth at a rate of
9.8 m/s2. This means that if you raise an object above the surface of the earth and drop it, the object
will start from rest and its velocity will increase by 9.8 meters per second for each second it is falling
toward the earth’s surface until it strikes the ground.
In general, a uniformly accelerated motion is the one in which the acceleration
of a body throughout the motion is uniform. It can be observed in either vertical or
horizontal dimension, and in two dimensions.

In kinematics, there are various terminologies to be used in conceptual and computational physics.
These are the following:
• Initial velocity – the velocity at the starting point and represented by the symbol, vix
• Final velocity – the velocity at the final point of time and represented by the symbol, vfx
• Acceleration – the change of velocity of an object with respect to time and represented by the
symbol, ax

4
Remember the following kinematic equations and formulas:

Sample Problems:
• How long does it take to increase a car’s velocity from 10 m/s to 25 m/s if the car can accelerate
at a rate of 2 m/s 2?

Introduction to Free Fall


• A FREE FALLING object is an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity.
• Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free
fall.
• There are two important motion characteristics that are true of free-falling objects:
➢ Free-falling objects do not encounter air resistance.
➢ All free-falling objects (on Earth) accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s2
(9.8 m/s/s)
• Acceleration due to Gravity (g)
• The acceleration which is gained by an object because of gravitational force. Its SI unit is m/s2
• Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction.
• The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth is represented as g.
• It has a constant value defined as 9.80665 m/s2 or 9.8 m/s2

LEARNING TASK 1

Motion (UAM). Write FACT if the statement is TRUE and write BLUFF if the statement is FALSE.

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

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET- FOURTH QUARTER
WEEK 2: PROJECTILE MOTION (ANGLE, HEIGHT AND RANGE)

Most Essential Learning Competency


• MELC 20: Investigate the relationship between the angle of release and the height and range of the
projectile

Background Information for Learners

Have you experienced throwing or kicking a ball? So,


what have you observed? Can you describe the path of
the ball? Projectile motion can apply to sports like
basketball, volleyball and football. These sports involve
throwing and kicking a ball. And they are all making a
curved path in mid-air. This curved path made by the
ball is called a projectile, a motion with two-
dimensions; the horizontal (range or distance) and
vertical (height) components.

A projectile is an object upon which the only force


acting is gravity. There are a variety of examples of
projectiles. An object dropped from rest is a projectile
(provided that the influence of air resistance is negligible). An object that is thrown vertically upward is also a
projectile (provided that the influence of air resistance is negligible).

PARTS OF PROJECTILE MOTION


1. PROJECTILE – is any object that is thrown or projected
upward.
2. TRAJECTORY – is the curved path traveled by a
projectile.
3. RANGE – is the horizontal distance traveled by the
projectile.
4. MAXIMUM HEIGHT – is the maximum vertical distance
achieved by a projectile.
5. ANGLE – represented by the Greek letter theta, θ

The angle of release affects the range and height of a


projectile. The maximum range is achieved if the projectile is
fired at an angle of 45o with respect to the horizontal as shown
in figure 2. An object launched at an angle of 30o will also be the
same if it is launched at 60o. The angles 30o and 60o are called
complementary angles because they add up to 90o. As the angle
of launch increases, the vertical displacement of the projectile
will also increase. At the highest point, the vertical component
of velocity is zero and the time to reach the maximum height is
half of the total time of flight.
Figure 2: Projectile motion
14
Sample Problem:
1. A baseball player leads off the game
and hits along home run. The ball leaves
the bat at an angle of 25o with a velocity
of 30 m/s.
a. What is the maximum height reached
by the ball?
b. What is the horizontal displacement
(range) of the ball?

LEARNING TASK 1

Direction: Identify the parts of the projectile motion illustration.

LEARNING TASK 2

height achieved by the ball at a given angle. (Assume that the speeds are the same at a different angle).

Questions:
1. What is the distance traveled by the ball at 20o?
2. How would you compare the distance travelled by the ball at angles of 35o to 55o?
3. At what angle of projection is the distance travelled maximum?
4. Compare the height achieved by the ball projected at 35o to 55o.

WEEK 3 : IMPULSE, MOMENTUM & COLLISION

Most Learning Competency (MELC 21)


• Relate impulse and momentum to collision of objects (vehicular collision) S9FE-IVb-36

Background Information for Learners

IMPULSE AND MOMENTUM

What makes things move? Why do some objects move continuously while some moving objects stop
suddenly? These might be some of the questions you had in mind but were not really answered in last year’s
science class. In grade 8, you learned that unbalanced forces cause stationary objects to move. In fact,
according to Newton’s Second Law of Motion, the greater the force applied, the larger the acceleration of an
object. It also stated that with the same force, heavier objects have smaller acceleration, thus, Force = mass
x acceleration or F=ma.

MOMENTUM

24
WHAT AFFECTS MOTION?

Consider a cargo truck with a mass of 10,000


kilograms traveling at a velocity of 40 kilometers per
hour and a small car with a mass of 2000 kilograms
traveling at the same velocity as shown below. If the two
vehicles suddenly lose their breaks and crash against the
brick wall, which do you think would be more damaging?
On what factor would the impact of collision depend if
their velocities are the same?

If you suggested that it would be the mass of the truck, then you are correct. Although the two vehicles
have the same velocities but different masses, the impact of the truck’s collision with the brick wall is far
damaging compared with the impact of the car’s collision with the brick wall.

LEARNING TASK 1 : WHAT AFFECTS MOTION

Direction:
Two cars of different masses are moving at the same velocities.
Complete each of the following statements by identifying the correct car being described.

1. Greater force is needed to stop car ___ because it has higher


inertia.
2. Bodies with higher momentum like car ____ is more difficult
to stop.
3. Car ___ has higher momentum than car ___ because it has a
higher mass.
4. Car A and B will only have the same momentum when Car ____ increases its velocity.
5. Car ___ has a momentum of 3,000 kgm/s

REMEMBER :
Momentum can simply be defined as the mass in motion. This tells us that object at rest has no
momentum. You will notice two quantities involved in this statement- the mass and the velocity. These
quantities are directly proportional to the magnitude of momentum. Increasing either the mass or velocity of
the object results in increasing the momentum.

On what two factors does momentum depend on? It depends on mass and velocity. Operationally,
momentum is defined as the product of mass and the velocity of an object. In equation,

p = mv
where
p = is the momentum
m = is the mass
v = is the velocity

Moving objects have velocities which can be measured directly or indirectly. For stationary objects where the
velocity is zero, the momentum is also zero.

Let us practice computing for momentum.

LEARNING TASK 2 : SOLVING MOMENTUM

A. Direction : Given the following data, solve for momentum using the formula p = mv

Object Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Momentum (kg-m/s)


Bird 0.03 18
Basketball player 100 5
Bullet .004 600
Baseball .14 30
Frog .9 12

B. Direction : From the concepts that you have learned, answer the check up questions:

1. Which has more momentum, a huge truck that is not moving or a small toy cart that is moving?
2. A moving car has momentum. If it moves twice as fast, its momentum would be __________ as
much.
3. Two cars, one twice as heavy as the other, moves down a hill at the same time. The heavier car
would have a _________ momentum.

C. Direction : Applying the equation learned, answer the following problems:

1. A bowling ball whose mass is 4.0 kg is rolling at a rate of 2.5 m/s. What is its momentum?

2. A skateboard is rolling at a velocity of 3.0 m/s with a momentum of 6.0 kgm/s. What is its mass?

3. A pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 0.5 kg and a momentum of 10 kgm/s. What is its velocity?

WHAT CAUSES CHANGES IN MOMENTUM?

Changes in momentum happen every time. A fast-moving car when suddenly stopped might have
damaging effects not only to the vehicle itself but also to the person riding it. Various devices have been
installed in vehicles in order to ensure the safety of the passengers. The use of seatbelts is even prescribed
by law in order to lessen injuries from car crashes. Inflatable airbags are also installed in most cars aimed to
increase the time of impact between the driver or passenger and the crashing vehicle in the event of an
accident. Can you think of some other safety devices installed on vehicles?

Driving your car with higher mass at a higher velocity gives your car a higher momentum. The more
momentum an object has, the more difficult it is to bring to a stop. Therefore, when someone suddenly crosses
the road while you are driving at a higher velocity, it would require you to apply greater force on the brake or
it takes you a longer amount of time or both to slow it down and bring it to a stop.

26
In this case, force and time are important to look at. The brake serves to apply a force to the car for a given
amount of time to change the car’s momentum. This amount of force applied multiplied by the duration of
time it was applied is called Impulse. And the greater the impulse, the greater the change in momentum. To
change the impulse, you can either increase or decrease the force applied and the time of contact.

Rearranging the equation above will help us understand how impact force is affected by the change in
momentum and the time of contact.

This shows that force of impact is directly proportional to the momentum of the body and
inversely proportional to the time of contact

The above equation shows that the impact force of a fast-moving car is higher and therefore it can cause
greater damage after the collision than the car moving at a lower velocity. On the other hand, the equation
tells us that the impact force could be decreased by extending the time of contact. Now, think about riding
in an out-of-control car. Would you prefer hitting a haystack or a brick wall? Your knowledge of physics will
help you save your life. Let us figure it out:

Since our goal is to make the force of impact lower to save ou r life, we need to extend the time. By hitting a
haystack instead of the brick wall, you are extending the contact time (during the time the momentum is
brought to zero). This results in lower force of impact. The law of physics tells us that if you are driving at a
high velocity and a crash causes the car to stop immediately, the driver and the passengers will be thrown
forward (Law of inertia!) at the same velocity causing major fatalities and death. This made the engineers
designed car’s crumple zones. These areas are built to bend or collapse because crumpling allows the vehicle
to take a little longer before coming to stop. Thus, impact forced is lowered and increasing the chance of
survival.

This is also the reason why the boxer often relaxes his neck and moves his head backward upon recognizing
that he will be hit in the head by the opponent. Moving backward
means extending the time of impact of the glove with his head thus,
decreasing the impact force during collision. The same principle is
applied in using parachute when jumping off a plane for example. The
air pushes the parachute upward making the time of contact of the
person and the ground longer. Extending the time of contact means
decreasing the impact force

27

LEARNING TASK 4: CUSHION IT

Direction: Draw the material that reduces the force of impact in each of the following situations on each
opposite box.

along with his motorcycle. What did he use to avoid
serious head injury

Most Learning Competency (MELC 22)


• Infer that the total momentum before and after
collision is equal. S9FE-IVb-37

Background Information for Learners

• In Grade 8, you have learned that an external force is


required to make an object accelerate. Similarly, if we
want to change the momentum of an object, an

momentum if there is no external force.
• Let’s take this situation as an example. Two children
on skateboards are initially at rest. They push each
other so that eventually the boy moves to the right
while the girl moves in the opposite direction away
from each other. Newton’s Third Law tells us that the
force that the girl exerts on the boy and the force
that makes the girl move in the other direction are of
equal magnitude but opposite direction. The boy and
the girl make up a system – a collection of objects
that affect one another (Figure 1). No net/unbalanced
external force acts on the boy-girl system, thus, the

total momentum of the system does not change boy-girl system before pushing is zero. After pushing,
(Figure 2). the total momentum of the boy-girl system is still zero

a vector quantity. The momentum gained by the girl magnitude but opposite direction ton the momentum

and after pushing.

Conservation of Momentum

• The total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision – this is
known as conservation of momentum.

• Momentum is conserved for a system of objects pushing away from each other.
• Momentum is conserved when two or more interacting objects push away from each other.
• The total momentum of as system of interacting objects remains constant regardless of forces between
the objects.
36
• Momentum is a vector quantity. It must have both magnitude and direction.
• The direction of momentum vector is always in the same direction as the velocity vector.
• For situation in which the two vectors are in opposite directions, one vector is considered negative and
other positive.

• Using the equation above, try to solve the sample problem.

ELASTIC AND INELASTIC COLLISIONS
A collision is an encounter between two objects resulting in exchange of impulse and momentum.
Because the time of impact is usually small, the impulse provided by external forces like friction during this
time is negligible. If we take the colliding bodies as one system, the momentum of the system is therefore
approximately conserved

The total momentum of the system before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the
system after the collision.

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

Collisions are categorized according to whether the total kinetic energy of the system changes. Kinetic
energy may be lost during collisions when (1) it is converted to heat or other forms like binding energy,
sound, light (if there is spark), etc. and (2) it is spent in producing deformation or damage, such as when two
cars collide. The two types of collision are:

1. Elastic collision – one in which the total kinetic energy of the system does not change and colliding
objects bounce off after collision.

2. Inelastic collision – one in which the total kinetic energy of the system changes (i.e., converted to some
other form of energy). Objects that stick together after collision is said to be perfectly in

Can you identify which type of collision is shown in each situation?

(a) (b)

Figure 3 : Example of collisions (a) colliding pendulum (b) colliding cars

In Figure 3a, a moving steel ball pendulum collides head-on with another steel ball. The collision is
elastic, that is, the total kinetic energy of the system (2 steel balls) is the same before and after the collision.
The total momentum of the system before the collision is equal to the product of the first ball’s mass and
velocity. The total momentum of the system after the collision must be equal to the total momentum before
the collision. The first ball comes to rest while the second ball moves away with a velocity equal to the
velocity of the first ball. This is the case when the two balls have equal masses. The momentum of the first
ball is transferred to the second ball. The first ball loses its momentum while the second ball gains
momentum equal to that of the first ball’s momentum (Figure 3a).

CONSERVATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY
Most Learning Competency (MELC 23)
• Perform activities to demonstrate conservation of mechanical energy (S9FE-IVd-40)

Background Information for Learners

What is energy?
The simplest definition of energy is "the ability to do work". Energy is how things change and
move. It's everywhere around us and takes all sorts of forms. It takes energy to cook food, to drive
to school, and to jump in the air.
In general, the energy acquired by objects upon which work is done is known as mechanical
energy. It has two categories:
1. Potential energy – it is commonly known as “energy at rest”. It is energy in matter due to
arrangements of its parts, its composition, location and structure.

Forms of Potential Energy

2. Kinetic energy - it is commonly known “energy in motion”. Energy in moving matter and wave.
Forms of Kinetic Energy

50
Energy Transformation
Energy transfer is the movement of energy
from one location to another. For example, when
electricity moves from a wall plug, through a
charger, to a battery.
Energy transformation is when energy changes
from one form to another – like in a hydroelectric
dam that transforms the kinetic energy of water into electrical energy.

LEARNING TASK 1: Energy Transformations

State the energy transformation from the given example below. Choose one from chemical, electrical, sound,
light, heat, elastic, solar or mechanical energy.

POTENTIAL AND KINETIC ENERGY EQUATIONS


Mechanical work done when equated to changes in the mechanical energies resulted to operational
definitions of kinetic and potential energy in the following equations:

LAW CONSERVATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY


In physics, law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed,
but only changed from one form into another or transferred from one object to another. One way to
think of it is to picture a car on a roller coaster. As the car travels up the coaster it is gaining potential
energy. It has the most potential energy at the top of the coaster. As the car travels down the coaster,
it gains speed and kinetic energy. At the same time, it is gaining kinetic energy, it is losing potential
energy. At the bottom of the coaster the car has the most speed and the most kinetic energy, but
also the least potential energy.
Moreover, total energy of an object (both potential and kinetic) is called total mechanical
energy of an object. For instance, An apple falling off a cliff has gravitational potential and kinetic energy, so
it therefore has mechanical energy.

where:
Em = is the total mechanical energy of an object
Ek = kinetic energy of an object
Ep = potential energy of an object

Consider this example:

52
A 14 300 kg airplane is flying at an altitude of 497 m at a speed
of 59.44 m/s. Determine the airplane's total mechanical energy.

Notice that the calculation and the answer have nothing to do


with direction, since energy is scalar.

Background Information for Learners

Heat and Internal Energy

Heat is a form of energy, as such, it may be transferred from one object to


another due to temperature difference. When heat is transferred, the energy becomes
part of the total energy of the molecules of the object and this is called internal energy.

Substances do not
contain heat. They contain
internal energy.
Does the glass of water
in Figure 1 have internal
energy? How do you say so?
Figure 1: Internal Energy in a glass of water

Internal Energy of a substance is the sum of molecular kinetic energy (due to the random motion of
the molecules), the molecular potential energy (due to forces that act between the atoms of a molecule and
between the molecules), and other kinds of molecular energy. It is the energy stored in a system by the
particles.

Heat is a transfer of internal energy. Internal energy can increase due to heat transfer like in friction.
When two objects slide against each other, mechanical energy is transformed into thermal energy. The
internal energy is equal to the heat of the system. The internal energy changes depending on whether heat is
absorbed or released by a system, and if work is done by a system to the environment, or if the environment
has done work to the system.

60 to gas
Figure 2: Phase Change from solid to liquid and
Phase change is also a change in internal energy. If a solid is heated, there is an increase in the internal
energy. At some point the solid can turn into a liquid (melting). If the liquid is continuously heated, there is
still an increase in the internal energy. At some point the liquid will turn to gas (evaporation). Internal energy
is an essential concept in the study of Thermodynamics.

Thermodynamics is the study of heat and temperature and their relation to energy
and work. The change in the internal energy of a system is evident in the First Law of Thermodynamics. The
Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed
into one form to another or transferred from one system to another. This is the basis of the First Law of
Thermodynamics.

First Law of Thermodynamics: The change in the internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added
to the system minus the work done by the system.

This law may be expressed in this equation:


U=Q–W
Where:

U = change in internal energy


Q = heat absorbed or released by the system
W = work done by or to the system

Heat and Work may be positive or negative depending on various conditions:

Quantity and Symbol Sign Condition

+
Heat enters the system
Heat (Q)
-
Heat leaves the system

+ The system does work on the environment.


Work (W)
The environment does work on the system.
_
Table 1 Conventional Signs used for Heat and Work in determining the change

Sample Problem:
A 3500 J of heat is added to a system and 2000 J of work is done on the system. What is the change
in the internal energy of the system?

Given: Q = 3500 J (+ since heat was added or entered the system)


W = -2000 J (- since work is done on the system)
Find: ∆ U =?
Solution: ∆U = Q – W
= 3500 J – (-2000 J)
∆U = 5500 J
The change in the internal energy is 5500 J. What would be the change in the internal energy if, for
the same amount of heat added to the system, and 2000 J of work is done by the system?

Given: Q = 3500 J (+ since heat was added or entered the system)


W = 2000 J (+ since work is done by the system)
61
Find: ∆U = ?
Solution: ∆ U = Q – W
= 3500 J – (2000 J)
∆U = 1500 J
The change in the internal energy is 1500 J.

WEEK 7: HEAT TRANSFER

Most Learning Competency (MELC 25)

• Explain how heat transfer and energy transformation make heat engines work

Background Information for Learners

In your Grade7, you have learned that heat is related to temperature. Heat transfer may change one’s
temperature or one’s phase. This change in temperature, either a decrease or an increase means that there is
an energy transfer in the form of heat.In this module it focuses on heat and work and how heat can be turned
into work and how work involves the release of heat.

From your previous lessons you learned that molecules exert force on one another. The closer the
molecules are to each other, the stronger the force between them like in solids and liquids. That is why, their
intermolecular forces are greater than those in gases. Because of these strong molecular forces, like in solids
and liquids particularly, separating these molecules requires work.

Heat and work are two different ways of how energy is transferred from one body to another but they
are closely related to each other. You don’t have to transfer heat to increase the thermal energy of a body.
For instance, if you rub your hands forcefully for a few seconds, they are warmed, but they were not brought
into contact with a hotter body. Work was done on your hands instead by means of friction.

In our everyday life, heat transfer is always evident. Many times we experience heat transfer when
we do majority of our household chores and even when we go on sports. But what is exactly is heat transfer?
Whenever there is a temperature change heat transfer takes place. It is the transfer of energy from a high
temperature object to a low temperature object. An example of heat transfer is boiling water. The hot stove
heats the kettle and the kettle heats the water inside. Once transferred, it can no longer be called heat; it
becomes the internal energy of the body. Transfer of energy from hot objects to cool objects stops when the
two attain the same temperature. The objects are said to be in thermal equilibrium. So many processes involve
heat transfer, so it is hard to imagine a situation where no heat transfer occurs.

38 °C 15 °C

Heat Flow

Hot object Cold object

There are three methods of heat transfer:

a. Conduction – is the transfer of heat due to direct contact between


two objects/materials with different temperatures. The process of
heat transfer in solids is called conduction.
Example: A pot on firewood

b. Convection – is the transfer of heat from one location to the other


by the movement of fluids.
Example: Boiling water

c. Radiation – is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic (EM) wave.


Example: microwave oven

When you rub your hands vigorously for a few second you will feel that it gets warmer. The same
happens when you hammer a nail, both tools become warmer. These are evidences that heat and work are
related.

WEEK 8 :GENERATION, TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC 26)

• Explain how electrical energy is generated, transmitted, and distributed (S9FE-IVh-j-46)


At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

• explain how electricity is generated, transmitted and distributed;


• trace the energy transformation in electrical power plants; and,
• cite ways on how to conserve electrical energy.

Background Information for Learners

Electricity – it is always there whenever you flip a switch or plug in a cord. Have you ever wondered how
electricity reaches us as you turn on the light switch? What processes does electricity have to go through to
reach us at home?

Here is a glimpse of how interesting electricity’s journey is from the generating station to your home.

LEARNING TASK 1: GENERATING ELECTRICITY

Objectives:

• Explain how electricity is generated


• Trace the energy transformation in
electrical power plants

Procedure:

1. Study the illustrations and read the passage


then answer the questions that follows.

82
Energy sources are either renewable or non-renewable. Renewable energy sources are those that can be
replaced faster than they are used. Non-renewable energy sources are those that are used faster than they
can be replaced. Therefore, non-renewable energy sources could be used up eventually. In most power plants,
electricity is generated by burning fuels. Coal, oil and natural gas are the common fuels for generating
electricity.

A power plant has three major parts: a boiler, a


turbine, and a generator. Fuels are burnt in the
boiler to boil water. The boiling water produces
steam. The steam drives the turbine. The turbine
rotates and drives the generator. Electricity is
produced when the generator rotates. During
this process, energy is converted from one form
to another. The chemical energy of the fuels is
changed into heat energy, which boils the water.
The heat energy in steam is changed into kinetic
energy in the turbine. Then the kinetic energy is
changed into electrical energy by the generator.

Renewable energy sources, on the other hand, include solar power, wind power, tidal power, hydroelectric
power and geothermal power. They can also be used to generate electricity:

• Solar power is the light and heat energy from the sun. Solar cells convert sunlight into electrical energy.
Solar cells can be found in calculators.
• Wind power is the kinetic energy of the wind. Wind turns large wind turbines. The wind turbines then
drive generators to generate electricity.
• Tidal power is found in the rise and the fall of tide. A dam is built across a river mouth. When the tide
rises and falls, water flows through water turbines in the dam. The water turbines then drive
generators to produce electricity.
• Hydropower is found in the water when it flows down from a high position. A dam is built at a high
position in a mountain to hold water. When water is released from the dam, water flows down quickly
and drives water turbines at the base of the dam, which in turn drive generators to produce electricity.
• Geothermal power is the heat energy in hot rocks under the surface of the earth. Water is pumped
down to the hot rocks. The heat turns water into steam. Steam is then used to turn steam turbines for
producing electricity.

Guide Questions:

1. Complete the diagram below by choosing the word from the box.

A B
Coal Heat energy Oil Generators Solar Tidal
Electricity Kinetic energy Steam Geothermal Solar cells Water turbines
Generator Natural gas Water Hydroelectric Steam Wind

a. Generation of electricity from non-renewable sources

83
b. Generation of electricity from renewable sources

Calculators

2. What is the difference between renewable energy sources and non-renewable energy sources?
3. What fuels are commonly used for generating electricity?
4. What is the name of the machine that generates electricity in a power plant?
5. Explain step by step how burning fuels in a power plant can generate electricity.
6. Explain step by step how the energy stored in fuels is changed to electrical energy in a power plant.
7. Choose one renewable source of energy and explain step by step how it can be used to generate
electricity.
8. Based on the renewable source of energy that you chose on Question 7, explain step by step how this
energy is changed to electrical energy in a power plant.

LEARNING TASK 2: TRACING POWER

Objective:

• trace the path of electricity from the generating station, transmission station and residential area
• differentiate between a step-up transformer and a step-down transformer
• identify specific areas where step-up transformers and step-down transformers are utilized.

84
Procedure:

1. Carefully analyze the pictures and descriptions below.

Guide Question:

1. Arrange the pictures in chronological order depicting the generation, transmission, and distribution of
electrical energy then write its corresponding description.
2. What are the different stations in the transmission of energy?
3. What do you notice about the size of the transmission lines as it reaches the consumers?
4. Does the size of wires and cables used matter in energy transmission?
5. What happens to the voltage that travels from the source to the consumers?
6. Differentiate step-up transformers from step-down transformers.

Indeed, electricity is essential to our daily lives. It has travelled a long way before it reaches your appliances
or gadgets at home so we should conserve and save it. Can you think of some ways on how we can save on
electrical energy consumption?

5. In a power station, fuels are burnt to boil water. The boiling water produces steam. The steam drives a
turbine. The turbine then drives a generator. The generator then produces electricity.
6. When the fuels are burnt, chemical energy of the fuels is changed into heat energy. Then heat energy is
used to boil water to produce steam. Steam carries the heat energy to the turbine. Then the turbine
changes heat energy into kinetic energy. Finally, the generator changes kinetic energy into electricity
energy.
