Performance Task 6.1

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY
I. Objective: Explain the relationship between speed and acceleration
II. Materials: identical coins 2 pcs, table
III. Procedure:
1. Label the coins A and B.
2. Place coin A at the edge of a smooth table top so that it hangs over slightly.
3. Place a coin B on the same table top some distance from the overhanging coin A.
4. Slide the coin B across the table (such as by flicking with your finger) so that it strikes the overhanging coin A and
both coins fall to the floor below.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 but this time flick coin B harder so that it will have greater speed as it strikes coin A.
IV. Drawing of the Set-up:

V. Data and Results:

Table 6B. Initial Velocity and g
Trial Which coin hit the ground first?
1. Flicking coin B to hit coin A
2. Flicking coin B harder to have greater speed in hitting
coin B

VII. Observations and Discussions:

VIII. Conclusion

IX. Guide Question:

Does landing of both coins on the floor depend on the speed of the sliding coin? Explain.

Performance Task 6.2

FREE FALL
I. Objective: Explain uniform acceleration
II. Materials: 2 pcs of used bond paper (any paper of the same size), old notebook, coin
III. Drawing of the Set-up:

IV. Procedure:
1. Crumple up one piece of paper.
2. Hold the piece of paper on one hand and the crumpled paper on other hand at about meter from the ground.
Drop them simultaneously. Which falls to the ground faster?
Record at table 6D
3. Hold the piece of paper and the notebook at the same height. Drop them simultaneously. Which falls to the
ground faster? Paper or notebook?
4. Repeat Step 2 but this time pair the piece of paper with a coin. Complete table A.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 but this time at a higher height (caution:

Performance Task 3.3
INERTIA IN MOTION
I. Objective: Explain Newton’s First Law of Motion
II. Materials: ball, clearly-marked target (i.e., notebook paper, tape or pal), tape measure or ruler
III. Procedure:
1. Mark the starting line A and place a target about 10 meters away from it (C). Mark B about 1m (3.28 ft) before
the target and mark D 1 m after the target.
2. With the ball on your hand, you are about to sprint towards the target respectively and with a goal to drop the
ball on the target. Record your predictions on table 6D.
3. Hold the ball and do not let your elbow leave your side as you sprint toward the target and drop the ball. Do not
give the ball an initial velocity; hold the ball from its sides so that you can release freely your grip as you let it
drop.
4. Record where the runner released the ball and where the ball strikes the ground.
5. Draw the best diagram for each attempt to drop the ball on the target. Specify where the ball was released and
where it actually landed.
6. Repeat the experiment until the ball hits the target.
7. Repeat 2 but this time, do not sprint just run in a slower speed.
8. Repeat 2 but in a walking speed.
IV. Drawing of the Set-up:

V. Data and Results:

Motion Prediction Actual Remarks
(What will happen?) (What happened?)
1. Running in full sprint
2. Running in reduced speed
3. Walking speed
VII. Observations and Discussions:

VIII. Conclusion

IX. Question:
How will you relate today’s activity with Newton's First Law of Motion and with inertia?
