The document discusses projectile motion and its key principles. It notes that all projectiles follow principles of constant horizontal velocity and vertical acceleration due to gravity. The horizontal and vertical motions are independent and can be treated separately. It provides examples of projectile motion experiments using marbles on inclined planes and imaginary targets to model real-world trajectories.

In activity 4, the concept check on

horizontal uniform velocity motion and


vertical uniform acceleration motion I one
dimension should serve as a reminder the
all projectiles regardless of its path will
always follow these principles.
•1. projectiles always maintain a constant horizontal
velocity (neglecting air resistance).
•2. projectiles always experience a constant acceleration along
the axis the constant net force is directed to. There is a constant
vertical acceleration of 9.8m/s, downward (neglecting air
resistance)for projectiles on air . for projectiles on inclined
surfaces, the constant vertical” acceleration will be smaller than
9.8m/s down the tilt which is equal to gsin
•3. the horizontal and vertical motion are completely
independent of each other. Therefore, the horizontal motion
and vertical motion can be treat separately.
•For the third principle that can be done to show the
independence of the two component of projectiles
motion? Considering horizontal and vertical component
separately Is important when solving projectile exercises
and investigating real life application

•Meanwhile, the activity on capturing the motion of the


marble launched on an inclined board can model real
projectile motion trajectories. Instead of launching the
projectile in a vertical plane, it was launce up an incline
where the powder-coated marble leaves a trail of white
mark as it slide down the inclined illustration board.
•Aside from gravity, other force such as normal and
frictional force act on the marble thus its acceleration
is smaller than the 9.8m/s rate due to gravity. In spite
of this, the trajectories are still a result of a constant
horizontal velocity and a “vertical motion “ of
constant acceleration.

•And yes, there are other example of motion in two


dimensions. Projectile motion is only one example of
it. Do the next activity to explore the idea that
projectile trajectories can be matched.
 Q 19. In what direction or orientation did you
throw the ball?

-the ball was thrown horizontally


from the top.
o Q20.How would you describe the ball’s path and
motion?

-the ball’s path is curved downwards similar to the


drawn graph. At the start it moved horizontally
forward but as it moved forward it also moved
downward.
 Q21. How many tries did you make to match the
curved paths?

-depend on the thrower’s skills


 Q22.How many tries did you make before you matched
the curves this time?

-depends on the thrower’s skills, predictably lesser


trials than before of the visual goal.
 Q23.What does this tell you regarding visuals or
imaginary targets in sports?

-Aiming at imaginary goals or visual


makes practice easier and results to better
approximations of flight.
 Q24.In what direction or orientation did you throw the
ball?

-The ball was thrown upward from the bottom left an


angle from horizontal.
 Q25.How would you describe the ball’s path and
motion?

-The ball moved up in a curved path until it reached


maximum height and then it moved downward still
following the curved path
 Q26. aside from doing more trials or practices for this
parabola, where will you place the imaginary target to
aim for better matching results?

-It is the best to have an imaginary target at the top of


the curve rather than anywhere else along the
parabola.
 Q27.Based on the activity, is it possible that the ball
will end at the higher elevation than its starting level?

-In both throws the balls always end up on a lower


elevation. It is not possible that the ball will end at a
higher elevation than its starting lvel.
 Q28.What force got the ball projected?

-the initial push from the throw.


 Q29. What force continued to act on the ball when in
mid-air?

-The force of gravity acted at all times on the ball.


 Q30. How will you compare or contrast the horizontal
and vertical spacing?

-The spacing between horizontal lines is equal unlike


the spacing between vertical lines which increases by
the square of a span/unit.
 Q31. What does the spacing in the set of vertical lines
indicate about the vertical displacement and vertical
velocity of the projectile motion?

-The increasing distance between vertical lines


indicate that the vertical motion is accelerated due to
gravity.
 Recall that vectors are quantities with magnitude
and direction. And any vector can be represented by
a vector arrow, the length of which corresponds to the
magnitude, while the arrow point in the direction of
the vector quantity

 For a horizontally projected object, the displacement


and velocity vector both have magnitude and direction
that you can separate into components.
