Now class I will play a short video clip

and after that I’ll ask you questions.

[The teacher will play a video clip]

What game was being played in the [a student will raise a hand to answer and will
video? be called]
The game is called angry birds.

Yes sir
Did you played that game back then?
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will
be called]
How do you play that game? Sir you throw the birds to hit the pigs building
to win.

[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be

called]
What happen to the birds when thrown?
The fly in the air.

[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be

called]
What do you think are the factors that
Sir the angles on how you throw the birds.
make the birds destroy the pig’s
buildings?

Very good! Now class I showed you that

video clip because our lesson for today is
about Projectile Motion.

D. Lesson Proper
Now class, We need to define projectile
motion. Can somebody read the meaning
of projectile motion?
[the teacher will show the definition of
projectile motion]
Very good! Projectile motion refers to the
motion of an object that is thrown, or
projected into the air at an angle.
Can you give examples of projectile
motion that you’ve done or experienced?
Very good! Can you give another
example?
Very good class. Projectile motions are
everywhere it happens every day, here are
my examples of projectile motions.
(the teacher will show different examples
of projectile motions)
Now class now that we know what
projected motion is, do you think
projectile motion has components?
Okay, so what are these components?
Very good! We have the horizontal and
the vertical motion.
First we have Horizontal motion. Can
someone read the meaning of horizontal
motion?
Thank you! Horizontal motion is constant
meaning a fixed value or doesn’t change
because there are no other elements that
affects it.
Can you give examples of a horizontal
motion?
Very good! Can someone read the
meaning of vertical motion?
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object
that is thrown, or projected into the air at an angle.
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
Sir a ball being kicked.
A ball being thrown
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
An arrow being shot
A gun being shot
Yes sir there is!
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
The horizontal and vertical motions
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
The horizontal motion of a projectile is constant
because no gravitational force acts horizontally.
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
The vertical motion of a projectile is nothing more
than free fall with a constant downward
acceleration due to gravity.
 Thank you! Vertical motions are just like
free fall, any motion of a body where
gravity is the only force acting upon it.
Also has a constant downward
acceleration due to gravity. [a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
Can you give situations where vertical
motion occurs?
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
Very good! Now class do you think that No Sir!
vertical motion and horizontal motion
affect each other?

Okay nice answer! Vertical and

Horizontal motion are independent
motions meaning they don’t affect each [a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
other. called]
Sir a ball being thrown.
Class, Can you give me an example of
horizontal and vertical motion combined
together? [a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
A curve shape.
Very good! What do you think is formed
when the two were combined?

Yes it forms a curve! Good! And that

curve is what we call as the trajectory of a
projectile.
Can someone read me the meaning of
trajectory and parabola?
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
The path of a projectile is called its trajectory.
The trajectory of a projectile in free fall is a
parabola.

Very good! No class remember that A

projectile, once projected, continues in
motion by its own inertia and is
influenced
Only by the downward force of gravity.
Now can someone read the next slide?
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
An object projected horizontally will reach the
ground in the same time as an object dropped
vertically.

No matter how large the horizontal velocity is, the

downward pull of gravity is always the same.

Thank you. Now here are images that will

help you more about the differences of
horizontal and vertical motion. Yes sir!

E. Valuing
 Yes sir!
Now class do you think weapons like
guns and arrows have projectile motion?
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
Do you think it’s dangerous to use guns called]
and other weapons? Sir we may harm others, or kill them.

What do you think will happen? [a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
We should not use these things, hold these things
because they are unsafe.

How do you think we can avoid these
occurrences?
Do you think it is important to be aware
of these dangerous weapons? Why?
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
Yes sir! Because It can cause trouble and harm
others.

[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be

F. Generalization
So class from our discussion can someone
describe projectile motion?
called]
Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object
that is thrown, or projected into the air at an angle
[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be
called]
The horizontal and vertical motion.

Very good! What are the two types of

motion in projectile?

[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be

Very nice! It is the horizontal and vertical
motion
Can someone differentiate or describe the
two motions?
called]
There is a major difference between the vertical
and the horizontal motion of a projectile. This is
that the vertical motion is changing, but the
horizontal motion is constant

[a student will raise a hand to answer and will be

called]
No sir!

Are the two dependent with each other?

G. Evaluation
Students will be given 5 minutes to
answer.
Direction: Choose the best answer and
write the letter on the space provided.

1. Suppose a snowmobile is equipped

with a flare launcher which is capable
of launching a sphere vertically. If the
snowmobile is in motion and
launches the flare and maintains a
constant horizontal velocity after the
launch, then where will the flare land
(neglect air resistance)?
 a. On the snowmobile.
b. Head the snowmobile.
c. Behind the snowmobile.

2. Suppose an airplane drops a flare

while it is moving at constant
horizontal speed at an elevated height.
Assuming that air resistance is
negligible, where will the flare land
relative to the plane?
a) Directly below the plane.
b) Below the plane and ahead of it.
c) Below plane and behind it.

3. Consider these diagrams in answering

the following questions.

Which diagram (if any) might

represent ...
a) The initial horizontal
velocity?
b) The initial vertical velocity?
c) The horizontal acceleration?
d) The vertical acceleration?
e) The net force? 1.Suppose a snowmobile is equipped with a

Who wants to read and answer number 1? then where will the flare land (neglect air
resistance)?
a) On the snowmobile.
b) Head the snowmobile.
c) Behind the snowmobile.
The answer is A

2. Suppose an airplane drops a flare while it is

is negligible, where will the flare land
CORRECT relative to the plane?
Alright number 2 a) Directly below the plane.
(teacher calls a student) b) Below the plane and ahead of it.
c) Below plane and behind it.
The answer is A

3. Consider these diagrams in answering the

following questions.

Okay Great! Let’s have number 3
(Teacher calls a student)
Which diagram (if any) might represent ...
f) The initial horizontal
velocity?
g) The initial vertical velocity?
h) The horizontal acceleration?
i) The vertical acceleration?
j) The net force?
a. The initial horizontal velocity is A (It's the only
 horizontal vector).
b. The initial vertical velocity could be B (if
projected down) or C (if projected upward).
c. None of these; there is no horizontal
acceleration.
d. The vertical acceleration is B; it is always
downwards.
e. The net force on a projectile is B (there is only
one force - gravity; and it is downwards).

That is correct! (The students will pass their quizzes)

Alright anyone has questions?

Alright class write your scores and pass it

forward.

IV. ASSIGNMENT:

1. Why does the horizontal component of a projectile’s motion remain constant?

2. Why does the vertical component of a projectile’s motion undergo change?
3. A projectile is launched vertically at 100 m/s. If air resistance is neglected, at what speed does
it return to its initial level?
In a long bond paper, draw 2 situations in which you can observe projectile motion and explain each
situation.
