Post the following on the board:

PROJECTILE is any object that is given

an initial velocity and then follows a
path determined entirely by gravity.

TRAJECTORY is the path an object

follows as it moves through space.

PARABOLA is a curve that is shaped

like the path of something that is
thrown forward and high in the air and
falls back to the ground.

PROJECTILE MOTION is a form of

motion in which an object is thrown
near the Earth’s surface and it moves
along a curved path under the action of
gravity only.
 Which definition is described by
the labeled letters in the
picture?

A – Trajectory
B – Projectile Motion

This means that a projectile motion

is a combination of horizontal
motion and vertical motion.

To better understand projectile

motion, kindly watch this short
video lesson about our topic and I
am going to ask questions
afterwards.

Present the 4 Principles of Projectile

Motion.
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. There is a
constant vertical acceleration
of 9.8 m/s2, downward
(neglecting air resistance) for
projectiles on air.
3. The vertical and horizontal
motions are completely
independent of each other.
Therefore, the velocity of a
projectile can be separated
into horizontal and vertical
components.
4. For a projectile (neglecting
air resistance) that begins In sports, such as baseball, soccer,
and ends at the same height, discus throw, javelin throw, etc.
the time it takes to rise to its
highest point equals the time
it takes to fall from the
highest point back to its
original height of release.

Since now that you know what

projectile motion is, can you cite
some examples that show
projectile motion?

Objectives:
1. Capture a full trajectory of projectile motion on an inclined surface.
2. Investigate the relationship between the projection angle, the height, and the
range.

Materials:
marble, face powder, retractable pen, sticky tape, 2 popsicle sticks, 1/8 illustration
board, books, protractor, pencil, tissue paper

Procedures:
1. Tape the popsicle sticks together. Using tape, attach these firmly to one side of the
retractable pen to serve as the launching pad. Push the top end and position the
object to launch (marble).

2. Using a protractor and pencil, mark the bottom left of the illustration board with
angles at 15 degree-intervals (15°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 75°).
3. To complete the setup, elevate one end of the board using books with an angle of
inclination of about 20° - 40°. Use another book to hold the inclined surface in
place.

4. Push the top end of the modified retractable pen and firmly hold it on the bottom
left of the illustration board where the marked angles are drawn.
5. Carefully placed the powder-coated marble on its launching pad. Launch the
marble at 15° by pushing the clip of the modified retractable pen.
6. Trace the powder-marked trajectory with a pencil. Repeat steps 4 and 5 but this
time launching the marble at the other angles.
7. After completing the activity, answer the guide questions. Write your answers in a
1/8 manila paper. Prepare to present your answers to the class.

Guide Questions:
1. Describe the shape of the trajectory for projectiles fired at angles along an incline.
2. Compare the locations of the trajectory peaks in terms of maximum height.
 3. Compare the horizontal distances reached when they returned to the elevation
from which they were projected.
4. Among the trajectories of projectiles fired at angles, for the same launching
velocity, which covered the greatest range.
5. Among the trajectories of projectiles fired at angles, for the same launching
velocity, which recorded the highest peak?
6. Which pairs have trajectories have ranges that are almost equal?

Criteria for Grading:


 Correctness of Response – 30  Teamwork – 10 points
points TOTAL – 50 points
 Timeliness – 10 points
