If the motorist is moving at 13 m/s and the train at 30 m/s to the right, then
the velocity m/E (motorist with respect to Earth) is moving at 43 m/s to the right. If
the motorist is moving at same velocity but this time to the left, the velocity m/E
(motorist with respect to Earth) is moving at 17 m/s to the left. It is just the algebraic
sum of the velocities.
If you notice we used subscripts on their velocities. For example, m/E means
velocity of motorcycle with respect to Earth. In writing this equations, make sure that
the first subscript on the left side of the equation is the first subscript on the first term
of the equation while the second subscript at the right side of the equation is the
found at the right side of the second term in the equation.

in Physics. There are 3 main problems here: how the event took place, how observers
in relative motion see it? And when do they see this event? Provide a situation where
these questions could be applied. Write your answers on the provided answer sheet.

reasonable mass moves with lower speed. On the other hand, objects with higher
speed and forces becomes a significant factor, the idealized model for projectile model
could not anymore fit. This is also true for lighter objects due to influence of external
forces which could affect the movement of the ball. Therefore, idealized model
considers weight as the only force.
The projectile motion is a combination of horizontal and vertical components of
motions with constant acceleration. These are independent from each other and we
will analyze them separately. These motions are just superimposed from each other.
The figure below shows the direction of velocity components along x and y-axis.
Acceleration vectors can then be shown
using the figure below. Since velocity
along x-component is constant, the
acceleration is zero. On the other hand,
velocity along y-component is moving at
constant acceleration. The value of
acceleration is equal to 9.8 m/s

The previous case is the simplest example for a projectile motion. This is when you
usually release a ball in a trajectory path or a bullet fired from a horizontal gun and
leaves it moving in trajectory path. The figure below shows another case of projectile
motion thrown at some angle. The projectile trajectory is a parabola. The velocity along
y component decreases and becomes zero when it reaches the highest peak. When it
goes back to Earth’s ground, the velocity along y component increases but directed in
opposite direction. The velocity along x component, on the other hand, is constant
throughout the path.

What I Can Do
You will be observing two coins dropping from a table. Coin A will be dropped from the
table while the other one will be projected from the table. You can use a phone camera
to take a video of the demonstration
floor. Coin A must be dropped directly while
Coin B must be thrown in a projectile. You can
do this by flicking the coin across the table to
strike the first coin at the table’s edge. Try to
aim “off center”, this will drop the coin straight
down while projecting the coin with some
horizontals peed.
drop the floor. You may ask assistance of two
person in your house or someone to record the time.
Record your data on the provided answer sheet.
Calculate the time it will take for the coin to drop using equations for free-falling
bodies and projectile motion. Assume a zero initial velocity for both coins.
Compute for the percentage difference between calculated time and the experiments.
Show your solutions on the provided answer sheet.
Lesson
3
Circular Motion
What’s In
The previous module discussed how the components of object’s motion changes
when it undergoes projectile motion. The motion is uniformly accelerated throughout
its journey due to influence of Earth’s gravity. This lesson will discuss circular motion
which is also influenced under constant acceleration although it moves at constant
speed.
What’s New
Satellites are considered as projectiles. These satellites are objects where the
only force experienced is the Earth’s gravity. When a projectile is launched with a
enough speed, it will orbit around the Earth. If the launch speed is too small, this will
lead the satellite to fall towards Earth. Hence, speed must be calculated carefully to
ensure it would not fall back toward Earth and will just maintain its height
throughout its journey.
What is It
When a particle moves in a circular path at
constant speed, the motion of the object is said to
undergo uniform circular motion. The acceleration
is not parallel to the path. It is always directed
towards the center. We will derive the relation.
Acceleration is always perpendicular to the velocity
vector and it changes direction continuously.

center; the linear speed of the passenger rim is constant and equal to 9 m/s.

Fill in the blanks. Write your answer on the provided answer sheet.
An object undergoing uniform circular motion has a acceleration pointed at the
_____________ although the speed is ___________________. The time it takes to complete
one full circle is called _________________________.
What I Can Do
A viral video of a Physics professor in Silliman University is currently circulating
because of his demonstration on circular motion. He securely tied the handle of a pail
through a string. Then, he filled it with water. He reminded the students that he will
swirl the system of objects and assured they will not get wet. Everyone was screaming
and when he was finished, the class was shocked no amount of water was spilled
throughout the demonstration. Why do you think this happened? Write your answer
