I. LESSON TITLE Forces and Motion
II. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING Investigate the relationship between the angle of release and the height and
COMPETENCIES (MELCs) range of a projectile.
III. CONTENT/CORE CONTENT Projectile Motion
IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
I. Introduction (Time Frame: Day 1)
Types of Projectile Motion
I. Projectile Released Horizontally (θ = 0°)
A projectile launched horizontally has no initial vertical velocity. Thus, its

vertical motion is identical to that of a dropped object. The downward
velocity increases uniformly due to gravity as shown by the vector arrows of
increasing lengths. The horizontal velocity is uniform as shown by the identical
horizontal vector arrows.
The dashed black line represents the path of the object. The velocity
vector v at each point is in the direction of motion and thus is tangent to the
path. The velocity vectors are solid arrows, and velocity components are
dashed. (A vertically falling object starting at the same point is shown at the
left for comparison; vy is the same for the falling object and the projectile.)
For a projectile beginning and ending at the same height, the time it takes
a projectile to rise to its highest point equals the time it takes to fall from the
highest point back to its original position.

II. Projectiles Launched at an Angle (θ > 0°)
When a projectile is launched upward at an angle, its velocity has two components:
1. a constant horizontal velocity that moves in the same direction as the launch, the acceleration of which is zero; and
2. an upward positive vertical velocity component that is decreasing in magnitude until it becomes zero at the top of the
trajectory (therefore it no longer goes up any further). But because gravity makes it accelerates downward at a rate of 9.8
m/s per second or 9.8 m/s2, (therefore it stays at rest only for an instant) it will start to descend with an increasing negative
vertical velocity until it is stopped by something.
So as the projectile moves forward horizontally with uniform

velocity, its vertical velocity is also accelerated creating a
trajectory that is a parabola. The trajectory is shown in black
dash, the velocity vectors are in solid arrows, and velocity
components are dashed.

D. Development (Time Frame: Day 2)
Learning Task 1: Figure Analysis

The motion of a projectile may be described in terms of range and the maximum height it reaches. But what affects these
kinematic quantities? Below is a figure of the height reached and range covered by a projectile launched at the same initial
velocity but at different angles. Study it carefully and answer the questions that follow.

5. At what angle/s does it reach the farthest? the nearest?
6. What angles cover the same range? What do you call these angles?
7. Does the projection angle affect the range covered? Explain briefly.
