Module 1: Forces and Motion

“How will you describe Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM) qualitatively and
quantitatively?”

*The qualitatively is velocity changing at a constant rate since the rate of change of velocity is
acceleration, while quantitatively is motion in a straight line with constant acceleration

“How will you describe the horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile?”

*The horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant (a never changing in value), There is a

vertical acceleration caused by gravity; its value is 9.8 m/s/s, down, The vertical velocity of a
projectile changes by 9.8 m/s each second, The horizontal motion of a projectile is independent
of its vertical motion.
“What are the factors that determine the projectile’s flight?”

*Gravity-the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other
physical body having mass.

*Air Resistance- is the frictional force air exerts against a moving object. As an object moves, air
resistance slows it down. The faster the object's motion, the greater the air resistance exerted
against it.

*Speed of Release- the speed of a projectile at the instant of release. In throwing events (such as
discus, shot, and javelin), the speed of release is proportional to the average force exerted
through the projectile's centre of gravity.

*Angle of Release- he angle, relative to the ground, at which a body is projected into the air. The
angle of release is an important factor affecting the flight path of a projectile.
*Height of Release- the height above the ground level, or the height above the point of landing,
of the centre of gravity of a projectile immediately before it leaves the ground.

Spin- Spin is created by applying a force which is off centre to the object being thrown (or
kicked) at the point of release.

“What are other factors that may affect the motion of objects?”

*Force- is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force
can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be
described intuitively as a push or a pull.
*Friction- is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material
elements sliding against each other.

*Inertia- Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This
includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion.

“What is the total momentum before and after collision?”

*What is the total momentum of the system before collision? Momentum is the product of mass
and velocity. So the total momentum in a system before a collision, and after of anytime since it
is conserved, would be the sum of all the individual momentum.
“How will you relate the effects of collision in real life situation?”

*Consider the behavior of two lumps of clay, thrown at one another so that they collide head-on.
Due to the properties of clay as a substance, the two lumps will tend to stick. Assuming the
lumps are not of equal mass, they will continue traveling in the same direction as the lump with
greater momentum.
