Sometimes when things are falling

apart they may actually falling into


place. Sometimes you fall for the
wrong persons. Well actually at
first, we do not know it’s the wrong
person until we feel pain, until we
cheated on.
The teacher will let the students
watch the video on the experiment
on the falling hammer and feather
on the moon.
 Hammer and Feather dropped on
the Moon.mp4
 Guide Questions:
 What happened when the astronaut
let go of the feather and hammer?
 What do you think is the reason
why did the hammer and feather
fell together?
Activity
1-“Please be
careful with my egg”
 Problem:
 Can a parachute made out of
plastic bags and string save an
egg from a two-story fall?
 Objective/s: To know the concept of
free fall by performing the activity
 To identify the factors affecting the
free fall of the object
 Materials: manila paper,
thread, scissor, Plastic heavy-
duty trash bag,
 Plastic sandwich bags, String,
Hole punch, Eggs

 Procedure:
 1. Cut a square from the garbage bag that is 20
inches on each side.
 2. Use a hole punch to punch one hole in each
corner of the piece of plastic garbage bag.
 3. Cut four pieces of 20-inch long string.
 4. Thread a piece of string through each hole in the
bag and secure by tying the string firmly on each
corner.
 5. Place one egg into the plastic sandwich bag, twist
the top of the bag and tie closed with the loose ends
of strings. This will also attach the parachute to the
bag holding the egg.
 6. Repeat the experiment with different sizes
of bags and strings (the length of the strings
should match the size of one side of the
square).
 7. Think about what you know about wind
resistance. Which size bag do you think will
allow the egg to drift to the ground slowly?
Make a note about you think will happen. This
is called the hypothesis.
 8.]Take the egg parachute to the second floor
of your house and have a parent help you drop
it from the window.
 Guide Questions
 1. How fast did the egg fall with each size of
parachute?
 2. When did the egg break and when didn’t it?

 3. Write your observations in a notebook.


 4. Using 2nd of motion, if the mass, for instance,
of the 2 eggs is 1 kg and 0.50 respectively, what
is the value of corresponding net force that acts
on each free falling object?
 5. Using 2nd law of motion, what is the effects of
egg’s gravity force and mass on its acceleration?
 PRACTICE
 True or False
 1. The hammer encounters a smaller force of air
resistance than the feather and therefore falls faster.
 2. Both the hammer and the feather have the same force
of gravity, yet the acceleration of gravity is greatest for
the hammer.
 3. Both hammer and the feather have the same force of
gravity, yet the feather experience a greater air
resistance.
 4. Each object experiences the same amount of air
resistance, yet the hammer experience the greatest force
of gravity.
 5. The hammer experiences less air resistance and then
the feather and thus reaches a larger terminal velocity.

 ENRICHMENT
 A paint brush is dropped from the top of a
tall ladder and free falls to the ground. What
changes, if any would be observed of the
velocity and acceleration of the brush as it
falls?
 A textbook is dropped from the second story
stairs and free falls to the ground. What
changes if any, would be observed of the
velocity and acceleration of the book?
 EVALUATION
 In your own words, explain why falling
objects near the earth surface, in the
absence of air resistance have constant
acceleration applying the Newton’s
second Law of motion.
