Projectile Motion
Grade 9 Science | DepEd Curriculum
Learning Competencies
• Describe projectile motion qualitatively
• Label parts of projectile motion
• Describe projectile motion quantitatively
What is Motion?
• Motion is the change in position of an object
• It can be straight or curved
• Projectile motion is a type of curved motion
What is Projectile Motion?
• Motion of an object thrown or launched into
the air
• Only gravity affects the motion (air resistance
ignored)
• Examples: thrown ball, kicked soccer ball
Key Idea
• Horizontal and vertical motions are
independent
• Gravity affects only the vertical motion

Trajectory
Range
Maximum Height
Vx (Horizontal)
Vy (Vertical)
Horizontal Motion
• Constant velocity (Vx)
• No horizontal acceleration
• Same speed throughout the motion
Vertical Motion
• Affected by gravity
• Acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward
• Velocity changes with time
Qualitative Description
• Projectile moves forward while falling down
• Horizontal motion is uniform
• Vertical motion is accelerated
Quantitative Description
• Uses equations of motion
• Horizontal and vertical motions are solved
separately
Sample Problem 1
• A ball is thrown horizontally at 10 m/s.
• How far will it travel in 2 seconds?
Solution
• Given: Vx = 10 m/s, t = 2 s
• Range = Vx × t
• Range = 10 × 2 = 20 m
Sample Problem 2
• What happens to vertical velocity at maximum
height?
Solution
• Vertical velocity becomes zero at maximum
height
Quick Quiz
• 1. What force affects vertical motion?
• 2. Is horizontal velocity constant?
• 3. What is the path of a projectile called?
• 4. Where is vertical velocity zero?
• 5. What motion is affected by gravity?
• 6. True or False: Horizontal and vertical
motions are independent
Quiz Answer Key
• 1. Gravity
• 2. Yes
• 3. Trajectory (parabola)
• 4. At maximum height
• 5. Vertical motion
• 6. True
For Different Learners
• Lower learners: Focus on diagrams and
concepts
• Average learners: Solve simple problems
• Advanced learners: Analyze effects of angle
and speed
Daily Lesson Log Alignment
• Objective: Describe projectile motion
• Materials: Slides, board, ball
• Procedure: Motivation → Lesson → Practice
→ Quiz
• Assessment: Quiz and oral recitation
Summary
• Projectile motion has horizontal and vertical
components
• Gravity affects only vertical motion
• The path is a parabola
