I – LEARNING COMPETENCY CODE WITH CODE

Relate the laws of motion to the bodies in uniform circular motion

(S8FE-Ib-18)

II – BACKROUND INFORMATION FOR THE LEARNERS

What happens to you when you seat over without chair? – you fall. How about
if you seat on a chair? – you don’t fall. Why? This is because the forces acting on
you are balanced. The force of gravity pulling you down against your chair is
balanced by the force of the chair pushing up against you.
This learning material helps you understand why you do not fall as you sit on
a chair, as you walk on a road or as you lean on a wall. In this learning material, you
will be performing activities and answering questions about the third law of motion.
The third Law of Motion, is known as the Law of Interaction which states that for
every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Whenever one object exerts a
force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on
the first object. For example, you seat on a chair, the force you exert on the chair has
equal amount of the force exerted by the chair on you.
A Force is simply defined as a push or pull resulting from an interaction
between two objects. Whenever there is a force, there are two objects involved – the
object that pushes and the objects that pulls in different direction. While the direction
of the pushes ( or pulls) is opposite, the strength or magnitude is equal.
In the example given above, there are two forces resulting from this
interaction – a force exerted by you on the chair, and the force exerted by the chair
on you. These two forces are called action and reaction forces which is stated in the
Newton’s Third Law of motion.

III – GENERAL DIRECTION

Take your time to read and answer carefully all the activities provided on
this activity sheet. It is very important for you to always follow the given
instructions for
every activity to avoid incorrect responses. Write your answers in the provided
spaces on this activity sheet. You can use another sheet of paper or bond paper if
necessary.

Activity 1 – Fill in the Blanks!

A - Using the word box below, fill in the blanks to make to statement correct.

strength direction true True

Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the
second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first
object.

1. The Newton’s third law of motion states that

______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________.

against the floor.

Activity 2 – Action and Reaction Forces Are Reciprocal ( Opposite) on an

Object

Direction: Read and analyze the situations below which you usually do in your
life. Then answer what is asked in each situation. Number 1 was already done for
you.

1. You throw a ball against the wall.

What is the action force? The ball puts a force on the wall.
What is the reaction force? The wall puts a force on the ball so it bounces
off.

2. You put your science modules on top of the table.

What is the action force? __________________________________________

What is the reaction force? _________________________________________

3. Whenever you win in a chess game with your brother, you tap the shoulder of
your brother.
What is the action force? __________________________________________

What is the reaction force? _________________________________________

4. When you answer your module, you have to take your seat properly. What is
the action and reaction force involved in seating on a chair.

Action force: ____________________________________________________

Reaction force: __________________________________________________
