Knowns
● Mass = 0.175kg
○ The disc is labelled 175g.
● Time = 0.2s
○ We timed the video.
● Displacement = 1m
○ We measured the distance of
the disc from rest to release.
Unknowns
● Velocity = 0m/s to 10m/s
○ We found the average velocity
and then used the initial to find
the final.
● Impulse = 1.75kg✕m/s
○ We found the change in
momentum (Δmv).
Equation Walk Through of Impulse
Velocity = 0m/s to 10m/s Impulse = 1.75 kg*m/s
Vavg = ΔD/Δt 1m/0.2s = 5 m/s I=ΔP=Δmv=mv1-mv0
We got the average velocity from 0.175*10 - 0.175*0 = 1.75kg*m/s
displacement and time.
We found the change in momentum,
Vavg = (V1-V0)/2 which will get impulse.
2Vavg = V1-V0=V1 2*5=10m/s
We got the final velocity from
average and initial.
