III. PROCEDURES
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENTS’ ACTIVITY
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Greetings
 Good morning class  Good morning sir
2. Prayers
 May I request everybody to  (student stand for the prayer)
please stand up for our prayer?
 _______, lead the prayer  Alhamdulillah
 Everyone, you may take a seat  (students taking their seats.)

3. Checking of Attendance
 Class, who’s absent today?  None sir
 Okay if none, please give  (student clap)
yourselves 3 claps.
 Very good class
4. Setting of Classroom Standards
 Before we continue let us first  Be participative
recall our guidelines when we  Be productive
are having our lesson inside our  Be respectful
classroom. Anyone?
 Can I expect all of that from  Ye sir (chorus)
you class?
 Very good!
5. Review of past lesson
 What was our topic last  (different responses from
meeting? students)
 Anyone who can recall for the  It’s about motion
topic?
 Or in general that is projectile  Yes, ma’am
motion. I am right Michael?
 Again, what is projectile  Projectile motion is a type of
motion? motion along two-
dimensions acted upon by
gravity.
 Okay, very good! You have a
sharp memory,
 So, are we clear with projectile  Yes, sir(chorus)
motion?

B. MOTIVATION
 Before we proceed to our new
topic, let me show to you a
picture.

 What did you observe?  A guy playing a billiard.

 Very good. Now, I will show to
you a video clip and watch
carefully. (The teacher shows a
video)

 What did you observe in the  There are two vehicles

video clip?
 What do you think would
happen if both vehicles
continue moving towards the
intersection?
 Which car do you think has a
greater damage? Why?
approaching each other.
The other car is bigger than
the other.
 They would hit each other.
 The lighter vehicle would
have greater damage
because it has lesser mass
than the other vehicle.
 Very good!

C. Presentation of the topic

 Based on the presentation I  (students will give their ideas
present to you a while ago, about the topic of today)
what do you think our topic for
today?
 Okay all of you have a point,
but the precise topic for today
is impulse and momentum.

D. Lesson Proper
1. Activity
 Before we proceed to our
discussion, let us have a short
activity. This activity name
“Guess What”. I will divide you
into 4 groups.
 All you have to do is to guess
the word to be formed by
doing addition or subtraction
from the given pictures and
letters.
 The group got the highest
score is the winner.
 Are you ready?  Yes, sir (chorus)

 Speed

 Velocity

 Acceleration
  Mass

 Force

 Ok congratulations for the

group 3.

2. Analysis
 Before we finally continue to
our main topic for today,
please imagine this scenario.
 A hard tire and a bicycle tire
are running towards your
position at the same velocity. If
you were asked to stop one of
these tires using your strength.
 Which one would you choose  The bicycle tire sir. Because it
the hard tire or the bicycle tire? is much lighter than the car
Why? tire.
 Very good! a lot of you may
choose to stop the bicycle tire.
Simply because it is much
lighter than the car tire and
requires less force to stop. But if
you have to choose the hard
tire, be ready because it will
require more force to stop.
Both the car and bicycle tire
have the momentum.

3. Abstraction
 Now let’s go back to the video
presented a while ago. You
observe that there are two
vehicle approaching each
other.
 Again, what do you observe in
terms of size of the two
vehicles?
 Very good observation. The
one is larger than the other.
 How about how fast they
move?
 Very good. What do you think
the two factors that affect
momentum of an object?
 Very good class. How does
mass affect an object’s
momentum?
 How does velocity of an object
affect its momentum?
 Now we can have the
definition of momentum. (the
teacher will post the definition
of momentum). Please
everybody read.
 Mathematically, it is expressed
as:
 The one vehicle is bigger
than the other sir.
 The one vehicle is faster than
the other sir.
 Mass and velocity
 The greater the mass, the
greater the momentum of
the object.
 The greater the velocity, the
greater its momentum.
 Momentum is a vector
quantity, which means the
direction of an objects
momentum equals the
directions of its velocity.

i. p = m x v

Where:
P = momentum
M = mass
V = velocity

 For us to understand how  A 1250 kg car is moving at 7

momentum is works. Let’s have m/s. what is the car’s
an example. (the teacher will momentum?
post the problem example). Given:
Please everybody read. m = 1250 kg
v = 7m/s
Solution p =?
p= m x v
p= (1250kg) (7 m/s)
p = 8750 kg. m/s

 Take note that the units of

momentum are kg-m/s.
 Now let’s have another  A 12 kg object has a
example. (the teacher will post momentum of 20 kg-m/s
 the problem example). Please towards the east. What is the
everybody read. object speed in m/s?

Equation: Given:
𝑝 m = 20 kg
v= p = 12 kg-m/s
𝑚
Solution V =?
20 kg−m/s
𝑝= 12 𝑘𝑔

 What is the velocity?  1.67 m/s

 Very good! Its velocity is 1.67
m/s
 So, bear in mind class in terms
of collision, when the object
has greater mass, it has also
greater momentum and it is
difficult to change the motion
of that object. And the
direction of the object is
always the same as that of the
object’s velocity, just like the
two cars in our video clip.

 Any question class?  None so far sir.

 So now let’s proceed, again  The billiard ball will go distant
class what will happen to the sir as you hit it hard.
billiard ball when the player hit
the ball hard in collision with
other ball?
 Very good, how about when  The billiard ball will go slowly
you hit it slow, what you think in collision to the other ball
will happen to the ball? and the ball it hit will move
slowly too.
 Very good observation class.  Impulse is equal to the
Now to change the change in momentum of a
momentum of an object, two body which a force causes
quantities are important- the multiplied by the length of
force applied to the object time the force is applied.
and the length of time the
force is applied and this
product name “Impulse” (The
teacher will post the definition
of impulse). Please everybody
 read.

 In equation form
Fxt=mxv
Where:
F = force
T = time
M = mass
V = change in velocity
 Now let us look at this sample
problem.
 Let’s try this:
 Tiger woods hits a 0.02 kg golf
ball, giving it a speed of 25 Given:
m/s., what impulse does he m=0.02 kg
impart to the ball? v = 25 m/s – 0 = 25 m/s
 Any question class?
Solution:
= (0.02 kg) (25 m/s)
= 0.50 kg-m/s or 0.50 Ns
Conservation of Momentum
 Why do you think happen to  The momentum is conserved
the momentum of the billiard
balls when they strike another
ball?
 Very good. In collision whether
it is elastic or inelastic
momentum is known to be
conserve. This is because of the
law of conservation of
momentum.
 Law of conservation of
momentum states that when
two objects in an isolated
system collide the total
momentum of the objects
before the collision is equal to
the total momentum of the
object after the collision.
 Just like the laws of
conservation, momentum is
not created or destroyed.
 One of the consequences of
Newton’s third law is the low of
conservation of momentum.
 When you strike the ball, that
momentum is transferred to it
when the ball collides with
 other ball and the first ball
stops, all the momentum has
been transferred from the first
ball to second.
 If you have two objects in
collision you can rewrite the
equation as:

m₁v₁+m₂v₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

wherein:

 let’s take an example

 A 6 kg object travelling at 10
m/s collides head on with a 4
kg object travelling at 4 m/s.
determine the velocity after
collision of the first object if the
second other object moves to
the right with a final velocity of
10 m/s. assume that the
collision occurs in an isolated
system.
Solution

(6 kg) (10 m/s) +(4kg) (4 m/s) =

(6 kg) v₁ +(4 kg) (10 m/s)
76 kg m/s = (6kg) v₁ + 40 kg m/s
-6kg v₁ = 40 kg m/s – 76 kg m/s
-6 kg v₁ = 36 kg m/s
V = 6m/s

 Is there any clarification?  None sir (chorus)

4. Application
 Let us have another activity.  (students will go to their
Go with your respective group respective group silently).
and do the given task.
 I have here three problems to  (one students of each group
be solved; each group will goes into the front to choose
choose a number from 1 to 3. a number that correspond a
Group 1 correspond to the first problem to be solved.)
problem, group 2 correspond
to the second problem and
group 3 correspond to the third
 problem. The first group to
present their work is the one
who get the number one.
 Do you understand class?  Yes, sir (chorus)
 Before that please guided by
the following criteria:
 Correctness of answers –
20pts
 Presentation -15pts
 Cooperation - 10pts
 Time - 5pts  None so far sir.
Total – 50pts
 Do you have any question  Yes, sir (chorus)
class?
 If none, you may start now.  (students will start working by
group)
 Is everybody done? Ok, since
there is no response I assume
that you are all finish.
 Now I will choose 1 student to  (each group explain their
present it to the board and work to the board)
explain the process.  (Group 1 presentation…)
 (Group 2 presentation…)
 (Group 3 presentation…)
 Congratulations to all groups.  Yes sir
