I. Review of the Past Lesson

Before we proceed on our topic for
today. Let's have a review first on our
discussion last meeting.

Projectile motion is any object that

moves in two dimensions and forms a
curved path and acted upon the gravity.

motion?

II. Motivation
We will be having an activity today.
This activity is called “Supply Me”.
Each number has a corresponding letter,
you will supply the letters that
correspond for what is asked.
Example, what letter in the alphabet
corresponds to number 1? Letter A

So, you will supply letter A to the

number 1.

Very Good! This has something to do
with our topic today.

III. Presentation of the Lesson.

Class, imagine that you are running as

fast as you can but did not notice that
someone is inches away from you.

What will happen? I'll get bumped into that person.

Why? Because it will be difficult to stop all of

a sudden when you are at the peak of
running.
What you probably felt is called as
momentum.
All moving objects have what Newton
called "quantity of motion" today we
call it momentum.

In our lesson today, we will study

momentum and the factors affecting it.
You have said a while ago that it is
difficult to stop all of a sudden when
you are at the peak of doing something.
We've said that it is momentum.

Now from that experience what do you

think momentum means? Momentum is the difficulty faced by a
moving object to undergo sudden stop.

Very good!

Momentum can also be defined as

"mass in motion". All objects have
mass so; if an object is moving, then it
has momentum, it has it's mass in
motion.

Momentum is affected by two factors.

Let's find out with the following

examples.

The harder to stop is the bicycle that

Which is harder to stop,the bicycle that moves fast.
moves slow or the one that is fast?
Consider the two identical cars. Car A is
traveling at 80km/hr while Car B is
traveling at 30 km/hr.

Car A, being faster, is more difficult to

Which of the two cars would be more
stop and has more momentum.
difficult to stop? Which of the two cars
has more momentum?

What could be the factor that affects the Velocity

momentum of the bicycle and the car?

That's right.
How does the velocity of an object The greater the velocity, the greater its
affect its momentum? momentum.
The momentum of an object is in the
same direction as its velocity.
The more momentum a moving object
has, the harder it is to stop.

Now Let us verify if mass really affects

momentum.

If both dogs have the same velocity, but Bigger dog.

one is bigger and the other one is
smaller, which one has the greater
momentum?
Another example is a heavy truck and a A heavy truck.The heavier car is more

among the vehicle do you think will extensive damage than a small car.
have a greater momentum and is
difficult to stop?

What do you think is the reason why Because they possess greater mass.
they have greater momentum?
The mass of an object affects the
amount of momentum the object has.
The greater the mass, the greater the
momentum of the object.
Based from the given examples, what Mass and Velocity.
are the factors that affect momentum?

Let us now proceed on how to solve

problems using the formula of
momentum.

What do you think is the mathematical

p=mv
formula for momentum?
Operationally, it can be defined as the
product of mass and velocity.

p=mv.

Just always remember the triangle

method to get the unknown variables.
where p is the momentum in
kilogram.meter per second ( kg.m/s)
m is the mass of the moving object in
kilogram(kg)
v refers velocity of the moving object in
meters per second(m/s)

If you are looking for mass, the formula

is m=p/v
If you are looking for the velocity, the
formula is v=p/m

Remember that momentum is a vector

quantity because it has both magnitude
(size) and direction. The standard metric
unit of momentum is kg.m/s.
So now, what conclusion can you make Momentum is directly proportional to
base from the equation? the mass and velocity.
This simple relationship means that
doubling either the mass or velocity of
an object will simply double the
momentum.
Now, let’s try to solve the following
sample problems using these formulas.
1. A beach ball whose mass is 4.0 kg is
moving westward at a rate of 2.5 m/s.
What is its momentum?
In calculating worded problems, for you
to be able to calculate the unknown
quantity there are certain steps to be
followed.
First, you need to identify the given.

In the problem, what are the given m= 4.0kg

variables?
v= 2.5 m/s

What is the unknown?

Momentum

What will be the equation to be used?

p=mv
Solution:

p= 4.0 kg x 2.5 m/s

p= 10 kg. m/s, westward

2. A 8 kg bowling ball is rolling in a

straight line toward you. If its m= 8 kg
momentum is 16 kg.m/s. How fast it p= 16 kg.m/s
is traveling?
v= 16kg.m/s

8kg
v=2 m/s

3. A track athlete throws a discus that

has a momentum of 42 kg.m/s into a
field with a velocity of 21 m/s. What is p= 42 kg.m/s
the mass of the discus?
v= 21 m/s

m= 42 kg.m/s

21 m/s

m= 2kg
IV. GENERALIZATION.

* What does momentum mean?

Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion". All objects have mass; so if an

object is moving, then it has momentum, it has its "mass in motion".

* What are the factors that affect momentum?

Mass and Velocity

*What is the relationship of momentum to the mass and velocity?

Momentum is directly proportional to the mass and velocity of an object.

This means that doubling either the mass or velocity of an object will simply double
the momentum. When we are looking for momentum the formula is p=mv. For other unknown
variables we can use the triangle method.

V. EVALUATION:

I. Comparing Greater Momentum

Directions: From the different pairs of objects, which has a greater momentum?

Put the symbol > or < on the blank provided as to which of the objects possess greater
momentum.

1. A brick dropped from a building. A paper dropped from a building.

2. A basketball rolling with a A bowling ball rolling with a velocity

velocity of 5 m/s. of 5 m/s.

3. A truck traveling at a 20 km/ hr. A truck traveling at 40 km /hr.

4. A vehicle in motion. A vehicle at rest.

5. A 60- kg man running. A 60- kg lady walking.

II. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE

Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is incorrect then
underline the word/s that make the statement wrong.

1. Mass and velocity are factors that affect momentum.

2. Two vehicles, one twice as heavy as the other, move down a hill at the same time.
The heavier the car would have a lesser momentum.

3. The momentum of an object is in the same direction as its velocity.

4. Momentum is measured in gram meters per second.

5. A moving truck has momentum. If it travels twice as fast, its momentum would be
twice as much.
