Review that: Inertia is the tendency of the body to retain its state of motion (either at rest or in motion)
Review that: Mass is the quantitative measure of the objects inertia. The greater is its mass, the greater is its inertia.
Review that: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the Net Force applied on it and inversely proportional to its mass (Second Law: Law of Acceleration)
Review that: Acceleration is the objects change in velocity over a certain period of time
Case 1:
Two balls (tennis and bowling balls) are rolling with the same velocity on a smooth floor. Which between them is much easier to stop?
Time = 0 seconds
2 seconds later
Case 2 A soccer ball which is initially at rest experiences a change in velocity to 5m/s
How quick are your eyes? Identify velocity, force, mass and time.
Analyze and solve: A 25,000 kg bus from Tuguegarao moves at 25 m/s to Ilagan. What is the momentum of the bus? Assume that the velocity of the bus is constant.
Analyze and solve: John hits a 0.05 kg ball, going at a speed of 65m/s. What is the impulse to the ball?
Ft = mv with this:
Ft = mv
Question 1: If the boxer is able to make the duration of impact three times as long by riding with the punch, by how much will the force of impact be reduced?
Question 2: If the boxer instead moves into the punch as to decrease the duration of impact by half, by how much will the force of impact be increased?
