Activity For Momentum and Impulse Answers
I. Objectives
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.
Directions: In your own words, answer the following questions. (3 points each).
The quantity of motion that an item has is defined as momentum in physics. Mass and velocity
are the two factors that influence an object's momentum. Momentum is also proportional to
the mass and speed of an object (velocity).
The change in momentum of the item is equal to the object's impulse. Objects in a collision
experience an impulse, which produces and equals the change in momentum. However, The
force of impact is related to the body's momentum and inversely proportional to the contact
time.
3. How can you apply the learning you have learned during this activity?
This lesson have a variety of real-world applications. One of the examples is the usage of air
bags in autos. Air bags are employed in automobiles because they can reduce the force applied
to an object in the event of a collision. Air bags achieve this by increasing the time required to
stop the driver and passenger's momentum. Newton's first law states that when an automobile
collides, the driver and passenger tend to keep driving. Their momentum propels them towards
a windshield, which requires a large force applied quickly to stop their momentum. If the driver
and passenger collide with an air bag instead of the windshield, the impact's duration is
lengthened. The time length may be enhanced by a factor of 100 when impacting an object with
some give, such as an air bag. Increase the time by a factor of 100 and the force will drop by a
factor of 100. That's how physics works.
Activity 2. YOU CAN DO MORE!
Directions: Applying the equation learned, answer the following problems using the GRESA method, and
