    Study Notes

    Momentum and Impulse

    • Momentum is defined as inertia in motion
    • It's a vector quantity
    • Momentum can be calculated as p = mv, where:
      • p = momentum
      • m = mass
      • v = velocity
    • Momentum is expressed in units of kg • m/s (kilogram-meters per second)
    • The greater the mass or velocity of an object, the greater its momentum
    • A stationary object has zero momentum

    Impulse

    • Impulse is defined as the product of force and time (I = Ft)
      • I = impulse
      • F = force
      • t = time
    • Impulse is expressed in units of Newton-seconds (N • s)
    • Impulse changes momentum (Ft = Δp)

    Balat Sibuyas Activity

    • Students sing the school hymn while passing a "sibuyas" (onion)
    • The student holding the "sibuyas" when the song stops answers the question in the current layer they are peeling.
    • Cycle repeats until all questions are answered.

    Objectives

    • Relate impulse and momentum to collisions of objects
    • Derive the equation of impulse from the law of acceleration

    Challenge Question: Basketball Dunk

    • To dunk a basketball, the player needs to propel themselves to a certain height
    • Impulse and momentum can be used to increase the chance of reaching the rim
    • The player can increase the time over which the impulse acts on them to reduce the force needed to reach the rim and dunk the basketball

    Practice Drill

    • Conduct a short practice to solve problems with questions for practice, recording and review for areas of improvement
