Activity 1
Directions. Fill all the blanks in the statement to complete the thought of the
relationship of impulse and momentum. Underline your answer in the
parenthesis. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
In a collision, objects experience an (energy, Impulse); the impulse
causes and is equal to the change in (momentum, velocity). The momentum
change of an object is the (mass, speed) multiply by the velocity change. In a
collision, an object experiences a (force, speed) for a specific amount of (time,
velocity) that results in a change in momentum.
Activity 2
Directions. Write Impulse if the statement is correct and Momentum if incorrect.
Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
__________1. In jumping, impact force is greater on your knee if you as you
reach the ground then stands.
__________2. A fast-moving motor bike has greater momentum than a non-
moving truck.
__________3. Airbags and seatbelts in cars are very important because these
are designed applying the principles of impulse and momentum.
__________4. It is hard to stop when the body has greater momentum.
__________5. From collision of 2 identical cars having the same mass the faster
car has greater momentum.
Activity 3
Directions. Put (/) if the situation shows the application of Impulse and
Momentum and (x) if not.
___1. A stationary water in the dam
___2. A baseball bat hits the ball
___3. The car traveling down the road to stop on the rock
___4. Basketball team in action
___5. A stationary stone on the floor
___6. A ball thrown on the wall
___7. A man sleeping on the bed
___8. The rolling ball hits the ground
___9. A running baby
___10. A car colliding on another car.
Activity 4
Directions. Calculate the momentum or mass of the following situations. Use
separate sheet of paper for your answer.
1. A 0.35 kg truck is accelerating with 0.20 m/s, what is the momentum of the
truck?
2. A boy is pulling a toy with 0.98 kg and moving with 0.10 m/s. How much is
the momentum of the toy?
3. The momentum of the cabinet is 200 kg m/s with the velocity 10 m/s, what
is its mass?
4. Apply the Conservation of Momentum to the problem below.
Problem: A 9,300 kg railroad car traveling at a velocity of 15m/s strikes a
second boxcar at rest. If the two cars stick together and move off with a
velocity of 6m/s, what is the mass of the second car?
