Forces and Motion
Analyzing Momentum
80 minutes
1. The relationship between inertia and mass.
2. The size of the acceleration depends on the size of the force and the mass of the body.
3. The effects produced by inertia.
Trolleys, ticker-timer, ticker tape, power supply and balloon
Constructivism and experimentation.
Realising that science in a means to understand nature.

Teachers Activities

ENGAGEMENT
1. Story telling to get the idea of
momentum. Teacher give an illustration
about momentum by the lorry and car that
move with same velocity.

Student activities

Questions and expected

answer/Notes

Vocabulary

Students make
observation and discuss
in group.

Which vehicle did you

scared?

Momentum
momentum

Students give the

answer

Lorry..
Why?

2. Determine the situation.

Lorry is big

Define
momentum
(p) as the
product of
mass (m) and
velocity (v)
i.e. p = mv

EXPLANATION
3. Momentum as the product of mass and
velocity; momentum = mass x velocity.
Mass is measured in kilograms and
velocity in
meter per second.

Students answer
teachers question.

What is the unit used for

momentum?
Ans: kg ms-1
Students solve the
problem in group

EXPLORATION
4. What is the momentum:
M1=5 kg
v1 =
2 ms-1

M2=5kg
v2 = 5ms1

v2 =
5ms-1

M1=5kg

M2 = 10 kg
V1 =
5ms-1

Ans : momentum
depends on
mass and velocity

Collision crash
into each other
(perlanggaran)
Explosion burst
with great force
(letupan)

State the
principle of
conservation
of
momentum.

EXPLORATION
5. Let the student play with the newtons
cradle.

Students paly with

newton cradle

What is the unic thing

that you observe?
What happen if you
release only 1 ball?
What happen if you
release only 2 ball?

EXPLAINATION
1. Teacher explains that the total
Students take the notes.
momentum is the same before and after
collision. Momentum is conserved in an
elastic collision, inelastic collision and
explosion; define the principle of
conservation of momentum.

momentum.

2. Teacher explain and give note about 3

types of collision :
1.elastic collition
2.inelastic collition
3.explosion
