 A Detailed Lesson Plan in Momentum

I. Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:

1. Define momentum
2. Identify the factors that affect momentum
3. Solve the value of unknown variables (p, m, v)

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Momentum
Concepts:

 Momentum is define as the product of mass and velocity which is

p=mv. It is also define as the difficulty of a body to undergo a
sudden stop.
 The two factors that affect momentum are mass and velocity.
 Based from the formula momentum (p) is directly proportional to
mass (m) and velocity (v)

your parent?

What you probably felt is called as

momentum.
Lesson Proper
In our today’s lesson we will know
and understand what would be the
meaning of momentum in scientific
way.
Unlocking Difficulty
A while ago we said that what you
felt is momentum, now, based from
your experience what does
momentum means?
That’s right.
Basically, momentum is affected my Momentum is the difficulty faced by
two factors which are mass of the an object/ moving body to undergo
body and its velocity. sudden stop.

Let’s find out, again from your

experience which is harder to stop
the bicycle that moves slow or the
one that is fast? The harder to stop is the bicycle that
moves fast.
What could be the factor that affects
the momentum of the bicycle?

That’s right.
Now, let us verify if mass really Velocity
affects momentum. I need a student
that is heavy and a student that is
lighter and 2 volunteers that will stop
them.

Which from your heavy and lighter

classmate is hard to stop? The heavy classmate.
Why do you think is the reason why
he/she is hard to stop? Because he/she possesses a greater
mass.
What could be the mathematical
formula of momentum?
p=mv
Now, for us to clearly understand the
mathematical view of momentum,
let’s have this one -

a= b / c
This equation shows the relationships
of the three variables involve.
What are the 3 variables involve?
Correct, now let us relate a and b; b a, b, and c
and c.
If we are going to look at its location
as part of fraction, we can
immediately understand its relation
from one another.
Let’s start with a and b. If we are Numerator
going to look at it, in what part of a
fraction is a and b located?
That’s right. When one variable increases, the
Now, please keep this in mind that if other one increases also.
2 variables are in the same location
as parts of a fraction, then they are a and b are directly proportional, as
directly proportional. What does it increases b will also increases and
mean? vice versa.
Very good.
Then, with that, how can you relate a
and b?

Numerator
Very good. Denominator
Now let us look at the other variables As c increases, a will decreases, as c
we want to compare which is a and c. decreases, a will increase.
Where is variable a located in the
fraction?
How about c?
Therefore, what conclusion can you
make?
That’s right.
Now, going back to our lesson
mathematically speaking momentum
is define as Mass and velocity are directly
proportional with momentum.
p= mv
Where p = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity

What conclusion can you make base

from the equation?
That’s correct.
Let us have an example,

Situation 1: The truck.

Truck ------------------- v = 5 m/s
Bicycle ------------------- v = 5 m/s
Which do you think will have a
greater momentum or which will in
return harder to stop from its moving
state?
Why?
Because, in reality, a truck is more
massive than a bicycle. Thus, since
we know that mass is directly
proportional to momentum, well
automatically know that the truck is
harder to stop than a bicycle as
velocity will not affect the
momentum since it just equal in both
cases.

Very good!
Now, let’s have another example.
What if -

Situation 2:
A -------------------------- v = 2 m/s
B -------------------------- v = 6 m/s
Both have m = 15kg
Object b.
Because object b moves in faster
rate than a, it will be another for
someone/ something to stop object
b.
Use the formula to calculate the
Which possess greater momentum? momentum.
Why?

What if, both the mass and velocity

are different? No quantity/ variable is Kg . m/s
constant in both cases?
Ok, if that is the case, we can use the
formula to calculate the value of
momentum. By the way, what is the
unit of momentum?

Correct, since mass unit is kg and

velocity is in m/s, we can just
combine the 2 to have kg . m/s

V. Generalization

 What does momentum means?

Momentum is mathematically defined as the product of mass
and velocity of a body which is p = mv. Conceptually speaking
momentum is the difficulty faced by a moving body/ object to
undergo sudden jerk.

 What are the factors that affect momentum?

Mass and velocity

 What is the relationship of momentum to the mass and velocity?

The mass and velocity are directly proportional to the
momentum meaning whenever one increases the other one will also
increase also increase and vice versa.

VI. Evaluation/ Activity

The students will be provided by an activity sheet to ponder their

understanding on the lesson and as well as evaluate.

VII. Assignment
