July 3, 2019
I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
a. identify the different factors of which momentum depends on;
b. explain the effects of an object with momentum; and

III. Learning Activities
A. Review FACT or BLUFF
1. When your toe exerts a force on a rock, the rock exerts an equal force back on
your toe. FACT
2. The Newton’s third law of motion is also called as the Law of Acceleration.
BLUFF
3. The first law of motion or law of inertia is states that all objects will continue to
stay in their state of rest or in a linear motion unless acted upon by an external
force. FACT
4. The second law of motion states that each and every action has an equal and
opposing reaction. BLUFF
 5. An object with less mass has greater inertia, and it takes a greater force to move
this object. BLUFF

B. Motivation
 The teacher will flash pictures of two cars with different speed.
 Student will observe and analyze the given picture and will have to answer the
guide questions.

C. Learning Development
 Student will answer the following questions based on their observation about
the two cars
1. Which of the two cars would be more difficult to stop?
2. Which of the two cars has more momentum?

D. Synthesis

 Momentum is defined as the product of mass and the velocity of an object.

 The word momentum means “movement” or “moving power”.
 The more momentum a moving object has, the harder it is to stop.
 The mass of an object affects the amount of momentum the object has.
 We can determine the amount of momentum by multiplying the mass and velocity
of an object.
p=mv

E. Infused Values
 When cargo truck and car suddenly lose their breaks, which has a more
damaging effect? Why?
 Give a real life situation that can be seen about objects with momentum.
Sample exercises:
1. A 2500 kg bus from Laguna moves at 25 m/s to Makati. What is the
momentum of the bus?
2. A bowling ball whose mass is 4.0 kg is rolling at a rate of 2.5 m/s,
forward. What is its momentum?
3. What is the momentum of a bird with a mass of 0.018 kg flying at 15 m/s?

F. Evaluation (Problem Solving)

 1. What is the momentum of a 3 kg coconut that is rolling with a velocity of 2
m/s downhill?
2. What is the object’s speed in m/s of a 30 kg object has a momentum of 48 kg.
m/s towards the east?
3. An object having a mass of 10 kg has its velocity change from 8 m/s east to 3
m/s east. Find the object’s change in momentum.
4. An object has a momentum of 35 kg.m/s towards the east with the speed of
2.18 m/s. what is the object’s mass in kg?

G. Assignment
1. Read and write the 3 types of circular motion
