Lesson Plan: It's Harder To Stop A Bicycle That Moves in Higher Speed

LESSON PLAN
Grade 9- Science
February 12, 2020
I. Learning Objectives :
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
 define and understand momentum
 identify the factors that affect momentum
 solve problems involving momentum
 reflect on the importance and application of momentum in real life
 develop the creative skill on problem solving
II. Subject Matter:

A. Topic: Momentum
B. Reference: Science Learner’s Module 9, pp. 258-260
Physics Textbook: Science in Today’s World Series, pp.71-72
Phoenix Next Century Physics, pp. 100-101

C. Materials: Manila paper, Cartolina
III. Procedure:
A. Routinary Activities
1. Greetings
2. Classroom Management
4. Checking of Attendance
B. Review
What makes things move? Why do some objects move continuously while some moving
objects stop suddenly? In previous years you have talk about these topic (Newtons law of motion etc).
Now we will deal with momentum, understand its concept and understand its applications in real life
situations.
C. Motivation
Ask student the following questions:
Questions Answer
-Based on your experience, which is harder to stop: a
bicycle that moves slow or the one that moves fast? It’s harder to stop a bicycle that moves in higher
(consider mass of bicycle is constant) speed.
. which is harder to stop: a heavy truck or a small car

It is harder to stop a heavy truck
traveling at same velocitiies ? (consider velocity of
bicycle is constant)
* follow-up questions: What could be the factors that affect these? Why does object with greater speed and
mass difficult to stop?
D.Lesson proper
Using visual aids, the teacher will present the topic.
Momentum- is the property that makes moving objects difficult to stop.

- Momentum depends on two factors – object’s mass and velocity.
- Operationally, momentum is defined as the product of mass and the velocity of an
object
Equation: p = mv
Where, p = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
- Mass and velocity are directly proportional with momentum.

- The greater the mass or the velocity, the greater the momentum and vice versa.
- Note: for stanionary objects where the velocity is zero, the momentum is zero.
- Common unit of momentum: kg m/s
Application
Exercise 1: From the concepts that you have learned, answer the check-up questions on your book refer to page
259.
Exercise 2:
Given the following data, solve for unknown variable.
Object Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Momentum (kg m/s)
Bird 0.03 18 m/s
Basketball player 100 5 m/s
Bullet 400 1.6 kg m/s
Baseball 0.5 10 kg m/s
What if the value of momentum is given and where looking for the mass or velocity?
Equation: m= p / v (if you’re looking for the mass)
v=p/m (if you’re looking for the velocity)
Sample Problem:
Applying the equations learned, answer the following problems:
1. A ball having a mass of 2 kg is rolling at a speed of 6 m/s. What is its momentum?
*Call a student to show his/her answer in front. Let the student explain how he/she got the answer. Verify if the
answer is correct.
D. Generalization
Summary
Momentum is the property that makes moving objects difficult to stop. Mathematically it is defined as the
product of mass and velocity of an object (p=mv). The factors that affect momentum are mass and velocity.
The mass and velocity are directly proportional to the momentum, meaning whenever one increases the other
one will also increase and vice versa.
Valuing
- relate concepts of momentum in real life scenario
- develop the creative skill on problem solving
IV. Evaluation:
Seatwork (Activity 3)
Directions: Solve the following.
1. A 2 000 kg jeepney and a 4 000 kg truck are both moving at a speed of 20 m/s.
a.Calculate the momentum of each vehicle
b.Which vehicle has greater momentum?
2. A skateboarder is rolling at a speed of 3.0 m/s with a momentum of 6.0 kg m/s. What is its mass?
V. Assignment:
Prepare for an exam tomorrow regarding momentum. Bring calculator.
