Quantity Symbol Equation SI Unit
Momentum p p = m*v kg*m/s
Impulse J N*s

Impulse-momentum N/A N/A
theorem Ft=p∆ ∆
Conservation of N/A p1 + p2 = p1’ + p2 kg*m/s

Momentum
Coefficient of e e=
((𝑉𝑎𝑉𝑎−−𝑉𝑏𝑉𝑏)) dimensionless
restitution
Guide Questions:
1. What type of collision happened if the calculated coefficient of restitution between two
colliding objects is zero? If one? If between one and zero?
- e is generally a positive, real number between 0 and 1: e = 0: This is a collision that is
completely inelastic. This implies that the kinetic energy along the common normal is
zero.
2. Can you give a scenario where the coefficient of restitution is equal to zero? - Two
colliding objects stick together a er a collision.
Activity No. 4: Problem Solving
What to do: Solve the following problems. Show your solutions and box your final answers.
Write them on a separate sheet of paper.
1. What is the momentum of an 8.0-kg bowling ball rolling at 2.0m/s?

- 1) List the given values
(knowns) m = 8.0 kg
= 2.0 m/s
2) Solve for momentum
=m
= (8.0 kg) (2.0 m/s)
= 16 kg • m/s
∴ The momentum is 16 kg m/s

•
2. A 21kg child is riding a 5.9 kg bike with a velocity of 4.5m/s. What is the magnitude of the
momentum of the child-bike system?
- 1) List the given values
(knowns) m = 5.9 kg & 21
kg
= 4.5 m/s
2) Solve for momentum
=m
= (21 kg + 5.9 kg) (4.5 m/s)
= (26.9 kg) (4.5 m/s)
= 121.05 kg • m/s
= 1.2 x 102 kg • m/s 2

∴ The magnitude of the momentum at the child-bike system is 1.2 x 10 kg m/s
•
3. What impulse occurs when an average force of 10N is exerted on a cart for 2.5s?
- 1) List the knowns
= 10 N
t = 2.5 s
2) Solve for impulse∆
= ∆t
= (10 N) (2.5 s)
= 25 N • s
∴ Impulse occurred in the cart is 25 N s

•
4. How long must a tow truck pull with a force of 550.0N on a stalled 1,200 kg car to give it a
forward velocity of 2.0m/s?
- 1) List the knowns
= 550.0 N t
= 2.0 m/s
m = 1200 kg∆
2) Use this formula/equation
3) ∆ ∆t=
(1200 𝑘𝑔) (2.0 𝑚/𝑠)
(550.0 𝑁)
t=4.36sor4.4s
∴ 4.4 s is the time the tow truck needs in pulling a stalled car
5. A 2.0-kg ball moving with a speed of 5.0 m/s collides head-on with a 3.0 kg ball at rest. Perfectly
inelastic collision occurs in the process. What is the speed of the masses a er the collision? What
is the coefficient of restitution of the system?
- mA A + mBB = mAA + mB B
mA A = (mA + mB)AB
AB =
AB
ABAB === 2.0 m/s(10(22.05.𝑘𝑔0.𝑘𝑔0𝑘𝑔 •𝑘𝑔)𝑚) ( (5/3𝑠.0.0𝑚𝑘𝑔/𝑠))
∴ 2.0 m/s and e = 0, since the collision is perfectly inelastic.
REFLECTION
● World Health Organization’s study shows that 1.3 million people are cut short as a result of a road
traffic crash. Injuries caused by these car accidents can cause considerable economic losses to
individuals and their families. There might be several causes of car accidents to happen but the
injury it caused to a passenger can be minimized if a vehicle has a functional airbags system and
used seat belts. Using the concept of impulse and momentum, why do airbags and seatbelts in
cars reduce the chances of injury in accidents?
- Automobiles have air bags because they can reduce the force that a person feels after an
accident. The time it takes for the driver and passenger to come to a complete stop is
lengthened by air bags. With a constant change in momentum, the force on the body
decreases as it increases. In the event of an accident, seat belts safeguard you from rolling
around inside the vehicle. In the case of a collision, they are designed to extend
somewhat. The time it takes for the body's momentum to return to zero is lengthened,
lessening the forces acting on it.
