4. What do you think is the relationship of mass and velocity to the object’s
momentum?
_____________________________________________________________________________
What Is It
Momentum
The activity shows how mass and velocity allow an object to continue its
motion. The property of a moving object concerning its mass and velocity is
referred to as momentum which is represented by symbol P.
This quantity, possessed by all moving objects, depends on how heavy or
how fast an object moves. Mathematically, we can
say that the momentum is equal to the mass
multiplied by the velocity of the object or we can
simply write P = mv. For an instance, two balls
rolling with different velocities will result in different
momentum. The same happens with two balls with
different masses rolling on an incline (same velocity)
also results in different momentum. (Refer to figure
3.)
Figure 3. Balls with (A) the same
Let us apply the formula and take the
mass, different velocity, and (B)
following problems as an example. with same velocity, different
mass.
Sample Problem:
1. A 45.0kg ice skater glides across the ice at a rate of 4.00m/s. How much
momentum does he/she possess?
Given: Unknown: Solution:
m = 45.0kg P=? P = (45.0kg)(4.00m/s)
v = 4.00m/s Formula: Answer:
P = mv P = 180kg●m/s
2. A rider with his motorcycle weighs a total of 170kg. If his total momentum is
2 546 kg●m/s, how fast does he drive?
Given: Unknown: Solution:
m = 170kg v=? 2 456 kg●m/s
v=
P = 2 456 kg●m/s Formula: 170 kg
P Answer: v = 15.0 m/s
P = mv → v= m

Impulse
You have learned in your grade 8 science that any object will continue
moving unless there is an external force that will act on it. This is known as
Newton’s Second Law of Motion. Therefore, any moving object which either gains
or loses speed is affected by an external force. The change in the velocity of a
moving object will also result to a change in its momentum.
Another important factor that affects the change in the momentum of a
moving body is time. Applying the same force on a moving object in a significant
amount of time will also cause a change in the momentum of the object.
The force (f) multiplied by the time (t) it was applied, which results to the
change in the object’s momentum is defined as an impulse (J). Mathematically, we
write this as J=f×t. We use the unit N●s to express impulse.
Let us apply the formula and take the following problems as an example.
Sample Problem:
1. A bicycle that initially travels at 2.5 m/s, applies 20 N of force on the brakes
for 3 seconds. How much impulse was produced by the bicycle?
Given: Unknown: Solution:
f = 20 N I=? I=20N×2s
t=3s Formula: Answer:
I=f×t I = 40 N●s
2. If a track and field runner gained 25 N●s of impulse to outrun his opponents
in last 10s of the game, how much force did he used?
Given: Unknown: Solution:
I = 25 N●s f= ? 25N●s

Let us analyze the activity. Since the marbles are of the same size, structure,
and composition, we can say that they have the same mass. We can also assume
that the marbles rolling on the inclined plane and the marble that flicked has the
same speed. If we divide the system into its initial and final state as shown in
figure 7. The initial momentum of the marble before the collision is equal to the
final momentum of the marble that flicked. Hence, momentum is conserved.
Therefore, we can say that
Figure 7. The initial and final state of the Magic Marble set-
the momentum of the marble
up
before the collision is equal to
the momentum of the marble after the collision. Mathematically, we can express
this as:
P(before) = P(after)
Note: Marble 1 refers to the marble rolling on the incline plane, while marble 2 refers
to the marble that flicked.
Solution:
P(before) = P(after)
mvmarble1(before) + mv marble2 (before) = mv marble1(after) + mv marble2(after)
(0.004kg x 0.03m/s)+(0.004kg x 0)= (0.004kg x 0)+(0.004kg)(vmable2(after))
0.0012 kg●m/s = 0.004kg(vmable2(after))
0.0012 kg●m/s
= vmarble2(after)
0.004kg
The velocity of the marble after collision is still the same. To check this,
substitute the computed value for the velocity after collision:
P(before) = P(after)
m(before) x v(before) = m(after) x v(after)
0.004kg x 0.03m/s = 0.004kg x 0.03m/s
0.00012 kg●m/s = 0.00012 kg●m/s

The equal values before and after collision indicate that the momentum is
conserved.

vcue(before) = 2.5 m/s with equal masses.

Unknown: v8ball (after) = ? balls moving towards the
same direction.
Formula:
P(before) = P(after)
mvcue(before) + mv8ball(before) = mvcue(after) + mv8ball(after)
Solution:
mvcue(before) + mv8ball(before) = mvcue(after) + mv8ball(after)
(0.17kg)(2.5m/s)+(0.17kg)(0) = (0.17kg)(0)+(0.17kg)(v8ball (after))
0.425 kg●m/s = (0.17kg) (v8ball (after))

Answer: v8ball (after)= 2.5m/s
Formula:
P(before) = P(after)
mvcarA(before) + mvcarB(before) = (mcarA+mcarB)(vcar A and B(after))
Solution:
mvcarA(before) + mvcarB(before) = (mcarA+mcarB)(vcar A and B(after))
(1700kg)(14m/s)+(1500kg)(11m/s) = (1700kg+1500kg)(vcar A and B(after))
40 300kg●m/s = (3 200kg) (vcar A and B(after))
