Intro Impulse & Momentum (Physics Classroom Problems - Part 1)

OPENING QUESTION:

  • There is an equation for impulse that doesn't involve momentum, what is it?

LEARNING TARGET: I will work with my team to solve four (4) impulse practice problems during today's class.

WORDS O' THE DAY:

  • momentum (p=mv)
  • impulse (∆p or F∆T)

CALENDAR:

FORMULAE OBJECTUS:

Note: Remember, "p" is our symbol for momentum and "J" is the symbol for impulse

p=mv

J = ∆p

J = pf - pi

J = mvf - mvi

J = F∆t

OBSERVING: We are ON for Tonight

WORK O' THE DAY:

Practice Problems 1- 10: Pick at least 4 of those and then work on setting up the infamous BLUE FONT problem #10

Problems #1 - #4 are pretty basic, they are mostly just plug and chug and the solutions should be pretty obvious. I don't really recommend doing many (if any) of those.

Problem #4 - My solution is HERE

Problem #7 - My solution is HERE

Problem #8 - My solution is HERE

Problem #10 - My solution is hiding for now
