Objectives: - Students will be able to define the impulse momentum theorem - Students will explain the practical applications of the theorem - Students will be able to solve problems related to the theorem

Materials: - Whiteboard - Markers - Handouts with a practice problem

Introduction (10 minutes):

  • To start, the teacher will review Newton’s Second Law, which states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied to it, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

  • The teacher will then introduce the students to the Impulse Momentum Theorem, which states that the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse supplied to it.

Presentation (20 minutes):

  • Next, the teacher will review the mathematical definition of Momentum, which is the product of mass and velocity (p = mv).

  • The teacher will then explain the mathematical definition of Impulse, which is the product of force and time (J = Ft).

  • The teacher will demonstrate the Impulse Momentum Theorem conceptually and mathematically by drawing an example on the whiteboard, and presenting the formula for the theorem.

  • The teacher will then provide additional examples to further explain the theorem, and will emphasize its practical applications.

Practice (15 minutes):

  • The students will then be asked to work on the practice problem that was provided to them in the handouts.

  • The students will be given 10 minutes to complete the practice problem, and will be encouraged to ask questions and collaborate with one another.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

  • The teacher will review the main points of the lesson, and answer any remaining questions that the students may have.

  • The students will then be asked to provide a brief description of what they learned in the lesson.
