Starter Activity Key Words
 Direct Current
 Alternating current
Ask learners which has more momentum, a lorry or a football. The learners may not be able to define momentum,  Peak value
but they may identify that a lorry is likely to have more of it. Ask learners what variables they think affect momentum.  Cathode ray oscilloscope
They may identify mass and velocity (or speed).  Root-mean square (r.m.s)
 Rectification
Define momentum and introduce the equation.
 Half-wave rectification
 Full-wave rectification
 Bridge rectifier
 Smoothing
Homework

Main lesson activities Assessment (Formative / Summative explanation) Resources (include list and links – name
of PP etc.)

Set learners simple questions for practice. Practice examples are given for students to practice
and discuss later.  Powerpoint
Define impulse and relate to momentum and force.
 Keywords Table printout
To stimulate learners’ interest, look at real-life applications of
impulse, force and momentum calculations, such as its
consideration in car safety. Seat belts, air bags and crumple
zones all function to increase the time over which the
momentum changes, thus decreasing the force on the
passengers in the vehicle if a sudden stop occurs.

A large cloth sheet can be held stretched out with a dip at the
bottom and an egg thrown hard at it. The egg will not break on
impact with the sheet, no matter how hard the egg is thrown,
but instead faces the most danger from falling onto the ground
afterwards. The sheet allows the egg to reduce its large
momentum to zero gradually, just like the car features
mentioned. If the egg hits the ground, its momentum reduces
too quickly for it to remain intact.

Introduce the conservation of momentum using examples of


collisions such as a train and a truck, billiard balls, cars, etc.

Demonstrate how to mathematically solve various simple


problems to reiterate the importance of starting from the same
concepts each time and logically reaching a solution.

Set learners questions that use the conservation of


momentum to solve simple problems in one dimension.

Demonstrate the transfer and conservation of momentum by


dropping a football with a tennis ball below it such that the
football’s momentum is transferred to the tennis ball, causing it
to shoot upwards quickly.

Safety
