RECAP
Direction: Two cars of different masses are moving at the
same velocities. Complete each of the following statements
1,000 kg by identifying the correct car being described.
1. Greater force is needed to stop car A because it has
higher inertia.
10 m/s 2. Bodies with higher momentum like car A is more difficult to stop.
3.Car A has higher momentum than car B because it has
a higher mass.
300 kg
4. Car A and B will only have the same momentum when
Car B increases its velocity.
10 m/s 5. Car B has a momentum of 3,000 kgm/s.
ACTIVITIES
Activity No.1: KEEPING ME SAFE
1. I am a gymnast. I need to bend my knees when landing
from a certain height to increase the time of contact with
the floor thus reducing the force of impact.
(reducing, increase, bend)
2. Cars are designed with airbags because it can lessen or
prevent injuries in the event of crash or collision. The
inflation of the airbag is initiated by crash sensors. This
decreases the impact force by increasing the time of
contact.
(airbags, decreases, increasing)
3. Car manufacturers design crumple zones into cars so
that car will likely be crumpled rather than rebounded in a
collision. When the car crumples, the change in the car’s
momentum happens over a long time. This decreases the
force of impact on
the passengers and thereby increasing chances of
survival. (long, decreases, crumple zones)
4. Baseball players need to use padded gloves. Its padding
is slightly compressible thus reducing the impact force on
the player’s hand by increasing the time of contact.
(reducing, increasing, padded gloves)
5.When catching a baseball, the catcher pulls his hand
backwards with the moving ball. This decreases the impact
of catching the fast-moving ball to your hand because by
doing so, time of contact was been increased.
(backwards, increased, decreases)
Guide Questions:
1. What do you need to do with the contact time during a collision so that the force of
impact will be reduced?

2. How could seatbelt apply the same principle of saving the passenger’s life during
crash?

Activity No.2: CUSHION IT!
Direction: Draw the material that reduces the force of impact in each of
the following situations.
Parachute
1. There is a mechanical failure in the plane. I need to
jump off the plane before it crashes. What do I need to land
safely??
2. I got a head-on collision with an electrical
post. I was not thrown forward towards the windshield.
What keeps me from my seat?
Banana stalk
Seatbelt
3. My car is out of control. There are
just two options to collide with, mango tree or a banana
stalk. What will I choose?
4. My car gets a head-on collision, and our cars are both
crumpled instead of rebounding. Both of us are not seriously
harmed because crumpling increases the time of changing
our momentum thus reducing the impact force. What did
car manufacturers design into our cars that reduces injury?
5. My car accidentally hit the motorcycle that was
trying to overtake me. The driver was knocked over
along with his motorcycle. What did he use to avoid
serious head injury?
Helmet
CLOSURE:
Fragile goods such as glass, ceramics, and electronic products that are
transported must be cushioned inside the shipping packaging. Why is this so?
Fragile goods like glass, ceramics, and electronic products that
are transported should and must be protected from damage because of
the impact or vibration in transit by cushioning materials inside the
shipping packaging.
WRAP-UP
Directions: Write true if the statement is correct and change the underline
word/s if the statement is false.
1. If heavy and light objects have the same momentum, the
velocity of the lighter object is higher.
2. The car with lower momentum requires a great stopping force.
3. During the collision, the seatbelt increases the time of contact of the passenger
to the steering wheel, thus reducing impact force.
4. If the change in momentum occurs over a long time, the force of impact is
large.
5. In catching a fast-moving ball with the bare hand, move your hand backward
with the ball so that collision time will be decreased and force of impact will be
decreased.
