Impulse-Momentum Change Table - Questions

The Impulse-Momentum Change Table Concept Builder is comprised of 12 questions. The questions are divided into three different difficulty levels. The Questions involve tables of numerical data associated with a collision. There are 15 missing table cells in each difficulty level. The Concept Builder selects at random one of the tables for each difficulty level. Students must use the given information to determine the numerical values for the missing table cells. The number of misses are tracked and used to determine a Health Percentage. The Health Percentage is reported once the Table is complete. Students have the option of repeating the Difficulty Level in order to improve their Health Percentage.

The 12 different tables are shown below. Teachers are encouraged to view the tables in order to judge which level(s) of difficulty is(are) most appropriate for their classes.

Impulse-Momentum Change


Activity 1: Apprentice Difficulty Level
Question 1:
An object is at rest. It then experiences a force for a given duration of time, resulting in an impulse that causes a change in momentum (p). The final momentum (pfinalis different than the initial momentum.

Question 5:
An object is in motion with an initial momentum (pinitial). It then experiences a force for a given duration of time, resulting in an impulse. This causes a change in momentum (p), and a final momentum (pfinalthat is different than the initial value.
