IMPULSIVE FORCE

CREATED BY
SURAYA BT SHABINGIN

Introduction

What causes the car to be

bumped when there are collision
occurred between the car and an
object?

Impulsive force is the enormous

amount of force acting for a very
small time on a body

F
=

mv-mu
t

For example ,A karate expert can

break thick wooden slab with his
bare hand that moves at a very
fast speed. The short impact time
results in a large impulsive force on
the wooden slab.

The karate expert

hits the stone
swiftly .
Therefore, force is
bigger.

Problem
Statement

 What are the factors that

influence the amount of
Impulsive Force ?

Speed

Time

Mass

When an object crushes on a hard

surface will cause a large impulsive
force
Egg

Stone

Egg

Sponge

 Why the athletic needed to

bend their leg while making a
long jump or a high jump?

What will happen if

without applying the
knowledge of Impulsive
Force?

Arghh!!

Objective
To help people realize the
importance of Impulsive Force in
daily life
General Objective:
- To determine whether the
different surface will affect the
impulsive force
- The effect of increasing or
decreasing of time of impact on

- To determine whether the velocity

will affect the impulsive force
- To determine whether the
different mass of object will affect
the impulsive force

Do you think that

impulsive force important
in saving life?

Conclusion of the
Result of
Questionnaire

Do anyone know what is

impulsive force?
About 60% of teachers dont

know
About 70% of students dont know
So, overall 65% dont know it

actually.

Apparatus & Materials are prepared for conducting

experiment.

Members are setting up the sponge for preparation of

experiment.

Members are preparing the scale diagram for calculating

the displacement of the sponge after collide by egg

The scale diagram & sponge are done prepared.

bers are measuring the distance 2 meters for carrying experi

The distance 2 meters is done measured

Members are discussing how to conduct the experiment.

The reading of displacement of the sponge is taken & recorde
