RAMALAN 5: Momentum

(a) What is the definition of momentum?

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

(b) Rooney kicked the ball and flew with the velocity of 7ms-1 .The mass of the ball is
200 gram. Calculate the momentum of the moving ball.
Momentum = mass X Velocity
= 0.2kg X 7ms-1 = 1.4kgms-1

(c) Using the concept of physics, if the goalkeeper would like to catch the football
kicked by Wayne Rooney, what be this best attire? Explain your answer.
Goalkeeper need to wear thick gloves. This is because thicker gloves will
lengthened the time and lower impulse force

(b) Please read how the logic gates play the part in Alarm System
(c) Please read up the Cathode Ray Oscilloscope

Electron Gun consists of filament, control grid, focusing anode and accelerating
anode
Control Grid: Control number of electrons in the beam and the brightness of the
beam on the screen. Accelerating anode will act to pull the electrons and force the
electrons to accelerate to the front of the screen. Focusing anode will focus the
beam of electrons. Deflection System will help to navigate the electrons in its path
to the screen. The electron will be deflected between X and Y axis
