Özet

The purpose of this study is to consider Superman's acts against impulse-momentum and conservation of momentum principles. Superheroes as fantasy fiction characters attract the attention of not only children and teenagers but also adults. Superheroes can be useful in explaining a phenomenon, as well as overcoming conceptual difficulties that may occur in students. Superman is a superhero who often challenges the impulse-momentum principle and conservation of momentum. Therefore, he may be the best superhero to use when talking about momentum. This context gives educators an opportunity to motivate students.
