Students explain how a Frisbee flies, why it's shaped he way it is and how fast and how far the Frisbee can go.
Students study the law of conservation of momentum and how mass and radius relates to it. For this momentum lesson students know where axes are on their bodies and what type of rotation they have.
High schoolers balance a wheel using one of the wooden handles. In this physics lesson plan, students predict what direction the wheel rotates after the teacher lets it go. They explain how this demonstrates angular momentum.
For this momentum worksheet, students use linear momentum to determine velocity and angular momentum to determine angular velocity. This worksheet has 1 problem to solve.
Students list three examples of momentum found in their local environment; describe the importance of mass and velocity on momentum; and determine what is necessary to produce the greatest amount of momentum within a particular system.
In this kinetic energy learning exercise, students determine the kinetic energy of different systems based on objects moving with a tangential velocity and constant velocity. This learning exercise has 5 problems to solve.
For this momentum worksheet, learners review impulses, angular momentum, and the law of conservation of momentum. This worksheet has 30 fill in the blank statements.
Students discover the angular solution of hydrogen activity. Depending on the undergraduate course, this activity can illustrate eigenvalue problems, to introduce Shrodinger's equation and particle wave duality, or to introduce numerical solutions for Schrodinger's equation.
Students work together to discover the concept of angular momentum. They participate in experiments in which they test rotation and relate it to an object's mass. They participate in a literacy activity in which they compare mythology to discover why spinning and weaving are common motifs.
Students study the role that technology has played in designing spacecrafts. In this science and technology lesson plan students view a video and complete a lab activity.
