A perfectly inelastic collision is demonstrated and analyzed.

Demonstrating, measuring and showing Impulse is Area Under the Force vs. Time Curve

An elastic collision is demonstrated and analyzed.

NASA scientist Philip Lubin is working on perfecting laser technology that could propel a light spacecraft to Mars in as little as three days. In order for spacecraft to achieve faster speeds, Lubin proposes using an electromagnetic...

Demonstrations of and Introduction to Conservation of Momentum

In this episode Ill describe the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics and talk about what it really means.

The video explains the concept of momentum and how it is calculated. It also explores the conservation of momentum in closed systems and demonstrates its application in various scenarios, such as collisions and explosions involving...

What happens when you drop a perfectly balanced stack of balls? And how is the result like a supernova? The classic momentum transfer demonstration, taken to the next level. A big thank you to my nephews and niece Drew, Max and Whitney...

This is a lecture video on Newton's second law and momentum, where the relationship between the change in momentum of an object and the resultant force acting on an object is explained. The video covers the derivation of the equation F =...

Doodle Science teaches you high school and College physics in a less boring way in almost no time!

This video engages students by asking questions and showing phenomena that relate to simple harmonic motion. The program provides examples and demonstrations using “singing” glasses, violin and piano sounding boards, oscillations in...

Students will explore the principles of motion, the basic concepts of speed and velocity and how speed and acceleration are calculated. Numerous examples of common occurrences illustrate the principles of motion. Other terminology...

Two kids walk through the woods discussing momentum. I mean, who wouldn’t?

Students will explore the principles of motion, the basic concepts of speed and velocity and how speed and acceleration are calculated. Numerous examples of common occurrences illustrate the principles of motion. Other terminology...

How exactly does a seatbelt save lives? In this video we are going to learn about the forces acting on an object due to changes in momentum. All moving objects have momentum; a stationary object has a momentum of zero. We calculate...

Every moving object has momentum. This is the tendency of the object to keep moving in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. You'll have a hard time trying to change the direction of movement of an object with a lot...

Students will explore the principles of motion, the basic concepts of speed and velocity and how speed and acceleration are calculated. Numerous examples of common occurrences illustrate the principles of motion. Other terminology...

Every four years, we watch the stakes for Olympic figure skaters get higher, as they try to increase rotation in the air with their triple axels and quadruple toe loops. How do they do that? It's a scientific principle that we asked...

Everything you could want to know about Neptune's largest moon, Triton. NASA Voyager 2 images of Triton explained.

This live-action video program is about the word Momentum. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word Momentum through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful,...

Calculus based review of conservation of momentum, the momentum version of Newton’s second law, the Impulse-Momentum Theorem, impulse approximation, impact force, elastic, inelastic and perfectly inelastic collisions, position, velocity...
