Rearranging Newton’s Second Law to derive the force of impact equation.

A 28.8 g yellow air hockey disc elastically strikes a 26.9 g stationary red air hockey disc. If the velocity of the yellow disc before the collision is 33.6 i cm/s and after the collision it is [4.79 i - 9.57 j] cm/s, what is the...

A racquetball is dropped on to three different substances from the same height above each: water, soil, and wood. Rank the _______ during the collision with each substance in order from least to most. (a) Impulse. (b) Average Force of...

Review of all of the Kinematics topics covered in the AP Physics 1 curriculum. Plus some bonus introductory stuff.

The wave-particle duality seems to used all the time to explain quantum mechanics to the public, but it is one of my pet peeves. It represents an outmoded way of thinking (old quantum theory), which is replaced by our current...

The proof and maths of Noethers theorem: There are two ways to approach Noethers theorem that I know of. The most common is through Lagrangian mechanics- where the proof is surprisingly simple but unfortunately quite opaque . The other...

Derivation for the impulse and momentum formula for a system of particles. Notice that if the sum of external forces = 0 then momentum in the system is conserved!

Conservation of Momentum example 1

As much as we commonly misuse scientific words in common language, we do have a reasonable grasp of the word momentum. But that's no reason to gloss over this concept, we have to know all the definitions and equations there are! Check...

By the time students learn about all the equations for mechanical energy, momentum, impulse and impact force, they often start to confuse the equations with one another. This is a straightforward, simple look at all of those equations...
