The video is a lecture on the conservation of momentum. It explains how momentum is calculated, how changes in momentum can be written in terms of force and time, and the concept of Newton's third law. The video then shows how these...

Demonstrating and measuring how a helmet changes impulse, impact force and change in time during a collision.

The 25th Presidential election in American history took place on November 4, 1884. Chester Arthur had become President after the assassination of James Garfield. His health had been declining, and he honestly didn't know if he would make...

Given certain parameters, how would you solve this problem?<br/>
Momentum And Impulse, Part 4

Unboxing an MIT Physics Exam from the 8.012 Classical Mechanics course, plus we go over my answers on the hardest exam I took at MIT in physics (argh!) and discuss exam tips and tricks from 6:51.

This video covers conservation of momentum in both normal and tangential directions when two spheres collide. It's important to note that conservation of momentum in the tangential direction holds for each ball since the force acting on...

Calculus based review of the cross product torque equation, how to do a unit vector cross product problem, rotational equilibrium, the rotational form of Newton’s second law, the angular momentum of a particle and of a rigid object with...

This video is a lecture presentation on the principle of conservation of momentum. It explains the concept of conservation of momentum and applies it to various situations, including collisions and cutting a piece of string between two...

Slope-style skiing is a gravity defying freestyle skiing event debuting in Sochi. Nick Goepper, a 2013 world champion, will need to follow the laws of physics and rotational motion in order to nail his tricks in his quest for Olympic...

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...

Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle says that if we know everything about where a particle is located, we know nothing about its momentum. Conversely, if we know everything about its momentum, then we know nothing about where the particle...

Now that we have learned about conservation of momentum, let’s apply what we have learned to an “explosion”. Okay, it’s really just the nerd-a-pult launching a ball while on momentum carts.

Given certain parameters, how would you solve this problem?<br/>
Momentum And Impulse, Part 5

Impulse and Momentum example 1

Wearing a helmet is all about impulse, change in momentum and the force of impact. This video illustrates why you should secure your helmet to your head. Thank you very much to Colton and Jean Johnson who said yes when I asked them if...

This video is a lecture presentation on the topic of conservation of momentum in physics. It explains the principle of conservation of momentum and how it can be used in calculations. The video provides examples of collisions between...

This is a physics lesson that explains the relationship between force, momentum, and acceleration. The video explains how force acting on an object causes a change in momentum, and how acceleration is linked to force. The equation, F =...

Momentum And Impulse, Part 3

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 cm/s in the x direction and after the collision it is 10.7 cm/s at an angle...

Provides language and perspectives that are essential to making sustainability appealing to business-oriented thinkers

In this video, I calculate the energy and momentum for an electron in a quantized system (a porphyrin). ***Using the particle-on-a-ring model.

Postulates of Quantum Mechanics: Observables & Operators

Here, I explain the basic idea underlying Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle; also 1 simple example is worked.<br/>

With the assistance of an animation, this video shows how to calculate impulse using the change in momentum.
