This study guide on momentum defines some key terms and discusses the Law of Conservation of Momentum, elastic and inelastic collisions, and how impulse relates to momentum. Includes equations and two example problems with solutions. It...

This lesson explains why conservation of momentum can be applied to perfectly inelastic collisions.

This physics tutorial aims to model and predict not the motion of just one object, but rather what happens when two or more objects collide. The concept of momentum will be the main focus of this module.

From a chapter on Rotational Motion and Angular Momentum in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter discusses the similarities between angular and linear momentum, how torque and angular momentum are related, and the application...

This site is from the Physics Department at Georgia State University. The conservation of energy as a fundamental conservation law is presented and compared to other conservation laws (momentum and angular momentum). Links to further...

A few examples of what the conservation of angular momentum is and understand how it works. Challenge comprehension with follow up questions for discussion and problems for solutions.

In this module, students learn how work, energy, and power are related to one another in various ways. They also learn about collisions and the conservation of momentum.

This lesson explains why conservation of momentum can be applied to inelastic collisions.

In this interactive activity adapted from Wake Forest University, students will observe the effect of mass on velocity and momentum in elastic and inelastic collisions. Includes background reading, a student handout, and discussion...

Review how angular momentum is conserved if there is no external torque applied to a system. Specific scenarios are highlighted: system changing it rotational inertia, orbiting bodies, and rotational collisions.

Students learn the concept of angular momentum of objects in two dimensions and how rotational motion is determined.

In this physics tutorial, the law of momentum conservation will be combined with the use of a momentum table and some algebra skills to solve problems involving collisions occurring in isolated systems.

In this interactive physics tutorial, students will take a more qualitative approach to some collision problems. The questions provide a real test of conceptual understanding of momentum conservation in collisions.

Two complete tutorials on momentum and its conservation. Tutorials include informational text, interactive activities, animations, and quick, interactive comprehension checks throughout the lessons.

This is a list of 64 problems/exercises to solve covering the content in Chapter 8: Linear Momentum and Collisions from the AP Physics online text.

Students improve their understanding of momentum conservation and learn that a recoiling object in an elastic collision will transfer more impulse than if it collided inelastically.

Students explore conservation of linear momentum and collisions. Some topics examined in the activities are collisions, center of mass motion, variable mass, and momentum. The resource consists of video clips, lecture notes, practice...

Predict changes in gravitational potential energy and angular momentum for a system of two masses.

By the end of this section, you will be able to describe an elastic collision of two objects in one dimension, define internal kinetic energy, derive an expression for conservation of internal kinetic energy in a one-dimensional...
