With this resource, explore career facts about the field of auto body work and collision repair. Topics include salary, essential skills, and training requirements.

A physics definition of collisions with examples to illustrate the concept and related links to problems and solutions.

Kids learn about momentum and collisions in the science of physics and the laws of motion including units and measurement. Calculate momentum using mass times velocity.

This site provides a summary of collision theory and its relation to reaction rate. It includes links to higher-level explanations.

Students act as civil engineers developing safe railways as a way to strengthen their understanding of parallel and intersecting lines. Using pieces of yarn to visually represent line segments, students lay down "train tracks" on a...

Under the heading, "Forensic Evidence of a Galactic Collision" this site examines specific details of an image displaying the collision involving the Andromeda Galaxy with a neighboring galaxy (Messier 32) more than 200 million years ago.

Review momentum and collisions with this collection of video lectures from East Los Angeles College. Lectures vary in length and explain the concepts with examples.

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

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

This lesson provides the learner with example problems on determining the momentum or velocity of objects after they have undergone a perfectly inelastic collision.

By the end of this section, you will be able to describe the law of conservation of linear momentum, derive an expression for the conservation of momentum, explain conservation of momentum with examples, and explain the law of...

An image of a quasar. The large redshifts imply that quasars lie near the edge of the observable universe and must emit tremendous amounts of energy. There are also many embedded links to related topics.

Student groups are provided with a generic car base on which to design a device/enclosure to protect an egg as it rolls down a ramp at increasing slopes. During this activity, student teams design, build and test their prototype...

By the end of this section, you will be able to define impulse; describe effects of impulses in everyday life; determine the average effective force using graphical representation; and calculate average force and impulse given mass,...

Learn how forces of push and pull can change speed or direction.

The General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, or Chem 1, is broken into several sections covering various aspects of topics related to chemistry. This section seeks to answer the question, how far does a molecule travel between collisions?

This lesson provides the learner with example problems on determining the direction of momentum for objects after they collide at angles to one another.

This site from Hubblesite of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration provides basic information and photographs of the collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter. A good site to check out on the subject.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online tutorial students are asked to demonstrate and apply the law of conservation of momentum.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the nature of a nonlinear collision using curling stones. Students will be able to look at how the velocities before the collision and the mass of the stones affects the results of the...

Students examine collisions between two skateboards with different masses to learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

Students must predict the speed in a problem involving momentum conservation. The two objects have a head-on collision and stick together during the collision.

Students must determine the unknown mass in a problem involving momentum conservation. One object begins at rest and the two objects stick together during the collision.

Students must predict the speed in a problem involving momentum conservation. One object overtakes the other and the two objects stick together during the collision.
