This 5E model lesson helps students understand the concept of conservation of momentum.

This article helps students understand and apply Newton's third law and the conservation of momentum.

From a chapter on Linear Momentum and Collisions in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter discusses collisions in two dimensions, what point masses are, how to calculate the conservation of momentum, what happens when two...

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.

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.

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.

This page features 22 questions covering the major concepts in Chapter 8: Linear Momentum and Collisions from the AP Physics online text.

This page provides 30 questions that cover the major concepts presented in Chapter 10: Rotational Motion and Angular Momentum from the AP Physics online text.

A quick activity to see how to speed up your spin on a chair.

Description of a museum exhibit in which the forces exerted by two gyroscope wheels are analyzed. Excellent demonstration idea.

Students learn the concept of angular momentum and its correlation to mass, velocity and radius. They experiment with rotation and an object's mass distribution. In an associated literacy activity, students use basic methods of...

Description of a museum exhibit in which the spinning bicycle wheel induces the rotation of a student in a rotating chair. Excellent demonstration idea.

Students learn about the Newtonian mechanics principle of conservation of angular momentum and the application in the quantum mechanical world.
