Students describe how cosmic rays achieve high kinetic energy via conservation of momentum.

Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson plan, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

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...
