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...

The animation below portrays the elastic collision between a 1000-kg car and a 3000-kg truck. The before- and after-collision velocities and momentum are shown in the data tables.

Students examine how different balls react when colliding with different surfaces, giving plenty of opportunity for them to see the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions, learn how to calculate momentum, and understand the...

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.

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

This is a glossary of the terms and definitions used in Chapter 8: Linear Momentum and Collisions from the AP Physics online text.

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 site dedicated to help students prepare for the AP Physics B test. This specific site reviews the conservation of momentum including impulse, elastic and inelastic collisions, linear momentum, and center of mass. Site contains links to...

This site, in German, offers numerous apps that illustrate common physics principles. Apps are organized into categories: mechanics, oscillations and waves, electrodynamics, optics, thermodynamics, the theory of relativity, physics of...

Physiclips thoroughly presents momentum with animations and film clips.

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

This page features a summary of each section of Chapter 8: Linear Momentum and Collisions from the AP Physics online text.

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

In this activity, students examine how different balls react when colliding with different surfaces. Also, they will have plenty of opportunity to learn how to calculate momentum and understand the principle of conservation of momentum.
