Momentum

Here's a presentation that not only covers momentum, impulse, conservation of momentum in both one and two dimensions, angular momentum, torque, and the moment of inertia, but offers many applied guided practice problems as well.

A suggested sequence of events lays out five hands-on activities and four creative assessments on the conservation of momentum. Using spring scales and mail scales, junior physicists examine Newton's Third Law. After you have taught the...

Planning a physics unit on energy can take a lot of work, luckily this instructional presentation is here to help. Covering everything from work and energy to elastic collisions and the conservation of momentum, this comprehensive...

Students must determine the unknown mass in a problem involving momentum conservation. Both objects begin at rest and are propelled apart by a tap activated spring.

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.

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 will be told the total energy added to the two carts by the spring and then they must use this along with momentum conservation to find the speed of each car as they move away from each other.

Teach the basics of momentum through the video lesson. The instructor explains the concept of momentum, introduces the formula for momentum, and then demonstrates conservation of momentum. Problems include the momentum of multiple objects. 

Scholars quantitatively apply their knowledge relating impulse, force, and time in the collision of objects. Three progressive levels challenge pupils with different ways of analyzing these problems. They identify multiple collision...
