Conservation of Momentum

ASSIGNMENT:

1) Watch the videos above on Collisions and conservation of momentum.

2) As you watch, create a bubble map on Collisions. Make sure you write down formulas associated with collisions, and the terms: elastic, inelastic, impulse, and conservation of momentum.

3) Write 3-5 sentences summarizing when you've experienced momentum in the real-world.

ASSIGNMENT:

1) Open the link above for a virtual lab on conservation of momentum.

2)See me for a copy of the data table you will fill in as you complete the virtual lab.

3) Use the instructions on the left side of the screen to complete the virtual lab and fill in your data table.

4) When you've completed the lab and collected your data, open the journal icon on the bottom right of the screen and answer the journal questions below your data table using complete sentences.

ASSIGNMENT:

1) Watch the video above on elastic v. inelastic collisions.

2) Create a double-bubble map comparing and contrasting elastic and inelastic collisions.

3) Then, use the virtual lab on the right to compare 100% elastic to 100% inelastic collisions. You can change that setting on the upper-right portion of the screen.

4) Play with the virtual lab and make observations about how mass, velocity and whether the collision is elastic or inelastic effects the momentum.

5) Write 4-6 sentences summarizing your observations.

ASSIGNMENT:

1) Watch the video above on Impulse and momentum.

2) Create a bubble-map on Impulse and Momentum. Be sure to include relevant equations and define what each variable means.

3) See me for impulse and momentum practice problems.

ASSIGNMENT:

1) Watch the video on conservation of momentum and create a bubble map on conservation of momentum.

2) Be sure to include any relevant formulas.

3) See me for a copy of conservation of momentum practice problems.

ASSIGNMENT:

Research, design, build, and test a device capable of protecting a fragile payload (an egg) when dropped onto a rigid surface from a predetermined height.

Include the following:

• Research findings related to the chosen design
• A hypothesis formulated on the research findings
• Design (labeled drawing based on Impulse-Momentum Theory)
• Results
• Analysis (including calculations of force and conservation of momentum)
• Conclusions (summary paragraph)

*Please note: you are confined to the materials I have available, though you may ask if something you don't see is something I can get for you.

ASSIGNMENT:

1) Complete the problems in the link above for more momentum practice.

2) This will help you review for your unit exam.
