  • Ch 9 - #57, 64, 73, 79, 89

Objectives

Students Will Be Able To...

Solve problems involving horizontal and vertical circular motion. These problems may involve more than one force acting on the object in the radial plane
Solve problems using the conservation of momentum. These problems will consist of elastic, inelastic, and perfectly inelastic collisions
Recognize and apply the knowledge that when two objects collide, one object may be moving in the opposite direction and a negative velocity must be applied
Solve word problems using the conservation of momentum when objects are initially together then separate
Apply the impulse-momentum theorem to word problems to solve for force, time, or change in momentum
Understand that impulses exerted on an object change the momentum of that object
Demonstrate knowledge that increasing the time of a collision reduces the force, and connect this to safety features such as air bags
