Clash, Crash, and Bam: Momentum

Author: Theo Batiste

Hello Students, 

This is a web based activity on the law of Conservation of Momentum. In here you will learn about: Momentum Conservation, Elastic and Inelastic Collisions, and Impulse. On the side are quiz questions you can answer while going through the simulations and videos. Enjoy building up the momentum of your thought process. 

Law of conservation of momentum

Complete the following Scenarios:

Mass/Velocity 1: Red Ball
Mass/Velocity 2: Blue Ball

Scenario 1,

Mass 1 : .25 Velocity 1: 4
Mass 2 : 2 Velocity 2: 0

Scenario 2

Mass 1: 5 Velocity 1: 4
Mass 2: 2.5 Velocity 2: 0

Scenario 3.

Mass 1: 2.5 Velocity 1: 4
Mass 2: 2.5 Velocity 2: 0

Scenario 4,

Mass 1: 2.5 Velocity 1: 2
Mass 2: 2.5 Velocity 2: -2

Record your results on a separate paper, Set up the Conservation of momentum problem.
