Episode 219: Preparation for Momentum Topic
In this learning episode from the Institute of Physics, students develop their understanding of momentum through practical investigations and mathematical analysis.
There are three episodes in this topic:
Episode 220: Momentum and its conservation
Episode 221: Elastic collisions
Episode 222: Impulse of a force
These learning episodes will enable students to:
1. understand the term momentum, and the principle of conservation of momentum
2. investigate momentum changes experimentally
3. solve numerical problems involving collisions and explosions
4. gain experience with suitable equipment for measuring speed, e.g. motion sensors, light gates.
