Students learn to solve problems involving the law of conservation of momentum. Conservation of Momentum: Students learn to solve problems involving the law of conservation of momentum and to describe ...

In this video, we explain the conservation of angular momentum in AP Physics 1, showing why angular momentum remains constant and how it applies to rotating systems. You’ll see clear examples that ...

A sphere moving on a smooth horizontal surface (the xy-plane) impacts a set of 13 cubes at rest on the same surface. This impacts leads to a number of subsequent impacts among these cubes. The ...

Introduction You might have seen figure skaters spinning around quickly and then tucking their arms to spin faster—or opening them to spin more slowly. This happens, thanks to a physics concept known ...

There are analogous notions once we include relativity or quantum mechanics, but for our present purposes the version that Galileo and Newton would have recognized is good enough: in any interaction ...

Recent theoretical advances have underscored the significance of momentum space geometry in the realm of relativistic physics. Traditional notions of flat momentum space are being re-evaluated in ...

This module uses Scratch to demonstrate the conversion of momentum with a pictorial interface. The program allows you to choose between elastic and inelastic collisions and calculates the final ...
