Conceptual Physics Alive: Momentum
Conceptual Physics Alive: Momentum includes a digital video and questions set with answers. Observe Paul Hewitt teach in a classroom with real students, using engaging demonstrations and artwork. In this video, Newton's 2nd law is rearranged to the form: Impulse = Change in Momentum. A variety of everyday examples, such as bouncing are used to support this impulse-momentum concept. Conservation of momentum is demonstrated with colliding carts on an air track. Momentum Includes: Hewitt begins with a comparison of mass and moving mass- momentum. Impulse and momentum are defined. Delta notation introduced. Examples of impulse-momentum: Golf ball, Slingshot, Cannonballs shot from short and long cannons, Car with failed brakes, Jumping into a net, Riding with the punch when boxing, and Catching a baseball Distinction between impact and impulse. Bouncing and its effect on impulse. Karate and Pelton wheel Demonstration of elastic collisions on an air track. Demonstration of inelastic collisions on an air track. Definition of a system. Pushing on automobile dashboard. Momentum conservation. Railroad cars example. Next-Time Question: Demo of the swinging balls apparatus: Why will two balls not eject one ball at twice the speed?
