Chapter 7: Linear Momentum
Objectives
- How are Momentum and force related?
- If there are no external forces, is the momentum of a system of
(group of) conserved?
- How can I use this to solve one dimensional problems?
- Why are dashboards padded, why should I roll with the punch and
what is Impulse anyway?
- What are Elastic Collisions and how can I use Conservation
of Momentum and Conservation of Energy to solve these problems?
- How do Inelastic Collisions differ from elastic collisions
and how do I solve these problems?
- I play pool how can I explain Two Dimensional Collisions?
- How do high jumpers manipulate the Center of Mass to get
over the high bar
- ...and what is it?
