...resources - momentum II...

 

 

 

 
 

 

I want to learn about momentum!

 

 

 

The links below will take you to some great resources for learning or teaching about momentum...

Description

 

  "Collisions" Java applet   Applet to model elastic and inelastic collisions, from Walter Fendt's suite of Java applets.  Load the applet from Walter Fendt's site here.

 

 
  Elastic collision momentum calculator.   Good (lazy!) way to put together momentum problems for worksheets or examples.  Click here to load the applet.  
  Inelastic collision problems   A few simple problems involving collisions and explosions.  This version has the answers included.

 

 
  Momentum problems   These problems are used in Task 4 of the lesson plan.  They are mixed momentum problems, which have been edited for use with student studying momentum at Key Stage 4.  This version has selected answers included.

 

 
  Momentum practice problems   I found these mixed momentum problems online.  They came from www.physicsclassroom.com, which has worked solutions for each problem, as well as numerous animations and other useful resources.

 

 
  Momentum and Impulse problems   These problems deal with impulse, and go outside the confines of the AQA specification - but I have included them here ready for the next change of specification / exam board...!

 

 
  IOP Momentum and Impulse problems   These problems, designed for the IB course, cover a range of ideas about momentum and impulse.  They are from the momentum section of the IOP website, which of course has lots of other useful resources too!

 

 
  Simple machines in Automobiles   This page has some great information about the use of simple machines in cars (or automobiles for US readers!).  It was contributed by Lauren, who is currently a student in the 5th grade at a US school.  The full URL is:

Thanks for sharing a great resource Lauren!

 

 

 

 

A word of thanks...

 

 
 

 

I like the resources Lauren contributed :)

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks Lauren (currently a student in 5th grade in a US school) for sharing a great resource!

 

 

I'd love to hear from anyone else that finds or makes resources they would like to share!
