Physics 1-11-18 Collisions Problems with Energy & More!

PHYSICS: Great job on the problems so far!! Here’s the preview from today – dart in the block of wood, bird on the swing, car crash, and a start on the billiard balls. This cute little bird isn’t on a swing, but he is one I came beak to nose with on a mission trip to Costa Rica!

On to a more practical application tomorrow. Speaking of which, any questions? Light bulb? Questions??

Physics 1-11-12 Collision Problems Review

PHYSICS – Don’t you love these high speed pics! Here’s the review of the problems from Wednesday. You are doing a great job on the problems – and you helped me figure something out too! I was really proud of the way you were connecting the conservation of momentum with the conservation of energy.

How are you doing with applying the concepts? Let’s tackle that one last time tomorrow before the test. And help session Friday morning, 7:15ish A.M.

Physics 1-9-12 Collisions

PHYSICS: Collisions – they’re all around us and they all obey the law of conservation of momentum. Here’s the lecture on the types of collisions. How are you doing with the problems? Setting them up is key, then it’s all downhill from there!
