Practice problem questions
Demonstration of momentum, continued:
Air track
Air table
dart into clay
Which is better for knocking someone down: a bullet made of metal or rubber?
coefficient of restitution (and how to test it)
Using conservation of momentum in anti-collisions such as rocket engines and explosions
The impulse-momentum relation revisited: can you use it to explain everyday phenomena such as car air bags?
Questions about the egg drop, including the due date. We will hold the drop on December 16.
