Khan Academy Assignment: Momentum and Impulse

Name: Ariel Velasquez

Objective: Analyze the phenomena of Momentum,


Impulse, Collisions and the Principle of Conservation
of Momentum.

Article on Momentum and Impulse

Momentum: 4 things that are mentioned about momentum in the


article:

1. The most useful thing a momentum is that has relationship with


force.

2. The standard unit of momentum is Kg x m/s

3. Is a measurement of mass in location

4. The momentum is a vector quantity

Impulse: 4 things that are mentioned about impulse:

1.When the impulse is calculated we have to multiply force by the


time

2. When we divide impulse by a force, the force will cancel out

3. Impulse is both internal and external to a system and it helps us


to understand conservation of momentum

4. Is the overall affect a force that is acting over the time

Specific Impulse: Summarize what you understood in the article


about specific impulse:

Article on Conservation of Momentum: (click on choice to the left


side)

a. Why does conservation of momentum apply only to isolated


systems?

b. Why is conservation of momentum a direct consequence of


Newton´s 3d Law of Motion?

c. Describe two things you found interesting about Conservation


of Momentum in the last part of the article.

Article on Elastic and Inelastic Collisions

Elastic Collisions:

a. What happens to momentum and kinetic energy in an elastic


collision?

b. Even though there is no such a thing as a perfectly elastic


collision, what are two examples in which energy loss is
negligible?
c. How does a Newton´s Cradle illustrate Conservation of
Momentum? (Get into the link within the article under Newton
´s Cradle).

Inelastic Collisions:

a. What happens to momentum and kinetic energy during an


inelastic collision?

b. How does the ballistic pendulum illustrate a perfectly inelastic


collision? (4 steps)

c. Attach an illustration of a ballistic pendulum.
