Topics

    • Collisions
    • Conservation of Energy
    • Conservation of Momentum
    • Elasticity

Learning Goals

    • Draw "before-and-after" pictures of collisions.
    • Construct momentum vector representations of "before-and-after" collisions.
    • Apply the law of conservation of momentum to solve collision problems.
    • Explain why energy is not conserved and varies in some collisions.
    • Determine the change in mechanical energy in collisions of varying elasticity.
    • Define elasticity.
