Discover the physics behind the MythBusters rocket car experiment by breaking down how momentum changes during thrust and motion. This video explains impulse, force, and conservation of momentum in a ...

Imagine a juggler tossing balls into the air. The art of juggling is a dance between motion and pause, where the ball’s speed ...

Students learn to solve problems involving the law of conservation of momentum. Conservation of Momentum: Students learn to solve problems involving the law of conservation of momentum and to describe ...

This module uses Scratch to demonstrate the conversion of momentum with a pictorial interface. The program allows you to choose between elastic and inelastic collisions and calculates the final ...

Introduction You might have seen figure skaters spinning around quickly and then tucking their arms to spin faster—or opening them to spin more slowly. This happens, thanks to a physics concept known ...

There are analogous notions once we include relativity or quantum mechanics, but for our present purposes the version that Galileo and Newton would have recognized is good enough: in any interaction ...

The first semester of an undergraduate physics course invariably spends a lot of time on two big ideas: The momentum principle and the work energy principle. Both deal with forces acting on an object, ...

Recent theoretical advances have underscored the significance of momentum space geometry in the realm of relativistic physics. Traditional notions of flat momentum space are being re-evaluated in ...

It's impossible to talk about football these days without talking about the problem of big hits. The giant dramatic collisions between players moving at high speed are at once one of the great ...
