Momentum

Honors Physics conducted a lab investigation on momentum and kinetic energy conservation for different types of collisions. Students modeled elastic, perfectly inelastic and inelastic collisions and tracked momentum and energy changes for each type. The lab write up is due Wednesday since tomorrow is test day!

Physics B and F reviewed material for the momentum exam, which is scheduled for Thursday for B block and Friday for F block. Time was also taken to review the lab unit on simple machines. Not surprisingly, the machines behaved as they should - multiplying force or distance (but not both) and demonstrating IMA values greater than AMA values. tomorrow, math practice!

Physical Science reviewed conservation of momentum and worked some practice problems for the topic. Tomorrow, more practice and then practice on force and momentum problems for MCAS.

Homework

Honors Physics: Prepare for exam. Lab write up due on Wednesday
