What is momentum?
Under what conditions does "conservation
of momentum" apply?
What is impulse? How is it related to
Newton's second law?
For a Mack truck and a Honda Civic head-on
collision, compare the force, impulse, change
in momentum, time of collision, and acceleration
for the two vehicles.
How does the concept of "impulse" show that
the impact force will be less for a padded dashboard?
Distinguish between elastic and inelastic collisions.
What is work? What is energy? What is power?
A small ball dropped on top of a large ball will
rebound to an amazing height. Why is that?
What is the relationship of work to energy?
What are kinetic energy and potential energy?
