Activities
01) Momentum
In this activity, students will measure and compare changes in momentum for an object during elastic and inelastic collisions.
02) Peak Force
In this lab, students will observe the magnitude and consistency of the force required to cause structural failure.
03) Area Under a Curve
In this activity, students will use rectangular approximations to find the area under a curve.
04) Impulse Momentum
In this activity, students will compare the change in momentum before and after a collision to the force experienced during the collision (impulse).
