An object being fired from a cannon is also a collision where momentum must be conserved. As the momentum before the 'collision' is zero, the momentum after the collision is zero. In physics, this ...

A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. COLLISIONS! A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. Mass, momentum, and ...

Segment 4A: Momentum and Impulse We define the terms momentum and impulse. Segment 4A: Momentum and Impulse We define the terms momentum and impulse. We see the impulse-momentum theorem in action by ...

Introduction Did it ever occur to you that tennis, bowling and shopping carts bumping into each other all involve collisions? It is fascinating how just a few rules of physics can predict the outcome ...

When two objects collide the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision (in the absence of external forces). This is the law of conservation of momentum. It ...
