Hi folks,
I left my power cord to my camera at a different classroom so I couldn't record today's class. However, this link will take you to a video I shot last year that goes over those pesky momentum problems.

12/12 Physics class and homework due 1/2
Hi folks,
We will be off the next two weeks for the holidays! We will be restarting class on January 2 2017!
Today we finished our lab from last week by having the students use the data they collected last week in order to predict the distance a block will move based on it's momentum.
We also worked on solving some new conservation of momentum problems.
Homework for next week is to:
Read pages 86 - 100 in the text book.
Do problems 1 - 18 on page 100.

12/5 Physics update and homework due 12/12
Hi folks,
Today we spent a little bit more time with free body diagrams as a review and then we moved onto the new concept of momentum. Momentum is basically how hard it is to get an object to come to a stop or to change directions. Mathematically it's mass times velocity. We took advantage of this beautiful day by doing our lab outside. The lab was seeing the effect of different masses and different velocities on momentum.
Homework due next week is :
Do the Momentum vs. distance the block moved graph.
Also,
Read pgs. 74 - 82
Do Review Questions #'s 1 - 18
