3/2 PotU: Momentum and mousetrap car building

Contents of this post

Warm up

Momentum: p = m v

Have your Mousetrap car out to Page 4 so I can stamp that you have completed that page.

Calculate the mass of a mousetrap car that has a speed of 2 m/s and a momentum of 1 kg*m/s. Calculate the speed of a ball that has a mass of 0.5 kg and a momentum of 2 kg*m/s. Write out the equations then solve them.

Answers

  • Part 1: Mass = 0.5 kg
  • Part 2: Speed = 4 m/s.

Classwork

Continue working on your car. You should have it complete by today. Work on Page 5, through Number 14.

Tomorrow I will stamp
