By leveraging impulse-momentum principles, the system can analyze the forces involved in a collision and respond accordingly, minimizing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Lab Activity: Exploring Momentum and Impulse with Collisions
Objectives:
Define momentum and impulse, emphasizing their relationship in collisions.
Discuss how momentum is conserved in an isolated system.
Analyze how changes in mass and velocity affect momentum and impulse.
Explore real-life applications of momentum and impulse in various contexts, such as car crashes and sports.
