Bell Activity: What is the law of conservation of momentum?

    • Conservation of Momentum

      • Newton's third law implies that in a collision, the total momentum will remain constant for a closed system

      • p initial = p final

    • Page 185: 5-8 due Wednesday

    • Bottle rocket lab

      • Launching 2L pop bottles, using projectile motion and conservation of momentum to make calculations

    • Due Thursday

      • Lab can be found in "handouts" section of this site.
