Teaching about Impulse and Momentum

The dynamics of objects are explored using momentum and impulse. Common phenomena and events are used to introduce students to the concepts involved. Laboratory activites, demonstrations, assignments, and other resources that can be used in class are then presented.

Teaching About Impulse and Momentum

This PTRA manual presents the physics of impulse and momentum and learning materials to help students with this topic. A section on theory and applications is followed by laboratory, classroom, and computer activities. The manual also includes a section on modern physics applications of the topic. Assessment questions are also provided for use by instructors.
