Trains collide

Cameron is conducting a train going east at 36 meters per second with a mass of 6200kg.  Chris is conducting a train going west 55 meters per second and a mass of 3000 kg. Answer the following questions. 

1.  What is the momentum of the trains before they collide? 

2.  What is the momentum of the trains at the time of collision? 

3. What can be predict will happen to Cameron's train when it collides with Chris' train. 

Bumper Cars.

 A class takes a trip to an amusement park, the science teacher has the students ride on the bumper cars. How would riding the bumper cars help to demonstrate the law of conservation of momentum? 

Law of Conservation of Momentum.

 The law of conservation of momentum, tells us that when objects collide momentum is not lost , it is transferred.  If you designed an investigation with the collision between two objects,  could you predict the outcome of the collision? Explain. 

Conservation of Momentum

 The conservation of momentum helps us predict what will happen when two objects collide.  What happens when two objects that have the same momentum have a head on collision? 

Inertia and momentum

 How does mass affect the momentum and inertia of an object? 

momentum

 What is the formula to find momentum?
