Collision Lab Simulation Purpose: To study elastic and inelastic collisions in one-dimension. Background Information: Momentum: is a measure of mass in motion. It is the product of mass x velocity. Conservation of Momentum: in the absence of external forces‚ such as friction‚ the linear momentum of a system remains constant. Procedure: 1. Open web browser and go to the site: http://phet.colorado.edu 2. Click “play with sims”‚ then “physics”‚ and then “motion” 3. Find the “Collision

The law of conservation of momentum states that momentum can neither be created nor destroyed; the total momentum of any closed system must remain the same. Momentum is mass times velocity. Thus‚ a ten pound object moving at 5 meters per second has the same momentum as a 2 pound object moving at 25 meters per second (for example). In order to alter the motion of one object‚ you have to transfer the momentum to another object. Now‚ this principle is not intuitively obvious‚ because we are constantly

W= FxD law of conservation of energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy is only transferred between objects. potential energy: Energy that an object holds based on its position. Energy that is waiting to be released. chemical energy: Energy stored inside atoms and molecules. (e.g. burning a match) thermal energy: Energy created by the movement of molecules in an

Why do energy policies differ from country to country? Energy policies‚ the manner in which a governments decides to address issues of energy development including energy production‚ distribution and consumption‚ are different in every country around the globe. This is mainly due to economic development‚ population size‚ geographical location and many other factors for example in the UK‚ as gas imports will rise in the future‚ the government has imposed a policy of trying to encourage the development

consumption of energy sources that are used to get us through our everyday lives! Our most common methods of generating energy are polluting our beloved planet Earth and tearing up the ozone layer. Also‚ many of these methods we are currently abusing to generate energy are non-renewable. Thats means we could run out any day now. This is a formula for complete disaster‚ but don’t be scared. Like most things we can fix this situation we have put ourselves into with alternative energy sources. Sorry

First Ionisation energy is the measure of energy needed to remove a mole of electrons from a mole of gaseous atoms to form a mole of positively charged gaseous ions‚ also known as a cation. The general trend is that as the atomic number increases between elements Lithium to Neon the level of the first ionisation energy increases‚ as there is a stronger nuclear attraction. [Braid‚ K. et al. (2015)]. The stronger nuclear attraction along the period is caused by the number of protons increasing. When

Chapter 14 - Kinetics of a Particle : Work and Energy In this chapter‚ students will get to learn about the concepts of involving work and energy including the work of a force that acts on particles. Therefore‚ students can develop the principle of work and energy and the concepts of a conservative force as this equation can be useful for solving problems involving force‚ velocity and displacement and also can solve the kinetic problems. So in general‚ this chapter will enable students to analyse

Solar Energy Alternative energy resources are being closely evaluated because of the depletion of nonrenewable resources‚ such as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources have damaged earth because of the amount of pollution that is released some‚ in which is known as Carbon Dioxide. Massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide are that is released into our environment every year further damaging our planet. Scientist has been effectively working on ways of conserving energy that is
