8. Momentum

Available for over a year

In this episode, James Stewart and Ellie Hurer explore momentum, and how to calculate it. They also discuss conservation of momentum and share examples of how to understand it. Suitable for: AQA, Edexcel, OCR. For more information on momentum, check out the BBC Bitesize website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zytb8mn/revision/1 Key learning objectives discussed in this episode: - Momentum is defined by the equation: - momentum = mass × velocity - In a closed system, the total momentum before an event is equal to the total momentum after the event. - This is called conservation of momentum. - Students should be able to use the concept of momentum as a model to describe and explain examples of momentum in an event, such as a collision.
