6.5.5.2 Conservation of momentum
| Content | Key opportunities for skills development |
|---|---|
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. | AT 1, 2, 3 Investigate collisions between laboratory trollies using light gates, data loggers or ticker timers to measure and record data. |
