Speaker

Elizabeth Kennedy (Highland School)

Description

The presentation will show simple ways to demonstrate momentum and show how it is transferred using common physics apparatus such as Newton’s cradle and “Happy and Sad” balls. We will proceed to demonstrate the use of a dynamics track and two dynamics carts to illustrate the principles of conservation linear momentum, in a dynamic and interactive manner.
