Teaching About Impulse and Momentum

This AAPT/PTRA resource book features labs and demos physics teachers can use to give students hands-on opportuni¬ties to learn about impulse and momentum. "Make-and-take activities" include AAPT Apparatus Contest winners "An Air Impulse Rocket," "A Fan Driven Sailcart," "An Elastic/Inelastic Collision Cart," and others. Among the topics treated are auto¬mobile safety, wing lift, water nozzle reaction, and spacecraft use of gravity "slingshots."
