Today we started to look at momentum, what it is and how we measure it. We also learned about the impulse momentum theorem. This means that in order to change an object's momentum, one needs to apply a force to an object for an amount of time. The product of the force and the time is called the impulse. We went through examples 16, 17, & 18 and I assigned Assignment 4.6 at the end of the class. Tomorrow we will start looking at the law of conservation of momentum.
Next week we will be having our radiation lab quiz on Monday and our dark matter lab quiz on Thursday. Remember that today you were given your dark matter labs back. The corrections need to come in tomorrow if they are going to come in.
