Summary of Digital Lab: Momentum

Summary of Digital Lab: Momentum

Momentum (1): Investigate 

Summary: 

The goal of this virtual lab is to investigate the factors that can impact momentum on an icy road.

Driving Questions:

  • Determine how the mass of Car #1 affects the momentum of Car #1 before the collision.
  • Determine how the velocity of Car #1 before the collision affects the total velocity after the collision.
  • Determine how the velocity of Car #1 before the collision affects the total momentum after the collision.

Momentum (3): Predict

Summary: 

The goal of this virtual lab is to make predictions using mathematics as students explore the factors that impact momentum on an icy road. Beta: Rex is only available for certain tasks and not all aspects of the activity are assessed.

Driving Questions:

  • Develop a mathematical model and make predictions about how the mass of Car #1 affects the momentum of Car #1 before the collision.
  • Develop a mathematical model and make predictions about how the velocity of Car #1 before collision affects the total velocity after the collision.
  • Develop a mathematical model and make predictions about how the velocity of Car #1 before collision affects the total momentum after the collision.
