Unit 5: Momentum Energy and the Conservation Laws

Unit 5 Goals
1.Define and determine work, and energy.
2.List a variety of types of energy and classify them as potential or kinetic.
3.Solve problems using equations for gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.
4.State and apply the law of conservation of energy.
5.Account for energy in its various forms through a series of transformations, including energy “lost” to heat.
6.Define impulse and momentum and describe how they’re related.
7.State the law of conservation of momentum and use it to solve problems in one and two dimensions.
8.Classify collisions as completely elastic, completely inelastic or somewhere in between.

Due dates (assuming we have no more snow days)
momentum hmwk due Sunday 1/22
energy hmwk due Thursday 1/26

1.5 days for review

Final over the entire semester.
