Physics Momentum Cartoons

Physics Momentum Cartoons!

• You will be drawing cartoon cells to help explain
  the concepts of momentum and impulses
• The scenario is, you are on a space shuttle
  flight to the moon. On the journey, you will draw
  a cartoon that illustrates these ideas concerning
  momentum. While in outer space, it is easy to see
  examples of momentum. In cartoon form, you will
  need to
• 1. Draw an example of momentum in general
• 2. Draw an example of an impulse being applied
• 3. Draw examples of elastic and inelastic
  collisions
• 4. Draw an example of the explosion equation in
  operation

• To get full credit for this mini activity you
  will need to..
• Draw in cells on a piece of computer paper

• Use colored pencils and draw neatly

• This is impulse because the ship is )

Physics explanation

• Story must have a plot line, no matter how silly.
• Outside of the cells, you must explain how that
  scene demonstrates the momentum concept that is
  to be explained (For example... This is impulse
  because the ship is )
• Turn in at end of the period!
