Impulse: Dribbling a Basketball


Learning Objectives

  • The student will view and better conceptualize all of Newton's Laws and the conservation of mechanical energy.
  • The student will learn that the change in momentum comes from Impulse, or net force acting times time(F x t).
  • The student will better conceptualize how a mass loses potential energy during a bounce.
  • The student will review motion and force graphs vs. time.
