Impulse with the 2-1 timer

Principle

In this experiment, pupils should be introduced to momentum as a conserved physical quantity, and they should gain a first impression of the usefulness of this physical quantity for making calculations. It should also be suggested that momentum, like velocity, has a direction (it is a vector quantity), in contrast to scalar quantities like mass.

Benefits

• Especially accurate and reproducible results due to the use of light barriers and the Timer 2-1
• Timer 2-1 can be used for versatile applications, for example for teacher experiments due to ist great display
• Very modern student experiments which fully cover the curriculum subject "Motion"
