Momentum


 GCSE Physics - Learning all about momentum mass x velocity and how the momentum before a collision is the same as the momentum after the collision.

Terminal Velocity in Glycerol

GCSE Physics Tuition: We are looking at Terminal velocity using glycerol as a medium. Using the @pascoscientific rotary motion sensor and capstone, we could easily see how the weight accelerated and then slowed to a terminal velocity. The cord has no measurable effect.
