Explosion

I can design an experimental test of an application of the principle of the conservation of linear momentum for a two-object interaction that is explosion, predict an outcome of the experiment using the principle, analyze data generated by that experiment, and evaluate the match between the prediction and the outcome.

I can classify a given situation as explosion and use conservation of linear momentum to solve for missing variables, and calculate their values.

Inelastic Collision

I can design an experimental test of an application of the principle of the conservation of linear momentum for a two-object interaction that is inelastic, predict an outcome of the experiment using the principle, analyze data generated by that experiment, and evaluate the match between the prediction and the outcome.

I can classify a given situation as inelastic and use conservation of linear momentum to solve for missing variables, and calculate their values.

Elastic Collision

I can design a plan for collecting data to investigate the relationship between changes in momentum and the average force exerted on an object over time and analyze data to relate impulse, average impact force, and time of impact.

I can design an experimental test of an application of the principle of the conservation of linear momentum for a two-object interaction that is elastic, predict an outcome of the experiment using the principle, analyze data generated by that experiment, and evaluate the match between the prediction and the outcome.

I can classify a given situation as elastic and use conservation of linear momentum to solve for missing variables, and calculate their values.

I can predict, in terms of linear momentum and kinetic energy, how the outcome of a collision between two objects changes depending on whether the collision is elastic or inelastic.
