Journal 1/22

Assignment: Make a new post on your blog titled "Journal 1/22" and address the following questions:

Part One:

1. I learned that in order to reach the end of a problem and come up with a correct result, you must complete and go through ever step available.

2. I learned that in order to truly understand the momentum conservation, you should draw a bar graph because it shows in a tangible way the conservation of momentum. The bar graph shows how the momentum changes from initial to final.

3. I learned that in order to solve the problem, you need to be able to imagine whats going on, being able to imagine what is going on in the problem so that you can correctly sketch it and draw out the rest of the problem.

Part Two:

1. I know that momentum is found by mass times volume, but what exactly is momentum on a real world scale?

2. Fnet external is the force that is acting on the system? It's the external force on the system right?

Part Three:

When you're learning about momentum it's really important to keep in mind that you always conserve momentum so when you are drawing out your bar graph, both sides have to match completely otherwise it's incorrect.
