Physics Suite Peer Instruction Problems: Momentum and Energy

home » Website Detail Page

Detail Page

written by Edward F. Redish

This website contains a series of peer instruction problems on momentum and energy, designed to be solved in a classroom setting. The problems are presented with a qualitative question (usually multiple choice) that is carefully constructed to engage student difficulties with fundamental concepts. Students consider the problem individually and contribute their answers using personal response systems (clickers). Students then confer with their cooperative groups and vote again on the correct response. Topics covered include elastic collisions, inelastic collisions, impulse, momentum, work-energy theorem, and conservation of energy.

This problem set is part of the Physics Suite collection, containing sample problems, peer instruction problems, and alternative homework sets.
