This video-based resource explores linear momentum through an example from a trapeze performance. The momentum of the system is the sum of the momenta of all objects in it. The video is crafted to help students understand how momentum is conserved as one trapeze artist jumps off a swinging platform and launches into the air. It should be emphasized that this example considers just the launch and not the motion before or after. This resource includes a teacher's guide with tips on how to incorporate the video into instruction, discussion questions, and accompanying classroom activities.
This resource was developed in conjunction with the PBS series Circus. See Related Materials for a link to the full set of 8 Circus Physics video-based lessons. Please note that this resource requires Flash.
