Kinematics, forces, Newton's Laws, and momentum can all be demonstrated through the Rube Goldberg machine, and other scenarios. ... The marble is on an angled plane, generating momentum. ... The marble experiences change in momentum after colliding with the dominoes. ... Following the Law of Momentum Conservation, the marble transfers its momentum to the weight, pushing the weight off the ledge, keeping the same total momentum throughout the collision. ... The cup's sudden change in weight, momentum, and force, causes it to change its net force into a downward magnitude. ...

Momentum is equal to mass times velocity and impulse is equal to the change of momentum. ... This is due to the conservation of momentum. The Law of Conservation of Momentum states that in an isolated system the momentum before a collision is equal to the momentum after the collision, if we disregard friction. So in the example above we can see that the momentum lost by the larger car was gained by the smaller car. ... The conservation of momentum is often very obvious in a collision on a slippery road where friction is very small....

With this information and the change in mass, we can determine the burn time, allowing us to use the momentum equation to calculate the average velocity of the craft. ... Conservation of Momentum Assumptions: • Deceleration is constant. ... Second term: Third term: Therefore the equation goes to: We find: Therefore, using the change in momentum equation, we find that the submarine will travel 10.633m/s in the water, analyzed according to our assumptions. Adding drag as a consideration to the momentum equation gives us With the cylindric...

Management Summary of Problems/Opportunities Overall, the beer industry is an extremely competitive industry operating in a stagnant and declining market. Macrobrewers have dominated the market; however, microbrewers have been able to erode market share by the product distinction of a perception of higher quality beer. Macrobrewers have countered this threat by posing as faux microbrewers often utilizing a repackaging and remarketing of existing product. This measure has been to no avail. Such tactics have merely given macro-micro brewers the image of trying to imitate quality. ...
