Learning standards covered by this activity:
Major Understanding
- 5.1p The impulse* imparted to an object causes a change in its momentum*.
- 5.1r Momentum is conserved in a closed system. (Note: Testing will be limited to momentum in one dimension.)
The above learning standards were taken from the Core Curriculum Physical Setting/Physics, The University of the State of New York - The State Education Department.

Major Understanding
5.1q According to Newton’s Third Law, forces occur in action/reaction pairs. When one object exerts a force on a second, the second exerts a force on the first that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
