How can we analyse momentum in two dimensions? This was the challenge for our Year 12 students on their visit to UniSA, Mawson Lakes. Using video capture, students measured the motion of air hockey pucks on a 2-D table. With almost frictionless motion, our Year 12 Physics students were challenged to verify the Law of Conservation of Momentum in two dimensions. The visit to the UniSA campus also provided an opportunity to engage with flight training simulators, a campus tour as well as an ‘out-of-this-world’ experience in the Planetarium.
