conducted to investigate the theories of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy in different types of 2D collisions. In order to do this‚ both an elastic and inelastic collision was conducted on an air table with pucks. A video was taken and analyzed to determine velocity‚ allowing for future finding of momentum and kinetic energy values. By finding these‚ it was possible to determine which kind of collision took place. With low values of change in momentum and kinetic energy that occurred in elastic

various concepts related to physics including friction‚ collisions‚ conservation of energy‚ and conservation of momentum. Momentum is force of moving objects. It can be measured by multiplying an object’s mass and velocity. Basically‚ the concept of conservation of momentum is that the total momentum of objects before a collision is equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collisionIt is essential to remember that momentum is a vector quantity‚ meaning its definition requires the direction

reason‚ peers interested in physics and ballistics may have an interest in this experiment. Peers interested especially in the study of energy and momentum would have the most interest in this data. While analyzing the data found from a ballistic pendulum experiment‚ the Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy and the Law of Conservation of Momentum both need to be utilized. The involvement of both of these physical laws struck the group ’s immediate interest because of the pertinence to what

1) Introduction This Lab is about conservation of momentum. It is to investigate the difference of momentum before and after collisions. Using the photo gates record the velocity of each cart‚ comparing momentum and kinetic energy to find the law. The experimental apparatus are two red carts in approximately same weight and a gold cart in lower weight than the red ones‚ a stable air track (blow a constant stream of air out through numerous tiny holes) with low friction and two photo gates. 2) Project

science are specified. One example of bad science in the movie was with the stopping of the Earth’s core. This is an example of bad science because it goes against conservation of angular momentum. Conservation of angular momentum requires something else to spin and take up the angular momentum lost by the core. But in the movie‚ angular momentum is not conserved and just vanishes. Another example of bad science was when

investigate validity of the conservation of linear momentum from three main different types of momentum‚ namely: head on collision of equal masses‚ head on collision on unequal masses and exploding carts. Theory In the 17th century‚ Isaac Newton was the one who realized that the momentum is conserved in collision. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity (direction). In the other way‚ momentum is also a vector so the direction is important to the determination of the total momentum of a system of objects

placing gunpowder and projectile in the muzzle‚ or open end. Nowadays firearms are a little more sophisticated. However‚ the physics behind all guns remain the same. Weapons such as cannons‚ shotguns and rifles‚ work on the basic idea of conservation of momentum and the change in energy from potential to kinetic. When the trigger is pulled the hammer hits the firing pin. The firing pin then hits the primer which causes the powder to burn hence producing lots of gases. This causes the volume behind
