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

Experiment 4 Inelastic Collisions‚ Conservation of Momentum and Non Conservation of Kinetic Energy Preparation Prepare for this week’s experiment by studying Newton’s Laws‚ linear momentum‚ and kinetic energy. Principles In this experiment you will study a collision where a moving object strikes and sticks to an initially motionless object. When the colliding objects stick together the collision is said to be completely inelastic. The net momentum of the system should not change‚ but the

Unit 6 – Momentum Internet Lab – Momentum and Collisions Name: Date: Period: Website: http://phet.colorado.edu/ Play with the Sims Physics Motion Collision Lab Introduction: When objects move‚ they have momentum. Momentum‚ p‚ is the product of an object’s mass (kg) and its velocity (m/s). The unit for momentum‚ p‚ is kg·m/s. During a collision objects transfer momentum to each other‚ resulting in different motions than before the collision. In this activity you will study the motion

1: Momentum was found that after the collision was less than before the collision by 10%. This was not what has been expected‚ so the difference was fairly significant. This happened because of friction‚ when the two pucks collided‚ they have lost a bit of their momentum‚ so the momentum after the collision differed. Kinetic energy differed more than what was expected‚ it was significantly less after the collision‚ the difference before and after the collision was 63.7%‚ so 36.3% of that momentum

Collisions in Two Dimensions Abstract: This lab was 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

conservation of momentum in collisions using two bodies. We also calculated the amount of kinetic energy in elastic and inelastic collisions before and after the collision. Introduction: When bodies collide with each other‚ the total momentum p = mv‚ is always conserved regardless of the type of collision provided no external forces are present. There are two types of collisions. In an elastic collision‚ both the kinetic energy and the momentum are conserved. An inelastic collision is one in which only

The play Master Harold … and the Boys presents a world full of collisions. Fugard presents a bleak world without hope. It will be shown that Fugard does present a bleak word full of collisions. Life in the play often appears to be bleak and hopeless‚ however through the one of the main characters (Sam) hope is shared. Life in the play doesn’t appear to be hopeless all of the

Collision Lab Simulation Purpose: To study elastic and inelastic collisions in one-dimension. Background Information: Momentum: is a measure of mass in motion. It is the product of mass x velocity. Conservation of Momentum: in the absence of external forces‚ such as friction‚ the linear momentum of a system remains constant. Procedure: 1.

Simple 1D Collisions PhET Lab Introduction: When objects move‚ they have momentum. Momentum‚ p‚ is simply the product of an object’s mass (kg) and its velocity (m/s). The unit for momentum‚ p‚ is kgm/s. During a collision‚ an object’s momentum can be transferred to impulse‚ which is the product of force (N) and time (s) over which the force acts. This allows us to write the momentum-impulse theorem: Procedure: Play with the Sims Physics Motion Collision Lab Work with 1D collisions at this

Abstract :The purpose of the experiment is to explore elastic and inelastic collisions in order to study the conservation of momentum and energy. The guided track‚ carts‚ photogates ‚ 250 g weight and picket fences were the primary components used in the procedural part of the experiment. Each experiment involved the use of the photogates and picket fences to measure the initial and final velocities of both carts when they collide. The data was collected and translated to a graphical model for further
