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 net kinetic energy of the system will decrease. The amount of kinetic energy left after the collision can be predicted using conservation of momentum. Linear momentum

Title : Graphing a Linear Relationship Objective : To verify the linear relationship between the circumference and the diameter of circular objects by taking experimental data and utilizing graphical techniques. Introduction : The distance around a circle is called its circumference. A simple experiment can be conducted to aid in understanding the formula for the circumference of the circle. Use a piece of string to measure the distance around a circular

2. LINEAR MOTION In this experiment you will study the motion of an object in one dimension from a number of points of view. You will demonstrate how the variables of motion are related by differentiation and integration and investigate the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. Theory Why Study Motion? Motion is everywhere in the universe. Only at a temperature of absolute zero is the motion in any body truly absent. If motion exists then so also does energy. To the delight of
