    The law of conservation of momentum states that momentum can neither be created nor destroyed; the total momentum of any closed system must remain the same. Momentum is mass times velocity. Thus‚ a ten pound object moving at 5 meters per second has the same momentum as a 2 pound object moving at 25 meters per second (for example). In order to alter the motion of one object‚ you have to transfer the momentum to another object. Now‚ this principle is not intuitively obvious‚ because we are constantly

    What is momentum? Momentum of a body is defined as the mass multiplied by the velocity of this object. Momentum= m x v Momentum and Newton’s second law of motion: The resultant force is proportional to the change in momentum per a second. We know that force = mass x acceleration. So F (mv-mu)/t F m (v-u)/t = ma so F=kma Momentum is a vector quantity: Momentum has a direction as well as a magnitude Momentum and Newton’s first law of motion: An object remains at

    Lab: Momentum Conservation Abstract This experiment aims to test the law of conservation of momentum by using cart and track system. Procedure 1. Put two carts onto the track. 2. Hit the button on the cart so that they start to move at opposite directions. 3. Find the position where the carts hit the end at the same time. 4. Find the distance that each cart traveled. 5. Repeat step 1-4 with 500g and 1000g weights on one of the carts. Data and Calculation m1m2=x2x1

    MOMENTUM QUESTIONS 1. Which has greater momentum: a train at rest or a moving skateboard? Since the train is not moving‚ it has zero momentum. The skateboard‚ as long as it has some speed‚ will have more momentum‚ since p = m*v. 2. What are the ways to increase impulse? Impulse depends on the magnitude of the applied external force and the time that the force acts on the system. By increasing either of those‚ impulse on a system will be increased‚ and the system’s momentum will change accordingly

    Rebecca Nov. 2013 Kyle‚ Mat‚ Alex Lab M7 Conservation of Momentum Abstract: This experiment involved the use of gliders on an air track which nearly isolates the colliding system from external forces to create low friction totally elastic and inelastic collisions. Seven different collisions were made‚ four elastic and three inelastic. The collisions consisted of only two gliders with varying masses and speeds. Each glider cart was equipped with a flag‚ and its passage through a photogate

    Physics G 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

    Laboratory V: Conservation of Momentum Problem #1: Perfectly Inelastic Collisions John Greavu April 17‚ 2013 Physics 1301W‚ Professor: Evan Frodermann‚ TA: Mark Pepin Abstract A cart was given an initial velocity toward another stationary cart down a track. The initial velocity of the first cart as well as the masses of both carts was varied throughout multiple trials. Velcro placed on the ends of the carts caused the cars to stick together after colliding. Videos of the collision and the seconds

    Maggie Haas Reiter Honors Physic 8 March 2015 Background Information: Anything that has mass and is moving has momentum. Momentum is equal to the objects mass times its velocity. Momentum is conserved‚ which means that “momentum before an event equals momentum immediately after‚ or pi=pf”. Since pi=pf‚ then pai+ pbi = paf+ pbf and (ma* vai)+ (mb* vbi)= (ma* vaf) + (mb * vbf). Having velocity simply means that an object has a speed and direction. Using the formula “(ma * vai) + (mb * vbi)

    the principle 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
