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
