Document Content and Description Below

Collision Lab- Conservation of Momentum Directions: Go to the website http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/collision-lab Make sure the 1-d box is checked. Click on “More Data” to expand the da ... ta table. Part 1 Scenario #1: 100% Elastic collision between balls of equal mass 1. Make a hypothesis about initial and final momentums before playing with the sim. Depends on the initial velocity but besides that they would have the same velocity outwards if their initial velocities are the same. 2. Complete the following data tables for each ball before and after each trial. Perform 2 trials with 2 different sets of balls of equal masses. Trial 1 Before Sim Ball Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Momentum (kg*m/s) 1 1.5 1 1.5 2 1.5 -1 -1.5 Total 3 0 0 Trial 1 After Sim Ball Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Momentum (kg*m/s) 1 1.5 -1 -1.5 2 1.5 1 1.5 Total 3 0 0 Trial 2 Before Sim Ball Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Momentum (kg*m/s) 1 2 4 8 2 2 -3 -6 Total 4 1 2 Trial 2 After Sim Ball Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Momentum (kg*m/s) 1 2 -3 -6 2 2 4 8 Total 4 1 2 [Show More]
