FIGURES: DISCUSSION: Starting From Rest: Looking at your force-time graph, explain physically why we calibrated to -100g for this experiment, instead of the +100g like usual. What law determines the force that the spring imparts on the force sensor? As the force increases up to peak force describe what happens to the compression of the spring. What would happen to your graphs if you changed the spring constant of the spring on the spring/screw attachment? Why do you only need to look at the velocity at the end of the impulse? Compare Δp with the area of the force-time graph impulse by computing the percent difference. Simple Collision: Is F net more or less than what you did with your hand above? Why? Compare Δp with the area of the force-time graph impulse by calculating the percent difference. Was your collision an elastic or inelastic collision? Where would some of the momentum gone if it were inelastic? BRIDGING CONCEPTS (answer at least 2 questions): In the second experiment (Simple Collision), we pushed the iOLab and then recorded the impulse when it hit our hard wall (or textbook). How would we have to change the experiment such that we could record and analyze the impulse of our push and the impulse of the collision of the textbook in the same run? What would the velocity-time and force-time graphs look like for this new trial? In this set of experiments, we used a new attachment on the force sensor which was a spring attached to a screw. However, we never used the spring constant or the fact that it was a spring in the numerical analysis. Could we have done this experiment with the eyebolt attachment? If possible, give an explanation as to why the spring attachment may have been chosen. If not possible, explain why.
