AP Physics 1A | 7.3 2D Collision Lab Lab Objectives: Determine if momentum is conserved for collisions that happen in more than one dimension. Procedure: 1. Go to https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/collision-lab/latest/collision-lab_en.html . 2. At the top of the screen, click the “Advanced” tab. 3. Locate the three buttons next to the data table and click the button “More data”. 4. On the right side of the screen uncheck the “reflecting border” box. 5. Record the mass, initial velocities, and initial momentum for each ball in the data table. 6. Click play and allow the two balls to collide. 7. After the collision, pause the simulation. Record the final velocities and momentum for each ball in the data table. 8. Click the Restart button. 9. Change the mass of ball 2 so that it is the same as ball 1. Repeat steps 5-8. 10. Change the mass of ball 2 to 1.500 kg and move the elasticity slider to 0%. Repeat steps 5-8. 11. Change the mass of ball 2 to 0.500 kg and keep the elasticity slider at 0%. Repeat steps 5-8. Note: If you cannot run flash on your device, you can watch the following video. It will give you the data that you need to complete this lab. https://youtu.be/KAIqbvoP9ik Data: (1 point per trial = 4 points) Before Collision Trial 1 Mass Ball 1 _______ kg Mass Ball 2 _________ kg Component Velocities v x (m/s) v y (m/s) v x (m/s) v y (m/s) Component Momenta p x (kgm/s) p y (kgm/s) p x (kgm/s) p y (kgm/s) Total Momentum in each direction Total p x momentum Calculation: Total p y momentum Calculation: Overall momentum Magnitude of momentum Calculation: Direction (degrees) Calculation: © Copyright 2017 Michigan Virtual Revised 5/18/2020 Page 1
