Lab 7: Conservation of Linear Momentum https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/collision-lab/latest/collision-lab_all.html Objective : To study elastic and inelastic collision and conservation of linear momentum using relationships between total linear momentum before and after collisions Accessing the website: Through a web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer or safari), navigate to http://phet.colorado.edu . Click "Play with Sims," then "Physics," then "Motion," then choose the "Collision" simulation. Click "Run now" to start the simulation. This is a screen shot of the simulation: Click "Run now" to start the simulation or enter the link (We are using Introduction” ) https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/collision-lab/latest/collision-lab_all.html
Part 1 Scenario #1: 100% Elastic collision between balls of equal mass Make sure you select equal mass either by typing value of mass on the box or sliding the mass bar. Once you chose equal mass for 1 and 2, click on more data to expand the data table 1. 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 2 Total
Trial 1 After Sim Ball Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Momentum (kg*m/s) 1 2 Total Does the total momentum conserved in this trial? Explain. Trial 2 Before Sim Ball Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Momentum (kg*m/s) 1 2 Total Trial 2 After Sim Ball Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Momentum (kg*m/s) 1 2 Total
Does the total momentum conserved in this trial? Explain. Part 1 Scenario #2: 100% Elastic collision between balls of unequal mass 1. Complete the following data tables for each ball before and after each trial. Perform 2 trials with 2 different sets of balls of unequal masses. Trial 1 Before Sim Ball Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Momentum (kg*m/s) 1 2 Total Trial 1 After Sim Ball Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Momentum (kg*m/s) 1 2 Total Does the total momentum conserved in this trial? Explain.
