Final Momentum Using Average Value Lab Report

Students in an AP Physics lab perform an electrostatics experiment involving two charged spheres suspended

The ball now has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy like momentum in that it comes from the mass of the object and its velocity. Kinetic energy was transferred from the plunger to the ball just like momentum was but only if the collision was elastic. During and elastic collision kinetic energy is conserved. The balls kinetic energy is half of its momentum squared. This means the balls momentum is its mass multiplied by velocity, and then it is squared and divided by two. If the velocity or speed of the ball is reduced by one half then the overall kinetic energy is reduced by a factor of four (Kirkpatrick and Wheeler p.106)

Paragraph 1 - How the Law of Conservation of Matter is supported by the experimental demonstrations: In the law of conservation particles and materials are neither created nor destroyed . It was similar towards the experimental demonstrations because nothing changed or destroyed in the processes .Kinetic and potential energy was used in the experiments.

“Standard physics has no explanation for this and an error has not yet been found… There is no explanation for this behavior in standard physics because it violates the conservation of momentum, and Shawyer 's own attempt to explain it using special relativity is not convincing, as this

Momentum is the mass of an object times it’s velocity. The velocity of an object would be it’s rate and change of direction. A collision occurs when two or more objects collide with each other. This causes the kinetic energy, the energy of motion, to be transferred

In a head-on collision, the car and its restrained driver (or passenger) come to a rapid stop while

These principles include conservation of energy, conservation of momentum, and ideas about forces that are vital in the production of any engineering device. When one object hits another in a Rube Goldberg machine, this is an example of the conservation of momentum occurring. Conservation of momentum says momentum is neither created nor destroyed, it only moves from one object to another. This is easiest to see when a ball bearing is used in a Rube Goldberg device, because ball bearings or marbles hit each other cleanly, and transfer the momentum in an elastic, clear way.

cceleration)). This law is in relation to crumple zones as the crumple zone decelerates and the force in which the person in the car would feel. Crumple zones and Newton’s Laws do relate to each other. As the car contents an object, it will cause the car to come to a stop or slow down gradually (1st Law). The car has a certain amount of force, which can be calculated by Newton’s 2nd Law. The result of the car’s mass and its acceleration. Because the force can be lowered by making the impact over a longer time, by making the crumple zone collapse slowly instead of an instant collision that barely decelerates, which means that the people in the car aren’t as badly affected as they would’ve been if there was no crumple zone the force is lessened

This caused V-2 to strike the rear of V-3 and V-3 to strike the rear of V-4.

Witness statements from witnesses also had Vehicle 1 performing a wheelie prior to the crash, while travelling northbound on Hulsey Road. The statements indicated approximately 4 seconds passed from the end of the wheelie until Vehicle 1 impacted the bicycle. Damage to the bicycle indicates Vehicle 1 had both wheels on the ground at impact. Impact on the bicycle occurred at the bottom bracket, down tube and seat tube. The fact that Vehicle 1 was able to continue approximately 240 feet in a northwest direction after impact, also indicates that Vehicle 1 had both wheels on the ground at impact.

VEHICLE ONE, WAS HEADED EAST ON W. CLUB BLVD WHEN IT WAS STRUCK ON THE REAR BUMPER BY THE FRONT BUMPER OF VEHICLE TWO, WHICH WAS HEADED EAST ON W. CLUB BLVD.

The motorcycle operator’s story (vehicle 1 POLLARD) is in conflict with the truck driver’s story (vehicle 2 SHELOR). Contact was not made between vehicles. The motorcycle operator did fail to maintain control. The motorcycle skid marks are to the right hand side of the operator’s southbound lane. The motorcycle skid mark turns to the right as the operator loses control.

First topic (Momentum in pitch) - The momentum of the ball is ultimately one of the deciding factors in distance traveled. When pitched, the ball will have momentum towards the catcher. The bat at this point would have no momentum as it is at rest. When the ball is hit, the direction of its momentum changes towards the pitcher, but in doing so it must maintain the total momentum of the system, so

This is because the Law of Conservation of Mass states, in any given chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants equal the total mass of the products. In Part B the total mass of the reactants did not equal the total mass of the products. There was in fact a difference of 0.62grams between the reactants and the produced mass.

HYPOTHESIS: Without the effects of friction the momentum will be conserved in the isolated system. In all three experiments the momentum before the interaction will equal the momentum after the interaction.
