Practical Investigation: Conservation of Momentum
Is the momentum of an object conserved when collided with another object (combined mass)?
Hypothesis:
I predict that the momentum before the collision will equal the momentum after the collision of the alternate mass pieces.
Experimental Design: Obtain the following apparatus: Dynamics Trolley (mass 0.8Kg) 3 different mass pieces (2Kg, Mass piece (200g) Ticker timer (50Hz) + suitable transformer Trolley Ramp (Important to have a smooth surface) Pulley (with a clamp attachment) Fishing line (sufficient to hold the mass piece above the ground) 30cm Ruler, pencil and note pad Measure the mass of the trolley and measure the mass of the mass piece used. Attach the 200g mass piece to the fishing line. Place the board on an elevated surface. It is important to raise one end of the boar at a slight degree (which may vary according to the dynamics trolley) Attach the pulley to the trolley ramp (non-elevated end). Plug in the ticker timer and place it at the elevated end of the ramp. Set up the trolley ramp, pulley, ticker timer(including transformer), fishing line and mass piece to resemble the following diagrams
Diagram 1:
Diagram 2:
Thread the ticker timer paper through the ticker timer and attach it to the dynamics trolley at the elevated end. Attach the end of the fishing line to the mass piece and attach the other end to the Dynamics trolley. Start the
4.) Have one person reading the ammeter, one person timing the weights reaching the top of the motor, and the
The track begins with a steep climp, building up potential energy in the coaster car. The rest of the
1. Place the pegboard upright and connect the ramp to the pegboard using the large, metal hook. Make sure the pegboard is connected to the tenth hole from the bottom.
4. Place the mass on the bottom of a ramp and attach the loop of string to the
Using Vernier, we clicked collect while releasing the cart after motion detector starts to click. This was done moving the hand quickly out the path. Using logger pro, indicated which portion was to be used by dragging across the graph to indicate the starting and ending times. Then the linear button was clicked to perform the linear regression of the selected data. The Linear Button was used to determine the slope of the velocity vs. time graph, only using the portion of the data for times when the cart was freely rolling. We found the acceleration of the cart from the fitted line. Record the value in the data table. These steps where repeated 5 mores times. Measured the length of the incline, x which is the distance between the two points of the ramp. Measure the height, h, the height of the book(s). The last two measurements was used determine the angle of the incline. Raise the incline by placing a second book under the end. Adjust the book so that distance, x, is the same as the previous reading. Repeated these steps with 3, 4 and 5 books.
In our to be a Mechanical Engineer class we had to transfer a stuffed pikachu doll into the container (pokeball) down below. The pikachu doll had to be transferred on a trolley of our own design on a 52’ and 1” plastic coated 1/16” steel cable at a slant downward angle. If it is possible to close the lid do so. For the trolley the design specifications should be safe to use, easy to operate, it can’t be no longer than 32” and weigh more than 4 lbs, and lastly the device must be purely mechanical with no electronics, combustion, liquids, chemical reactions, or compressed
1.Measure the original weight of the weigh boat on a balance because you will need to subtract the measurements of the elements and then get the exact mass.
push your left leg to the right behind the girth and use your right rain at the same time. you need to pull to the right with the right rain just enuf for the horses head not to turn.
10) Calculate the mass of oxygen that was added to the magnesium. (see hint in data table)
Tape Procedure 1. Join (2) tracks together, and set at 5° angle of elevation. 2. Attach (3) magnets on one side of cart, parallel to direction of movement, using tape.
Fit one end of the other axle halfway through the other side of the metal frame, then put your thread spool onto the axle and put the axle through the other side of the frame.
A hoist is the machine that does the lifting. It can move in a vertical direction and runs along the bridge girder. A hoist can either be fixed to a single beam (single girder) or it can run on the top of the trolley trucks in between two beams (double girder). The hoist lifts or lowers an openly suspended (unguided) load. The hoist runs along the girder (the principal horizontal steel beam) with the trolley in the x-direction. A trolley is a wheeled mechanism that the hoist suspends upon to provide horizontal motion of the hoist along the girder. The girder is supported by the end trucks (units consisting of the truck frame, wheels, bearings, axels, etc.). It can either run on the top of the frame or under it.
This allows the train to lift between 0.39 and 3.93 inches (1 to 10 centimeters) above the guideway. Once the train is lifted, power is supplied to the coils within the guideway walls. This creates a unique system of magnetic fields that pull and push the train along the guideway. The electric current supplied to the coils in the guideway walls is constantly alternating to change the polarity of the magnetized coils. This change in polarity causes the magnetic field in front of the train to pull the vehicle forward, while the magnetic field behind the train adds more forward thrust.
In view of the information and counts neither the versatile impact nor the inelastic collision had preservation of force or motor vitality. Since the worth 0 was not in the assigned normal reach + or short the standard deviation. The possible purpose behind this is either there is a mistake in the figuring or in the execution of the analysis (all which had no major obvious mistake that would bring about such a error). The qualities that came the closes were the dynamic vitality estimations of the inelastic collision which were in the scopes of (0.12-0.685) this is totally inverse of what might be normal in light of the fact that for inelastic impacts the motor vitality is not monitored so it is abnormal that it has a reach nearer to 0 than
On the graph there are some minor anomalous results such as trial 3 of mass 200 gram, where the acceleration is 0.2m/s^2 closer to the 500 gram average then the average of the two other trials for 200 g force. Outlier could be caused by multiple factors such as incorrect or inconsistent method of dropping the weight or the miss positioning of the trolley creating an awkward starting angle and direction.
