Linear Momentum

This website was used on October 3, 2014 to help develop a better understanding of collision theory in order to explain the various factors affecting the rate of reaction.

Newton 's three laws of motion play a huge role in our everyday life; from driving down the road and catching a baseball. Newton’s laws help us fully understand gravity, motion, and force in three easy-to-understand laws.

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)

Describe a fourth scenario in which either the “Law of Conservation of Matter” or the “Law of Conservation of Energy” could be observed. Using as many sentences as needed, describe how an experiment could be set up to further explore your recorded observation. The goal is to show understanding of the concepts in the lesson.

“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 light of our final exam, the chuck a duck project, we are to learn about projectiles, trajectory, and the factors that affect these things.

In the first experiment, “ How does mass affect your game?” it shows that the data on “Ball- Mass 3” that the 10 pound bowling ball had the highest kinetic energy of 27(J), the greatest velocity (m/s) of 3.42, and in average it produced 4 bowling points. According to the data, on “ Ball- Mass 1” the 11 pound ball got an average velocity (m/s) of 3.14, the kinetic energy of 24 (J), and the average bowling points of 3. On the other hand, the evidence shows that the 12 pound bowling ball in “ Ball- Mass 2” has the velocity (m/s) of 3.12, the kinetic energy of 23 (J), and the average bowling points of 4 . Concluding that in my Game 1 the velocity of the masses of the bowling balls decreased when the bowling balls were heavier and that the kinetic energy was lower as the mass increased in the bowling balls.

In conclusion a basketball may look sample but it’s is very complex and can be very hard to manage. This project will prove for once and for all if basketballs bounce higher with or without helium. “Kinetic energy is a property of a moving object or particle and depends not only on its motion but also on its mass.” stated britannica editor Erik Gregerson. (2015,[online])

Whether you're attached to crumpled fuselage or just plain falling, the concept you'll be most interested

For every action there is an opposite yet equal reaction. We dealt with this law when we dropped the drone from the balcony of heritage hall. We had to take in the fact that once we dropped the drone it will send the energy from the action of the drop towards the floor. While the floor will have an opposite reaction of sending the energy up towards the drone with the same equal force the drone released from the drop.

=== The two theories I have discussed both link in with the collision theory. - Ineffective Collision - There is not enough energy to bring the two particles together, so they move away and there is no collision. - Effective Collision - = ==

The purpose of this lab was to test the law of conservation of mass by comparing the total mass of the reactants in a chemical reaction with the total mass of the product.

In the first part of the experiment, the fundamental quantities-length, mass and time were estimated simply by guessing. Even though it can be helpful sometimes to test a hypothesis, huge percentage errors in the measurements showed that human errors can be significant and therefore, we need more sophisticated techniques for more accurate measurement. For instance, using Vernier calipers is more precise than guessing the length or more accurate than the ruler.

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.
