PHYSICS 705-Collisions by Jazlyn Schumaker https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn Made with rocks en-us 2018-02-15 18:19:40 UTC 2024-07-20 13:44:51 UTC hello@padlet.com Introduction jschu538 https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/232081553 Momentum, p, is mass in motion determined by the mass and velocity of an object, p = mv. External force produces a change in the momentum of an object. In this experiment we examined the momentum of two carts before and after collisions, both elastic and inelastic in 6 different scenarios to see what effect, if any, these forces have on the momentum of the system. ]]> 2018-02-15 18:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/232081553 Objectives jschu538 https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/232081728
  • Create momentum vs. time graphs for two carts experiencing different types of collisions. 
  • Compare the total system momentum before and after a collision.

Due to this you won't be losing or gaining any momentum so both the before and after of the system will be the same. ]]> 2018-02-22 18:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/234389503 Conclusion jschu538 https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/234389966 The sum of momentum after a collision, whether elastic or inelastic, is equal to the sum of momentum before the collision due to the transfer of energy. This is shown in the graphs inelastic, they seem to form an average momentum that they settle into once connected. ]]> 2018-02-22 18:14:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/234389966 Collision Data Tables jschu538 https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/234396743 2018-02-22 18:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/234396743 Video jschu538 https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/234414822 Posted privately in Google Classroom because the file was too large]]> 2018-02-22 18:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/234414822 Total Elastic Before/After Momentum Graph jschu538 https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/234417282 2018-02-22 18:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/234417282 Total Inelastic Before/After Momentum Graph atryg341 https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/234417349 2018-02-22 18:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jschu538/noeh8j5tjncn/wish/234417349
