Name: Bryan Meza Lab #9: Conservation during Collisions Objectives: Collisions can be classified as elastic, inelastic, or completely inelastic. A collision is most frequently described as super- elastic when kinetic energy is gained. In this experiment, we will observe most of these collisions and see if momentum and energy are preserved in each case. The energy changes that arise in different kinds of collisions with the carts will be measured, and the outcomes will be classified as totally inelastic, somewhat inelastic, or elastic.

#2: The collision is elastic, meaning that momentum and energy are both conserved, because the two balls did not adhere to one another. This is assuming that each ball has the same mass. Momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved in elastic collisions. Procedure: For this part of the lab, we setup the track that is level and put up motion detectors at each end of the track, so it can read the movement of the carts. This enabled them to read anything towards it as negative and moving away from it as positive. Once everything was setup, we practiced by creating gentle collisions. We then used magnetic bumper carts.
This enabled us to get necessary data to determine our average velocity before and after collision for each cart to put in our data table. Steps #1-14: Collision 1 Collision 2 Collision 3
