Nick Smith PHY 202 Lab #8: Collisions Data and Results Sheet: You can record the momentum from the simulation instead of calculating it except for your sample calculation. Be sure to include the missing units in the tables. You may use your own tabulated results sheet if you prefer. Data: Trial 1: (e = 100%) Cart Mass (kg) Velocity before collision (m/s) Velocity after collision 1 0.50 1.00 -1.25 m/s 2 1.50 -0.50 0.25 m/s Trial 2: (e = 100%) Cart Mass (kg) Velocity before collision (m/s) Velocity after collision 1 2.00 2.00 -0.57 m/s 2 1.50 -1.00 2.43 m/s Trial 3: (e = 100%) Cart Mass (kg) Velocity before collision (m/s) Velocity after collision 1 2.50 2.00 .50 m/s 2 1.50 0 2.5 m/s Trial 4: (e = 75%) Cart Mass (kg) Velocity before collision (m/s) Velocity after collision 1 2.00 2.00 -0.25 m/s 2 1.50 -1.00 2.00 m/s Trial 5: (e = 50%) Cart Mass (kg) Velocity before collision (m/s) Velocity after collision 1 2.00 2.00 .07 m/s 2 1.50 -1.00 1.57 m/s

Questions: 1. Was Conservation of Momentum verified in this experiment? Explain, based on your results. Yes, conservation of momentum was verified in this experiment. In both elastic and inelastic collisions we can see consistently that pbefore = pafter excluding experimental error. 2. Did the KE change in ways that were expected? Explain, based on your results. Kinetic energy did change in ways that were expected, as we see the mass and speed change in each trial whether raised or lowered, KE is directly proportional to the mass and velocity at which the object is moving up to the point of collision. 3. Did the coefficients of restitution all within the expected ranges? Explain, based on your results. They did. As we see the ratio of speed at which the two objects separated after the collision to the speed in which they were approaching prior to colliding. We know perfectly elastic collisions have a coefficient of restitution of 1 and perfectly inelastic collisions have a coefficient of restitution of 0.
