Lab 8: Impulse and Momentum Experiment for Physics 211/225 at CSU Fullerton. What You Need To Know : What You Need To Do: Part 1 – Impulse Question 1: Explain why the momentum was or was not conserved based on what was discussed in the intro to the lab. 1 Table 1 – Part 1 Data
Part 2 – Conservation of Momentum 2 Table 1 – Part 2 Data Cart #1 Cart #2 Total Momentum Kinetic Energy Trial Mass (kg) Initial Velocity (m/s) Final Velocity (m/s) Mass (kg) Initial Velocity (m/s) Final Velocity (m/s) Before (kgm/s) After (kgm/s) Before ( kg m 2 / s 2 ) After ( kg m 2 / s 2 ) KE loss ( kg m 2 / s 2 ) Elastic – Same Mass Elastic – Diff Mass Perfectly Inelastic
Elastic Collision – Same Mass Question 2: Explain your answers to the following in terms of what was discussed in the intro. Was the momentum conserved for your system from before to after? Was the momentum conserved for Cart #1 from before to after? Question 3: Physically speaking, why is this collision considered to be elastic? Do your calculated values for the kinetic energies reflect this? Explain. 3
