The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum before a collision equals the total momentum after a collision provided there are no outside forces acting on the objects in the system. What outside forces are acting on the present system that could affect the results of the experiments? Outside forces that could certainly affect results of the experiments could be the recording method like stopwatch on the phone, the surface that is chose and the measurements labeled, the angle of the ramp is a factor as well. 2. What did you observe when Cart A containing added mass collided with Cart B containing no mass? How does the law of conservation of momentum explain this collision? When Cart A had added mass with the washers and collided with cart B containing no mass, I observed that cart A had constant momentum while cart B absorbed it after the collision. The law of conservation of momentum explains this by the momentum remains constant. 3. In one of the experiments, Cart A may reverse direction after the collision. How is this accounted for in your calculations? Using negative signs tells the story that the cart reversed in direction after the Collison. This would have happened when cart B had more weight than cart.
