Physics Lab – Week 3 – Data Sheet Case 1 Red Cart (m*kg/s) Blue Cart (m*kg/s) Total: red cart + blue cart (m*kg/s) Momentum before the collision 0.5*0.1=0.05kg*m/s 1.0*0.0=0 kg*m/s 0.05kg*m/s + 0kg*m/s = 0.05kg*m/s Momentum after the collision 0.5kg * (-0.0333)m/s = -0.01665kg m/s 1.0kg * 0.0667m/s = 0.0667 kg m/s -0.01665kg m/s + 0.0667 kg m/s = 0.05005 kg m/s Before Collision: The red cart has momentum due to its motion, while the blue cart has zero momentum as it is stationary. After Collision: The total momentum is conserved. The distribution of this momentum between the two carts depends on their velocities after the collision. Case 2 Red Cart (m*kg/s) Blue Cart (m*kg/s) Total: red cart + blue cart (m*kg/s) Momentum before the collision 1.0kg * 0.1 m/s = 0.1kg m/s 1.0kg * 0.0m/s = 0 kg m/s 0.1kg m/s + 0 kg m/s = 0.1 kg m/s Momentum after the collision 1.0kg * 0.0 m/s = 0 kg m/s 1.0kg * 0.1 m/s = 0.1 kg m/s 0kg m/s + 0.1kg m/s = 0.1 kg m/s Before Collision: Only the red cart has momentum due to its motion. After Collision: The total momentum is conserved but is with the blue cart, which has taken over the velocity of the red cart. Case 3 Red Cart (m*kg/s) Blue Cart (m*kg/s) Total: red cart + blue cart (m*kg/s) Momentum before the collision 1.0kg * 0.1 m/s = 0.1kg m/s 1.0 * (-0.1)m/s = -0.1kg m/s 0.1kg m/s – 0.1kg m/s = 0 kg m/s Momentum after the collision 1.0kg * (-0.1) m/s = -0.1kg m/s 1.0kg * 0.1 m/s = 0.1 kg m/s -0.1 kg m/s + 0.1 kg m/s = kg m/s Before Collision: The total momentum of the system is zero, as the momentum of the carts are equal and opposite. After Collision: The total momentum remains zero. Each cart reverses its direction of motion, maintaining the equal but opposite direction of the system. 1
