5.Using your measurements from Table 3, calculate the total momentum of the two carts before collision for each trial (this is the initial momentum, p). Show your calculations below and record your results in Table 4 on the next page.
5.Using your measurements from Table 3, calculate the total momentum of the two carts before collision for each trial (this is the initial momentum, p). Show your calculations below and record your results in Table 4 on the next page.
6.Using your measurements from Table 3, calculate the total momentum of the two carts after collision for each trial (this is the final momentum, p′). Show your calculations below and record your results in Table 4.
7. Calculate the % change in momentum during the collision for each trial. Show your calculations below and record your results in Table 4.
% change = final − initial/ initial× 100 initial
8.Using your measurements from Table 3, calculate the total kinetic energy of the two carts before collision for each trial (this is the initial kinetic energy, K). Show your calculations below and record your results in Table 4.
Using your measurements from Table 3, calculate the total kinetic energy of the two carts after collision for each trial (this is the final kinetic energy, Kʹ). Show your calculations below and record your results in Table 4.
10. Calculate the % change in kinetic energy during the collision for each trial. Show your calculations below and record your results in Table 4.
