Students perform an experiment using two low-friction laboratory carts. A piece of timer tape is attached to Cart I and fed through a spark timer apparatus. The timer makes a mark on the tape each 0.10s. Cart I is pushed toward Cart II which is initially at rest. The carts collide, the piece of clay is deformed and holds the carts together as they continue to move. The mass of Cart I is 1.54kg. Timer tape Piece of clay Spark timer Tabletop Cart I Cart II The students repeat the above procedure manipulating the initial speed of Cart I. The graph of their observations is given below.
