The notes for the physics lab on conservation of momentum focus on verifying the principle that the total momentum of a system remains constant in the absence of external forces. The lab includes experiments involving collisions between objects, both elastic and inelastic, to observe and calculate momentum before and after the interaction. Key concepts include the momentum equation, the distinction between elastic and inelastic collisions, and the importance of accounting for experimental uncertainties in measurements.

lab 8 : conservation of momentum

·
newton's second law ·


straight line analysis
·

when a net force ac ts on a object wl mass , the object's velocity changes
·

the object accelerates &



T
·

impulse -
momentum theorem
·



an impulse applied to a system changes the system's momentum Pf

the magnitude of the change i n momentum i s equal to the impulse applied

D
J =
AP
Po
F.
At = DMV

the slope of the line represents a 1 : 1 ratio of Po:pf

question 3 since momentum is conserved
·


↳ the expected slope is 1

·

the intercept represents the value of Pf in kg

Po is zero

question 4 DP = Am .
V + m .
DV


compare net forces
·




the net force on Carts Ad B are equal bic the forces they exerted
·




on each other during the collision are equal in magnitude a opposite

in direction

↳ according to newton's third law , every action has an equal but opposite reaction



question 5
·




compare net forces at different time collision
·


in


Fa would still be equal to Fd but opposite direc tions the contact forces
·




. of


the two carts start out equal a decrease at the same rate over that period of time



question G
·




total momentum of the collision
·




the total momentum i s zero because the sum of net forces of the system equals zero



Fsystem =
FA-FB = O

equal magnitude
opposite direction



question 7
·




·

what is the total change in momentum

the total momentum is zero since momentum i s conserved bic the sum of all forces is zero


·

conservation of momentum

on the system momentum is conserved
if there are no net external forces acting ,




Fad Fr are internal to our system



types of collisions
·




·
elastic collision
·


carts do not stick , & KE conserved
momentum


·

inelastic collision
·



carts stick ,
momentum conserved & KE not conserved
