momentum and Inelastic collisions

Created by

In this activity, students will use the equation for the law of conservation of momentum to predict the initial velocity of the metal sphere for an inelastic collision. Students will measure the mass of the objects, and the final velocity of the cart-ball system after the collision, and use the equation for conservation of momentum to calculate the initial velocity of the ball, this activity may be extended by also measuring the initial velocity of the ball using an extra motion sensor, a photog

Physics with Mr S

A major theme throughout experimental physics is error/uncertainty analysis and analyzing precision and accuracy. Primary ways of doing so are through means, standard deviations, coefficients of determination (R^2), percent difference, and percent error. This packet gives a brief overview of their definitions and how to apply them. It makes a good reference handout to students taking a lab class.
