This allows us to write the momentum impulse theorem.
Marble collision lab conclusion.
2 balls of identical mass 1.
Use an air hockey table to investigate simple collisions in 1d and more complex collisions in 2d.
Vary the elasticity and see how the total momentum and kinetic energy changes during collisions.
This was done by causing elastic collisions inelastic collisions and explosions of carts on a dynamic track.

2 d collision lab problem.
Experiment with the number of discs masses and initial conditions.
Play with the sims physics motion collision lab work with 1d collisions at this.
Is momentum conserved in a two dimensional collision.
In this lab this was analyzed in multiple collision situations.
You can see in this photo below a sample student science notebook.

In this lab you will roll a marble down a ramp and at the bottom of the ramp the marble will collide with another marble.
You will measure the speed of each marble before and after the collision to determine whether momentum is conserved in this system for collisions between marbles of varying relative masses.
Swivel the curved ramp around until it is lined up with the target support.
Abstract the conservation of momentum is a very important concept in physics.
The purpose of this lab was to look at a two dimensional collision two marbles and to determine if momentum and energy are conserved.
To keep the marbles straight this lab will refer to the inbound marble as the blue marble and the marble that is sitting still on the track at the start as the white marble.
The marble coming into the collision is called the inbound marble in this laboratory.
Marble collisions teacher version in this lab you will roll a marble down a ramp and at the bottom of the ramp the marble will collide with another marble.
You will measure the speed of each marble before and after the collision to determine whether momentum is conserved in this system for collisions between.
Your marbles may be different in color.
During a collision an object s momentum can be transferred to impulse which is the product of force n and time s over which the force acts.
I display the directions for this marble lab on the board for all to see and then let students begin exploring.
