Arnav Sridher Period 2 Physics Collision Investigation Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the change in total momentum and total kinetic energy of an isolated 2 car collision. Procedure: Go to the website given Set up trial 1 Set a velocity for both cars as well as the mass. Make sure to follow the sheet that says what each trial should include. Press go and record the final velocity for each vehicle Repeat the steps for each trial Once you have 10 trials accounted for, calculate kinetic energy using the equation Ek=1/2(mv2) Once you have done this for the 10 trials, calculate the momentum that each vehicle has using the equation P=mv Data Table: Trials 1-4(elastic), trials 5-8(perfectly inelastic), and trials 9&10(inelastic) M1 (Kg) M2 (Kg) V1 (m/s) V2 (m/s)
