Make a prediction about the conservation of momentum and kinetic energy in both elastic and inelastic collisions.
What factors can you change and measure to test your prediction? ????
My suggestions: • Mass of cart • Velocity of each cart • Sticking together or not
After lab, define elastic and inelastic to see if your prediction and your data are correct!

v v 4 m/s 20 kg Vf m m 40 kg 40 kg + 20 kg Examples of Momentum Charts A 40 kg girl rollerblades at 4 m/s toward her 20 kg dog, who is running at 7 m/s in the opposite direction. The dog leaps into the girl’s arms and they continue rolling together. Determine their velocity. -7 m/s
v v 300 m/s 0.03 kg ∆pw m m 0.03 kg -100 m/s 2) A 0.03 kg bullet travelling at 300 m/s ricochets off a wall at 100 m/s in the opposite direction. Determine the momentum transferred to the wall-earth system.
FDt = mDv = Dp • If there is a large impulse, the Dp will be great. • If there is a large force, there is a large acceleration, making Dv large • Large changes in p damage skin, bones, car bodies, etc… • Padding, follow through, seat belts, airbags reduce the change in momentum
