LAB REPORT
Objective
In this lab, we are going to conduct an
experiment to demonstrate the law of Conservation of
Momentum by having two types of collision. One is
inelastic collision and the other one is inelastic
collision. Therefore, we will be recording data down
to calculate the velocity before the collision and
after the collision of the carts. Thereby, we will
be using two equations:
Cart 1 Cart 2
20 cm 20 cm
Data and result
Mass of car 1 = 510.11 g
Mass of car 2 = 513.7 g
