Today we took a look at momentum. Which is basically, how hard it is to get something to stop.
Homework due next week is to...
Take the data from today and create two graphs. One momentum vs. distance and the other diameter vs. distance. Plot all 5 balls on each graph. Take a look at the results. Do the graphs make sense? Can you draw any conclusions? Thinking about momentum...is this what you would expect to see? Can you think of any hypotheses to explain why what you expected to see did not match what the data shows?
Go to this website http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/collision-lab/collision-lab_en.html and using that simulation fill out the worksheet .pdf. I attached to this email.
Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have!
