Marble Momenta Lab Report

Abstract the conservation of momentum is a very important concept in physics.

Marble momenta lab report.

The term conservation is something which doesnt change. In order for the moving marble s momentum to be conserved some of the momentum of the top marble should transfer to the unmoving bottom marble upon contact putting the immobile marble in motion. The bottom marble has no momentum whatsoever which means all the momentum comes from the rolling top marble. Momentum of various balls mass grams velocity.

The units are different. In the lab to test the principle of conservation of linear momentum my lab partner and i slid a steel ball down a track which at the end of the track collided into a hole in a wooden block and become embedded in the block. Rolling momentum lab today in lab we will be experimenting with momentum and measuring the actual force of impact due to.

Student advanced version only 8. Usually this means the momentum after an event is the same as the momentum before an event for this lab the event is a collision between marbles.

Graph 1 at angle of launch of 22. Graph 2 at angle of launch of 35. The goal of the lab is to experimentally confirm the conservation of linear momentum. Predicted and observed marble movement trial marbles on incline number size marbles on ruler number size predicted.

One cannot just add all the momentums and hope for the best. Conservation of momentum table 1. At angle of launch of 10. Where linear momentum is p mv the angular momentum l iω where i 0 4mr and ω v r.

Thus the angular momentum of a marble is l 0 4mrv. Taw is the term for a large marble. These changes in spin momentum are related to why linear momentum is consistently lost in these collisions. In this lab this was analyzed in multiple collision situations.
