COnservation of momentum
...l push the 2nd car into the first car. Then I will measure the distance that the 1st car traveled after being bumped by the second car. I will be doing this 3 times to get an average number. I will be using 2 of the same kind of cars with the same masses. This is what I will be doing. In this experiment I will be measuring the masses and motions using Kilograms, Meters and Meters per Second. The data is V=d/t P=mxv1. Car 1, the car in the front, is 4 kg and car 2 is 356 kg. And moving at 0 m/s. When I pushed the 2nd car into the first it was moving at 5 m/s. it hit the other car at 5 m/s and made car 1 which was at 0m/s go to 3m/s. It was stopped then at 1 foot and 6 inches. So the cars were places a foot a part and once the 2nd car was push into the first it made the 1st car gain speed therefore creating momentum. In this experiment I don’t really see valuable energy loss because if the first car was pushed into the second making it go a foot and...
