In this activity you will investigate impulse-momentum for a collision. First consider a foam ball colliding...
PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A golf ball with mass 5.70 x 10 2 kg is struck with a club as shown in the figure above. The force on the ball varies from zero when contact is made up to some maximum value (when the ball is maximally deformed) and then back to zero when the ball leaves the club, as in the graph of force vs. time in the figure below....
Impulse and Momentum Name: Date: TA's Name: Learning Objectives: 1. Understanding force ys time curves for a collision. 2. Calculating impulse using force vs. time curves. 3. Understanding the relationship between impulse and momentum. 4. Applying conservation of momentum for inelastic collisions. Apparatus: Aluminum track, track legs, two smart carts, two cart stops, and small black rectangular cart masses. Part A: Collision of a moving cart with a fixed cart cart 1 Cart stop stationary cart cart stop Consider the...
TRIAL 1 600 2.610 9.91 o.2 0.39 2.62 43 Average Result: The average speed of the given ball is velas hralels 1) Pull the penduum to the side, insert the ball into the gun, and compress and latch the gun spring Release the pendulum so that it hangs vertically 2) Fire the gun. The pendulum will latch near the highest point of its swing. Measure ne height ha·the vertical distance from the pendulum platform to the center of the ball...
