Requirements for Momentum in 2-D lab

Lab Report
Background

  • Momentum, Conservation of Momentum, How to add vectors, What assumptions are we making?

Method:

  • Diagram

Data:  (no graphs this time)

  • Data Table
  • Vector diagrams with vector addition (2)
  • Calculations (lots)  show and explain your work

Conclusion:

  • Was momentum conserved?
  • How convincing was your evidence?

Error Analysis:

  • How well did we achieve our assumed conditions?
  • How closely could you make measurements?  (mass, velocity, angle)
  • How closely could you make drawings, calculations?
  • How did these these limitations affect your interpretation of the results?
  • What was your percent errors?
