Calculate the percentage momentum and kinetic energy lost during the collision
OBJECTIVE
4.Plug the photo gates into the 850 Universal Interface.
5.Measure flag length and insert that value in the capstone program.
Part 2: Conservation of Momentum in Inelastic Collision
1.Setup the motion sensor to the air track and connect to universal interface.2.Attach a needle tip to glider one and a wax receptacle to glider two. Mass the gliders with new attachments. Record these values.
Part 3: Impulse-Momentum Theorem
1.Connect force sensor to universal interface and zero out the sensor.2.Attach a reflector and bumper to the glider and mass it. Record the value.
