• Name ____Jasleen Kaur _________ This Lab uses the Collision Lab simulation provided by PhET at the University of Colorado Boulder. It is divided into three activities. Before starting, please scroll through the worksheet to check the page numbers and get all the information. Complete all activities before submitting the lab. Each lab counts for 20 points and is about 1.42% of the total grade. Lab Goals This lab will help you learn the following:  How to apply conservation of momentum  How to build different trials using a physics simulation. Preliminary Settings  Launch the simulation and select the tab Explore 1D.  From the menu on the right, select: Values and Velocity.  In the screen below, click on More Data.  Uncheck Reflecting borders.

Send ball 1 in direct collision against ball 2. The trials must include one case with one ball initially at rest, another trial with one fast ball chasing the slow other, another trial with one mass double of the other and equal speeds. ● For each of the three trials change the values of the speeds and of the masses. ● Fill out all the tables. ● Add a screenshot of your work on the simulation for each table you are completing. In total 3 screenshots, please place them at the end of each table. ● For each table of data compute the total initial momentum, i.e. the sum of the initial momentum of ball 1 plus the initial momentum of ball 2. ● For each table of data compute the total final momentum, i.e. the sum of the final momentum of ball 1 plus the final momentum of ball 2. ● Is momentum conserved on each of your trials?
