Conservation of Momentum in Two-Dimensions Unit 3: Energy and Momentum Formal Lab
The purpose of this investigation is to study conservation of momentum and kinetic energy in a
two-dimensional collision for four types of collisions involving two masses.
1) a straight shot with one mass at rest.
2) a glancing blow shot with one mass at rest.
3) a linear head-on collision with two masses in motion.
4) a 2D collision with two masses in motion. Will the momentum be the same before the
collision as it is after the collision? Will the kinetic energy be conserved?
