    This document appears to be an experiment report for a physics class investigating elastic and inelastic collisions between carts using an online simulation. The objective was to demonstrate conservation of linear momentum in collisions. Procedures involved performing simulations of elastic and inelastic cart collisions and recording the velocities before and after. Data tables show the initial and final velocities of carts in various collision scenarios. Questions ask about momentum in fully inelastic collisions where carts stick together and fully elastic collisions.

    I. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate both elastic and inelastic collisions of carts by using


    different methods of conservation of linear momentum, which can show the loss or
    gain of energy in the system.

    II. PROCEDURES:
    1. Open the link for the online simulation of collision carts:
    https://www.physicsclassroom.com/Physics-Interactives/Momentum-and-
    Collisions/Collision-Carts/Collision-Carts-Interactive.
    2. Perform the online simulation of collision carts before collision for elastic and
    inelastic collision then observe the motion of two carts after each collision.
    3. Draw the diagram for the after collision.

    III. DATA AND RESULTS:
    A. ELASTIC COLLISIONS

    Vb = 5 Va=-5m/s Vb=0

    Va= -5m/s Va=Vb Vb = 5m/s

    Va= -5m/s Vb=6m/s


    Va<Vb

    Vb=4m/s Va= -2m/s Va=Vb Vb=2m/s

    Va= 4m/s Va=2m/s Va<Vb Vb=6m/s

    Va=4m/s Vb=-4m/s Vb=8m/s

    Va=5m/s Vb=-4m/s Va=0.5m/s Va<Vb Vb=9.5m/s

    Va=-0.5m/s Va<Vb Vb=8.5m/s


    Va=4m/s Vb=-5m/s

    B. INELASTIC COLLISIONS

    Vb=-5m/s Va=-2.5m/s Vb=-2.5m/s

    Va=0m/s Vb=0m/s

    Va=5m/s Vb=-4m/s Va=0.5m/s Vb=0.5m/s

    Vb=-4m/s Va=-1m/s Vb=-1m/s

    Va=5m/s Va=3.8m/s Vb=3.8m/s

    5m/s
    Va=2.5m/s Vb=2.5m/s

    Va=6m/s Vb=-5m/s Va=3.3m/s Vb=3.3m/s

    Va=4m/s Vb=-5m/s Va=1.8m/s Vb=1.8m/s

    IV. QUESTIONS:
    1. When the two carts having the same mass and the same speed collide and stick
    together, they stop. What happened to each cart’s momentum? Is momentum
    conserved?
    2. When the two carts having the same mass and the same speed collide and bonce off
    elastically, what is the final momentum of the carts?

    V. CONCLUSION:

    “Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same amount of hours per day that were given
    to… Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo Di Vinci… and Albert Einstein.” – H. Jackson Brown Jr.”
