Newton's Third Law Lab 3/25/2015

Posted by E Wednesday, March 25, 2015

Part 1: Collision Lab - Simulation (Open in Puffin iPad)

Part 2: Elastic Lab

Part 3: Problem Set - Momentum

Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


Momentum: the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.

Momentum affects what actually happens when two objects collide! Today you are going to be analyzing elastic and inelastic collisions. Elastic collisions tend to transfer more kinetic energy back onto the original object (Equal and opposite reaction). Complete the lab below with your group.
