Collision Lab Elastic Collisions = Burpase: To gather evidence that can be used to support claim that total system momentum is, oris not conserved in an clastic collision. Background: The objects involved in a collision are often considered as a system. Provided that the system of two objects is not experiencing a net external impulse, there would be no change in momentum of the system. If one object within the system loses momentum, i is gained by the ather abject within the system. The combined momentum of both objects would bbe conserved. Collision 1: Set the mass and velocity values to different values. Before Collision After Collision Use mass and velocity valucs to complete the following, momentum table. ~| Before Collision [After Collision __|_ SMomentum Red Cart 3 kex__hisms [_ 23 tex 2 57 mss [DSF kgs = SAFE “hgrmls Blue Cart ST kei bs | Sigs SPS ms | 4 [e215 ke-mls 215 TS Kees 4 System Total { ‘Red Cart Blue Cart ST - = t System Total e | oe! | ose 1 | opt pail a Red Cart ~ Ake x “Fm |= 2) ke x - 33 ms _— TEE Cheon |i 2eler tems pe G92 Bic Cart ~The x.
