Lab: Conservation of Linear Momentum

Question 1

To run the simulation, you will alter mass in creating momentum of the carts. The total mass of the carts in the collision is the variable.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

independent

Question 2

The velocity of the combined carts after the collision will change because of the change in the independent variable. In this way, the final velocity is the variable.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

dependent

Question 3

Review data tables A–H in your Student Guide. Did you record all data throughout the virtual lab experiment?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

yes

Question 4

Obtain a copy of the Student Guide for this lab. Your teacher may provide a copy, or you can click the link to access it. Be sure to read the entire Student Guide for this lab. Did you read the Student Guide carefully?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

yes

Question 5

What did you include in your hypothesis? Check all that apply.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

The “if” part of the hypothesis refers to total mass.; The “then” part of the hypothesis refers to final velocity.; The “because” part of the hypothesis refers to the variables that determine momentum.; Conservation of momentum is mentioned.
