SUNY Brockport Momentum Lab Report
Description
Collisions and momentum are something we experience everyday. Most of the collisions in our life are benign – bumping into a colleague in the hall, enjoying an evening of bowling, or competing in a billiards tournament. Some collisions, such as automobile accidents, are more serious. In these cases, advances in safety technology that leverage understanding of impulses and momentum have dramatically reduced fatalities. In this lab we will explore the concepts of impulse and momentum.
This activity is based on Lab 12 of the eScience Lab kit.
Our lab consists of two main components. These components are described in detail in the eScience manual. Here is a quick overview:
- In the first part of the lab, you will experiment with nearly elastic collisions using marbles.
- In the second part of the lab, you will put on your safety engineer’s hat and design a safe landing zone for an egg.
