Question

Graphical Analysis of Collisions Data Tables and Post-Lab Assessment Procedure Part 1 1. For each Graphs 1, 2 and 3, determine whether the colion was perfectly inelastic, inelastic, or elastic. Use the data from the graphs to support your answer. In all Part 1 cases, the mass of both carts is the same. Momentum Versus Time of Collision 1 4.8 3.6 112.41 1.2 0 0.1 02 02 0.3 04 0.50.6 0.6 0.7 08 Time (s) Graph 1: Momentum vs. Time of Collision 1. The red data set repres ents the momen- tum of one object and the blue data repres ents the momentum of a second object. Af ter 0.4 s, the red data set continues under the blue data set. ©eScience Lab

Explanation / Answer

Graph 1: Perfectly inelastic

Graph 2: Elastic

Graph 3: Inelastic

Graph 4

3 ( 2) + m (-2) = 3 (1) + 1.45

m2= 0,8 kg apprx

v2= 0.775 m/s
