OPEN-ENDED INVESTIGATION: COLLISIONS
GIVEN: Dynamics carts of known mass
TASK: Perform video analysis of two collisions (videos) and analyse data to determine the type of collision.
a. Objects bouncing from each other after the collision.
b. Objects traveling in the same direction and sticking together after the collision.
Poster: Summary of results and advantages/disadvantages of video analysis
ADDING CALCULATED COLUMNS IN LOGGER PRO
AP PHYSICS 1
Essential Knowledge 5.D.1: In a collision between objects, linear momentum is conserved. In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is the same before and after.
- LO 5.D.1.4: The student is able to design an experimental test of an application of the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, predict an outcome of the experiment using the principle, analyze data generated by that experiment whose uncertainties are expressed numerically, and evaluate the match between the prediction and the outcome. [SP 4.2, 5.1, 5.3, 6.4]
Essential Knowledge 5.D.2: In a collision between objects, linear momentum is conserved. In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not the same before and after the collision.
- LO 5.D.2.2: The student is able to plan data collection strategies to test the law of conservation of momentum in a two-object collision that is elastic or inelastic and analyze the resulting data graphically. [SP4.1, 4.2, 5.1]
