Concept Overview:
1. Transfer and conservation of momentum
2. Elastic Collisions
3. Inelastic Collisions
Lecturer Procedure for Demonstration
Steps to Follow | Expected Result | Explanation |
---|---|---|
1. Place ball on spring with spikes pointed toward spring. 2. Compress spring. 3. Release ball. | Ball will travel from the edge of the spring and impact the pendulum. Pendulum will swing, moving the marker on the meter stick. Ball will roll away from pendulum | The momentum of the ball is transferred to the pendulum. |
