Homework Statement
Determine whether velocity is conserved in elastic and inelastic collisions? Use your experimental data to support your results.
Homework Equations
I have my data charts which show that velocity is not conserved in inelastic collisions, but in elastic collisions some...
Homework Statement
I have been working on a lab where I am doing an experiment with two carts. I have calculated the momentum of cart 1 before and after the collision, and the momentum of cart 2 before and after the collision, but then how do I get the total momentum before and after the...

I am confused though because the lab was a virtual one, so how could their be errors in data collection? My teacher asks us to calculate our percent error but when there is a virtual lab involved I fail to see how there can be any percent error. Where would the measurement errors for my...
Homework Statement
Within this lab I was supposed to perform a virtual experiment and find the rate a ball dropped on the moon, mars, and earth. I have recorded all of my results in the table below. My problem is that my average velocity on Earth ended up as 8.9 m/s, and I thought that the...
