Newton’s Second Law –Part (II)
1. a)
Item | Mass( ) |
|||
Glider | ||||
Small Weights | ||||
Large Weights |
Glider length : _________________
6. b) iii
Print out a good oscilloscope graph (the trace of the force voltage vs. time).
6. c) ii & iii
Record the time and calculate the velocities :
(velocity = glider length / time)
Notice : the positive velocities and forces are measured to the left.)
(Momentum change ΔP= Pf – Pi =m( vf – vi ) )
Total glider mass used in the collision = ______________
Time ( ) |
Velocity ( ) |
Momentum( ) |
|
Before collision |
|||
After collision |
Momentum change ΔP= _______________
7. e) Record the results of the integration:
8. Compare the “momentum change” with the measured “Impulse”.
9. Repeat the experiment with adding weights to the glider:( Don’t need to print out any graph.)
