Experiment 2: For the second experiment, you will move the slider to "inelastic." Change the velocity of ball 1 before the collision and record them in the table. Let the balls collide, and record the velocities after the collision and record them in the table. Then calculate the total momentum before and after the collision.

Did this always happen? What is the difference in elastic and inelastic collisions? Experiment 2: For the second experiment, you will move the slider to "inelastic."
