Activity 3: Elastic Collision: Mass Added to Cart B Data Table 3 Table 3A. Cart A before collision. Cart A mass, m | Distance, d (m) Time, t (s) Average time, t | Velocity = d/t (kg) (s) (m/s) VA 0.0826 .33 Trial 1: 24 198 1.66 Trial 2: 18 Trial 3: 24 Table 3B. Cart A after collision. Cart A mass, m Distance, d (m) | Time, t (s) Average time, t Velocity = d/t (kg) (s) (m/s) VA' 0.0833 0.007 Trial 1:26 287 0.326 Trial 2: 33 Trial 3: 25 Table 3C. Cart B after collision. Cart B mass, m Distance, d (m) Time, t (s) Average time, Velocity = d/t (kg) + ( s ) (m/s) vs' .3754 .38 Trial 1: 65 .644 512 Trial 2: 70 Trial 3: 70 Calculations for Activity 3. Elastic Collision: Mass Added to Cart B. Apply the law of conservation of momentum to the two-cart system by calculating the momentum before and after the collision. Helpful equations: Momentum before the collision = mAVA + mEVE Momentum after the collision = mAVA' + meVB mAVA + MBVB = mAVA + mBUB' first value - second value Percent difference = x 100% first value + second value 1. Calculate the momentum of the system before the collision (the left side of the equation) and after the collision (the right side of the equation). 2. Calculate the percent difference between the two values
