MARTIN WARRIOR AP PHYSICS Model # 8 | Momentum Transfer Model (MTM) Experiment: Impulse DYNAMICS CART CARDBOARD TARGET FORCE SEESOR MOTION DETECTOR RING STU Vo You want to calculate the impulse given to a dynamics cart when it collides with a force sensor. Set up your equipment as shown above. The function of the "cardboard target" is to provide a surface for the motion detector's beams to reflect off of. A. Sketch a graph of what you predict (i) velocity as a function of time and (ii) force as a function of time graphs will look like for the time just before the collision to just after the collision. Velocity Int sanads at Bold Force Time Time B. Explain how the velocity vs. time graph can be used to determine the impulse given to the cart during the collision. (You will need another piece of information in addition to the velocity vs. time graph. Fortunately, this information is easy to find using commonly available lab equipment.) Snotaillon grit varie mateys 8-sun ard to C. Explain how the force vs. time graph can be used to determine the impulse given to the cart during the collision. D. Conduct the experiment. Make any corrections necessary to the general shape of your two graphs above. Add numbers to your graphs. Based on your collected data, what was the impulse given to the cart? 8.5
