Title of Experiment Your Name Goes here Date Abstract The abstract is optional for these reports. This short paragraph gives the reader an overview of what your paper is about, i.e. experiment and results. 1 Introduction Describe the background and theory behind your experiment. How was this idea developed? What was the motivation behind it? What were the experimental results and how did they impact physics? 2 Setup and Procedure This section details the process with which the experiment was set up. What steps were used to conduct the experiment? Did you have any issues during experiment? If so, how were they corrected? 3 Results This section shows and explains the results of your experiment. Do these results agree with what you would have expected? Why or why not? This is also the section where you may answer the post lab questions. 4 Conclusion The conclusion should be a quick retelling of your experiment and results. What do your results say for the experiment? What is anything could have helped achieve better results? No new 1 information should be given in the conclusion. 5 Bibliography Had you used any outside materials, i.e. reference books, journals etc. the sources go here. 2

Momentum and Collisions

Introduction
The experiment consists of two or more balls on a collision path. It is worth noting that
the main objective is the verification of momentum and kinetic energy conservation. The
direction, magnitude, and velocity of colliding bodies (balls in this case) are known to change
collision. During a crash of balls in this experiment, the force involved could be large but acts
within a short time. There are two primary scientific laws applied in this case are:
1).Law of conservation in the event of linear momentum: According to the law of linear
momentum, the direction of the total linear rate before the collision and after the crash is
equally provided; no external fo...
