Go over Giancoli notes #2: Inelastic and elastic collisions
Lab in the computer room
Inquiry collision lab
Today’s vocabulary:
• Elastic collision
• Inelastic collision
• Homework: homework #2
INQUIRY COLLISON LAB
•
Supplies: Dynamic Cart
• Dynamic cart instructions—one with piston
• Some ideas
• Clay, balloons or rubber tubing
• Motion detectors
• Lab quests
Your mission: To develop three demonstrations that quantitatively show conservation of
motion (one needs to show elastic collision and one inelastic, you can use a third) You
must have a well thought out design before using the equipment as you will have exactly
15 minutes to gather your data. Your report will include data, graphs and a conclusion.
You must have a group report and it will be a power point presentation to the class
explaining your choices and what you found out. Presentations are to be no longer than
3 minutes and will be after the test on Feb 17.
