EXPERIMENT #6
MOMENTUM AND COLLISION
ABSTRACT
In this experiment, the researcher's aim is to understand and collect data on momentum and collision. The advocate will go
through the key concentrations and mathematical definitions that are required to obtain data on the thoughts and associations of
momentum and collision on a continuous basis. Furthermore, the advocate intends to bring those concepts together and explain
real-life scenarios and experiments that depict how elastic collisions operate. Furthermore, the advocate would carry out the
techniques and methodology that should have been used to achieve the test's aim by the use of exercises on the given
connections, Furthermore, the researcher will use a simulation system to use momentum and collision. Similarly, such
methodologies will be carried out as effectively as possible for the defender to obtain the best possible results. As a result, the
researcher will discuss each of the results obtained in each method of the test. Finally, the advocate will draw conclusions based
on the concepts of momentum and collision that were demonstrated in the test.

, I. INTRODUCTION
Elastic and inelastic collisions of two objects can be distinguished. The total kinetic energy after an inelastic collision does
not equal the total kinetic energy before the collision.
An elastic collision occurs when the total kinetic energy of two or more bodies before the collision equals the kinetic
energy of the bodies after the collision. If kinetic energy is transferred to other sources of energy, an elastic collision will not occur.
Since atoms often collide, it's important to understand how elastic collisions function. There must be momentum conservation
before and after these two particles collide. If we know that this is an elastic collision, there must be conservation of kinetic energy
by definition. On the off chance that the collision is elastic, there’s conservation of kinetic energy, henceforth the condition yields.

Think about a collision of two bodies in two-measurement, when this crash happens in space, the all out straight force is
preserved along every x, y and z bearings. That is Pix = PFX , PIY , and PIZ = PFZ. Here, we will break down a two-dimensional
elastic collision between two bodies, where one body is moving, while the other body is very still. Since the collision elastic, it
follows the absolute straight force just as the kinetic energy of the framework are rationed.
Imprudent power is a force exerted by a body during a collision that can be calculated using Newton's second law if the particular
form of imprudent power is known. Since these abilities are complex parts of the collision period. The law of conservation of
momentum is particularly utilized in examining collisions and is applied preceding and after the collision.

The law of conservation of linear momentum states that if the net outer power following a system falls to zero and there is
no mass exchange with the framework's environmental factors, the framework's complete direct force remains constant.

1. To analyze a collision in order to accumulate evidence that supports the law of conservation of momentum.
2. To observe patterns in a collision between a little fish and a big fish and to develop a rule for predicting the post-collision
velocity of the two objects.
3. To analyze the explosion that propels two stationary carts in opposite directions in an effort to determine some guiding
physics principles that describe such explosions.
4. To gather evidence that can be used to support a claim that total system momentum is or is not conserved in an
explosion.
5. To gather evidence that can be used to support a claim that total system momentum is or is not conserved in an inelastic
collision
6. To gather evidence that can be used to support a claim that total system momentum is or is not conserved in an elastic
