In this lab your will become familiar with using conservation of momentum to solve problems and predict physical behavior. Conservation of momentum is an especially important tool for understanding collisions and explosions. Conservation of angular momentum is important when predicting the outcome of rotational interactions. Momentum conservation is a fundamental property of the physical world that needs to be understood for a complete understanding of physical processes.Objectives:After successfully completing this laboratory, you should be able to:Understand the concept of conservation of momentum and in what situations it is relevant.Use conservation of momentum to solve problems.Preparation:Read Sternheim & Kane: chapter 7. It is likely that you will be doing some of these laboratory problems before your lecturer addresses this material. It is very important that you read the text before coming to lab.Before coming to lab you should be able to:Write down the conservation of momentum equation for a system of two objects.Write down the conservation of angular momentum equation for a system of two objects.Describe the relationships between velocity, mass, and momentum.Describe the relationships between angular velocity, moment of inertia, and angular momentum.Describe how force, acceleration, and momentum are related.Describe how torque, angular acceleration, and angular momentum are related. ................
