Hey, could you help me fill in the chart the link to the website is in the procedure

PY12U Lab - Conservation of Momentum

Purpose: To observe the law of conservation of momentum during one dimensional interactions: elastic collisions, inelastic collisions and explosions.

Hypothesis: The heat loss/gain during an ...

A) elastic collision will be negligible Q <= 5% of Ki.

B) inelastic collision will be significant Q >= 20% of Ki.

C) explosive interaction will be significant Q << 0 J.

Procedure

• If at home then use the Physics Classroom simulator (https://www.physicsclassroom.com/Physics-Interactives/Momentum-and-Collisions/Collision-Carts/Collision-Carts-Interactive ).
• If in class or at home conduct two of each interaction mentioned above in the hypothesis. For each interaction do so once with two carts of equal mass (ex. approximately 1 kg with 1 kg or 2 kg with 2 kg - you pick), then once with one cart more massive than the other by 1 to 3 kg (ex. 1 kg with 4 kg or 5 kg with 6 kg - you pick).

Interaction Type	Equal Masses	Unequal Masses
Elastic	E1	E2
Inelastic	I1	I2
Explosive	X1	X2

Fill in the observation chart and then provide sample calculations for either *E2 or *I2. You may find it impossible to calculate %Q for explosive interactions.
