Lab: Conservation of Linear MomentumIntroduction:The goal of the lab is to experimentally confirm the conservation of linear momentum.In the lab, to test the principle of conservation of linear momentum, my lab partner and I slid asteel ball down a track, which, at the end of the track, collided into a hole in a wooden block andbecome embedded in the block. The block swung as a pendulum as a result of the impact.Finally, we were able to calculate and compare the linear momentum of the steel ball before andafter the collision, to accomplish the goal of this lab. A real world application for theConservation of linear momentum is the launch of a rocket. Upon ignition, a rocket sendsexhaust gases downward (downward momentum). To balance this downward momentum, therocket moves upward and linear momentum is conserved
