Materials 5 Marbles Labware 2 Rulers EXPERIMENT 1: CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM In this experiment you will demonstrate transfers of momentum similar to those of the Newton's Cradle system (Figure 1). The velocity of a marble after impact depends on the original velocity and the mass of the objects at hand. 1. Use two rulers and make a runway between them by laying them flat on a level surface with the edges of each ruler parallel. The runway should be just wide enough for the marbles to pass through. 2. Line up four marbles in the center of the runway and ensure they are all touching. 3. Take the other marble and place it at one end of the runway. Flick it so it collides with the other marbles. Observe what happens to the four stationary marbles. 4. Try different speeds for flicking the marble into the four stationary marbles and observe how that changes the collision. Record the number of marbles that leave the runway in Table 1. 5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with three stationary marbles in the runway and two flicked marbles. 6. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with two stationary marbles in the runway and three flicked marbles. 7. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with one stationary marble in the runway and four flicked marbles. 8. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with a new combination of stationary marbles in the runway and flicked marbles. Part 2 1. Use two rulers and make a runway between them by laying them flat on a level surface with the edges of each ruler. Help me explain the experiment to audience
