PRACTICAL INVESTIGATION MOMENTUM AND COLLISIONS
This report will investigate the theoretical velocity of a ball bearing gun. The methods and techniques used to derive the results will be shown along with the possible systematic and random errors caused by experimental limitations.
Discussion:
· Since the track is virtually frictionless and air resistance is neglected, the system is isolated; the net resultant force of the external forces equals zero.
· The total linear momentum …showed first 75 words of 662 total…

…showed last 75 words of 662 total…body that was the combined mass and momentum of the previous bodies. The result was obtained by recognizing that the initial velocity/momentum of the ball bearing could be determined by utilizing the conservation of momentum law; that as long as the net resultant external forces equal zero, the momentum will be constant. From this exercise I learnt new method and techniques used in calculating errors and uncertainty.
