OPENING QUESTION: Make a list of significant differences between what we are calling our 'magnetic' collision and our 'basic' collision where the cart hits the backstop with the plunger.

Now sort those and be prepared to share out the item that is *most* significant

WORDS O' THE DAY:

• momentum (p=mv)
• impulse (∆p or F∆T)

FORMULAE OBJECTUS:

CALENDAR: The collusion' lab is due one week from yesterday (Thursday, February 13th, 2025)

p=mv

J = ∆p

J = F∆t

WORK O' THE DAY:

Please take whatever data you need to complete your investigation.

Now let's make sure we review the lab specs

═══════════════════════════

When you're done with that, please take the exact same data for the 'magnetic collusion' and compare the results and do a % change calculation (it's similar to the error calc I showed you a week or so ago). Please do the same number of trials as you did for the lab.

═══════════════════════════

We'll move on to day #2 of Momentum & Impulse if time permits
