Impulse And Momentum!

Yesterday we already had our Labs set up and went straight to work. We began our Impulse and Momentum labs. The objective were to 1. Measure a cart's momentum change and compare to the impulse it receives. 2. Comapre average and peek forces in impulses. We began the lab by using the web quest and a cart connected to an elastic band  finding final velocity, and  initial velocity on the lab quest. From here we could determine change of velocity. We then took the average force which helped us to find durations of impulse and the impulse.  From the lab we took down the data and were able to compare and constrast Impulse and change of momentum. We found out that  mpulse equals the change in momentum.

Next up is Ty.
