... Dmitri Ramzaitsev 11B 29.09.03 Physics Laboratory Momentum Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate the relationship of the velocity to the mass of the carts in a closed system and thereby show the conservation of momentum. Hypothesis From the formula p=mv, it can be suggested that the velocity is inversely proportional to mass of the object. When we launch the cars with no extra masses they should travel at the same velocity. Ass we start adding weights to one of the carts, it should travel with a smaller velocity. The other cart, however, should still travel at the velocity it did in the first experiment. The more you add to one cart, the slower it will travel. The other one should still travel at the same velocity. The momentum of cart 2 and cart 1 should be equal. Therefore, if you multiply the mass of the first cart by its velocity it should equal
