Play with the Sims Physics Motion Collision Lab Introduction:
When objects move, they have momentum. Momentum, p, is the
product of an object’s mass (kg) and its velocity (m/s). The unit for
momentum, p, is kg·m/s. During a collision objects transfer momentum
to each other, resulting in different motions than before the collision. In
this activity you will study the motion colliding objects. momentum = m × v
ELASTIC Collisions m1v1before + m2 v 2before = m1v1after + m2 v 2after 1. What defines a collision as being elastic? 2. Simulate the four elastic collisions below. Complete the table using math formulas and the simulation. BEFORE COLLISION #

collision. Compare the final velocities of each object to their initial velocities. 4. A less-massive moving object has an elastic collision with a more-massive object that is not moving.
Compare the initial velocity (speed and direction) of the less-massive object to its final velocity. INELASTIC Collisions m1v1before + m2 v 2before = m1 + m2 v after 5.

which direction will both objects travel after the collision? 8. A less-massive object is moving in the same direction as a more-massive object, but with a higher speed.
They experience an inelastic collision. Describe the speed of the more-massive object after the collision. 9. Objects 1 has half the mass of object 2 and the objects move toward each other and experience an
inelastic collision. If both objects do not move after the collision compare the velocity of both objects
before the collision. 10. Show mathematically the total momentum before the collision in trial #1 is conserved after the collision.
