The purpose of this lab was to show that momentum and energy are conserved and using our knowledge of conservation of momentum and energy to find the the velocity initial velocity of the projectile.
Experiment
This simple experiment is done by loading a ball into the launcher then launching it into the block. The ball will then collide with the block and raising the block to a certain height at a certain angle. We then collect the data we need from the experiment that we need for our calculations, such as the angle, mass of the ball, the length of the sting holding the block, etc..
From there we then took the data and solved for the initial velocity of the ball as well as calculated the uncertainty for our answer. The uncertainties for this experiment came from the mass of the block, mass of the ball, length of the string, and the angle that the white block rose.
