Video Analysis – part 2

Take Notes!!!

Analyzing Momentum and Energy Using Video on

LoggerPro

How much kinetic energy and momentum is transferred to linear

motion in an elastic collision, and in an inelastic collision?

What do you need to accomplish this task?Data needed: think…

Method/setup for collecting data:Math/equations:Presentation of your evidence:

Your individual write-up in PowerPointYour final project will be turned in to the Dropbox by the start of school Monday.

There will be 8 slides only. No more, no less.Opening slide will have your name on it. There will be a picture of the elastic collision from loggerpro and the graphs (with slopes). There will be a BRIEF description of the collision.Next slide is the data tableNext slide is the momentum write-up and..Last slide is the kinetic energy write-up

Now repeat this for the inelastic collision. (4 slides)

Inelastic Collision from Ima Student0.25kg cart on right (-0.42m/s), 0.75kg cart on left (0.57m/s), both moving towards each

other and then moving to the left at -0.87m/s after the

collision

2 0.750 0 0.236 0 .175 0 .0418

Example of MomentumThe cart on the right was going -0.480m/s before colliding with the cart on the left that was at rest. The collision was inelastic. The two carts velocity was -0.236m/s after the collision. Both these velocities were determined by finding the slopes of the best-fit line on the position/time graph.

By the conservation of momentum, the total momentum before the collision(.75kg x -.480m/s = -.360kgm/s) should be equal to the momentum afterwards (1.5kg x -.236m/s = -.354kgm/s).

There is an error of 1.7%. (. 006/.360 x 100)

We have less momentum after the collision. We feel that the best explanation for this error is ________________

Using the cameraNo camera movement

If the camera moves the data is worthlessShoot perpendicular to the motion

Or problems with parallax Shoot extra footage

Lead in and out for 3 secondsDo not shoot for more than 10 seconds to keep file size down

Have a known distance in the shotA ruler/meter-stick works wellIt HAS to be the same distance to the camera as the object in motion

Downloading video:Plug the Flip-camera into the USB port on the computerSelect “Open folder to view files” from the pop-upOpen the “DCIM” folderOpen the “100VIDEO” folderDrag your movie clip onto the desktop (you MUST save this into your Physics folder before doing video analysis)You may want to rename them inelastic and elastic collision…
