Conservation of Linear Momentum (PhET Simulation)

Objective

The purpose of this experiment is to understand the conditions that make conservations of momentum and energy in collision. You will perform PhET simulation to see the collision events.

Preparation & Warning

Please follow each procedure carefully.
