    Summary: During this lab we found out that the velocity before and after the collision was virtually the same and the momentum before is also virtually the same as the momentum after. This lab was fairly easy to complete and our group didn’t require any extra help form the teachers. We found out that Momentum equals mass times velocity and impulse can be calculated by finding the area under the curve. We had a little trouble getting the motion sensor to work, but was easily fixed after double checking the…
