Question


Project 1
Make sure the motion detector is plugged into the LabPro box. Start Logger Pro. Click on File, Open, select Probes & Sensors, then Motion Detector, and then Motion Detector again. (Click OK if you get an error message.) You should have 3 graphs: distance, velocity, and acceleration. Click on Setup, Data Collection, Sampling, and type 50 into the "samples/sec" box. Click OK Make a trial run to be sure the motion detector can "see" the cart clearly for the full length of the track. Change the scales on the vertical axes to reasonable values (e.g., 0 to 2). Project # 1: Momentum (and energy) conservation for an "explosive" separation? One of the carts has a spring loaded plunger on one end. You can lock the plunger in the compressed position by pushing upward slightly (after pushing it in). To release the plunger, tap the release button on the top of the cart. release button In this project, you will investigate how the velocity of this cart depends on its mass and the mass of the object from which the cart pushes off. This scenario is decay event, where one nucleus, initially at rest, splits into two pieces, which fly off in opposit directions. If the cart pushes off of another cart, the picture is: analogous to a radioactiv initial state: If final state:
