How Guns Work
d all guns remain the same. Weapons such as cannons, shotguns and rifles, work on the basic idea of conservation of momentum and the change in energy from potential to kinetic.When the trigger is pull ... h the bullet out of its way through the end of the barrel. This is how a bullet is fired from a gun.Conservation of momentum is the law that is held true when the gun is fired and a 'kick' is felt. Wh ...

Experiment #3: Collisions
of the PH1004 laboratory course is broken down into two parts. In part A, the aim is to assess the conservation of momentum and of kinetic energy for an elastic collision between a moving glider, whi ... locity of a moving object. For an isolated system, total momentum remains unchanged over time. This conservation of momentum is one of the most important and universal of the conservation laws of phys ...

Conservation of Momentum
y and is the type of collision dealt with in this lab.Moving on this lab deals with the idea of the conservation of momentum in any situation. When two objects enter into contact they briefly exert a ... momentum. This is the theory, however there are certain conditions that are needed to maintain this conservation of momentum. They are as follows.The system is a closed system, meaning there are no ne ...

Physics Lab Report
cts stick together. (From Mr. Ladbrook’s PowerPoint) One must also be familiar with the Law of Conservation of Momentum in order to fully understand the experiment. The law basically states that ... and the M1 started to move in a similar speed (velocity). This is possible to happen because of the conservation of momentum law, which states that as long as no extra mass is added or taken and all f ...
