March 6-7, 2008

Well, there was some confusion whether who will be the scribe for last Thursday and Friday, so i'm going to apologize for the lateness of this scribe. During the Thursday class, we just talked about elastic and inelastic collision. Then the rest of the class was spent on working on the following worksheets:
Chapter 9: Study Guide
Chapter 7: Momentum
9: Study Guide
Impulse and Momentum

During Friday's class, we did a lab on the conservation of momentum, one ball colliding with another. We rolled a sphere down a little ramp colliding with another sphere at the end of the ramp, set up at an angle either to the left or to the right. This lab was done to prove that the momentum before and after collision is equal.
