Elastic Collision lab. I'm trying to calculate velocity,momentum, and kinetic energy in an elastic collision. The data Ihave is this. I tried using these numbers to calculate velocity andmomentum but the results show momentum is not conserved as itshould be. Is that just error from measurements or am I missingsomething?
