Today in class we learned about momentum. The equation for momentum is momentum (p) = mass(m) x Velocity (v). In this picture there are two carts on top of an air lab and the whole point of the lab was to watch these two carts (objects) collide together. Many of the things in real life contain something that relates to physics. In this specific lesson it's about objects that collide and how the energy or speed gets transferred over from one object to another. In this picture cart 1 and cart 2 have the same amount of weight on it and one of them is at rest while the other one is set in motion. While the one in motion collides with the other one at rest the speed/ momentum gets transferred over causing the other one to be in motion. This lab was so cool and interesting to see how energy and speed transfers over from one object to another.
