To study the law of conservation of momentumResearch4. Literature Review Sir Isaac Newton was a 17th-century physicist and mathematician. Newton developed the principles of modern physics, and in 1687 he published his most acclaimed work, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. This contained his famous laws of motion.First law: When viewed in an inertial frame, an object remains at rest or continues moving at a constant speed, unless acted upon by an external force.Second law: F = ma. The vector sum of the forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of this object multiplied by the acceleration vector a of the object. Third Law: When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite direction on the first body. The law of conservation of momentum is an application of Newton's second and third laws. The law of conservation of momentum states: For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in a system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision. In other words, the momentum lost by object 1 is equal to the momentum gained by object 2. Over the years, many practical experiments have been carried out to demonstrate the law of conservation of momentum and that which is probably the best known is the birthplace of Newton. the literature researched and the equipment available, it was decided to carry out the experiment using marbles on a flat surface. Based on my research, it was found that majority of the sources stayed true to the origin of the theory and they were very reliable as there is a correlation between them.5. The hypothesis...... middle of paper ...... were better than wood due to the different coefficient of friction. However, as the aim was to prove the conservation of momentum and this was done for the 4 balls under the same conditions, they played a minor role in the outcome of the experiment.8. Conclusion Based on the original hypothesis, we can infer that the hypothesis has been proven. The same result was obtained in the allowable variance for all four beads used in the experiment. The magnitude of variation as a deviation from momentum was well within the expected results for all. 4 samples. The variation can be attributed to external factors such as the timing of the distance traveled between the measured points.9.
