Analysis Based from then activity which balls had the best elastic collisions on each surface?.
How do you distinguish between elastic and inelastic collision?
Abstraction An elastic collision follows the Law of Conservation of Momentum, which states "the
total amount of momentum before a collision is equal to the total amount of momentum after
a collision." In addition, the total kinetic energy of the system (all the objects that collide) is
conserved during an elastic collision.
In an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the system is conserved, but the total
kinetic energy of the system is not conserved. Instead, the kinetic energy is transferred to

Attachment
Materials List
3 different balls (suggestions: ping-pong ball, tennis ball, racquetball, golf ball, baseball, super ball,
clay, billiards ball)
3 different bouncing surfaces (suggestions: tile floor, linoleum floor, carpeted floor, wooden block,
cinder block)
kilogram or gram scale
meter stick
3 copies of the Bouncing Balls Worksheet (one per student)
Gather materials.
Make enough copies of the Bouncing Balls Worksheet so that each student has one.
1. Determine the mass in kilograms of each ball and record it on the data sheet.

2. Drop each ball from a distance of 1 meter onto the surface and record how high it bounces in meters
(example: 0.46 meters).
3. Note whether the ball and surface showed more of an elastic or inelastic collision.

1. Based on the Height of the bounce for each ball, is the collision more elastic or inelastic? Fill in the table
accordingly.
2. Calculate the velocity of each ball right before it hits the surface (Starting Velocity). Why do you only have to
perform this calculation once?
3. Calculate the velocity of each ball right after it hits the surface (Ending Velocity).
4. Calculate the momentum of each ball before it hits the surface (Starting Momentum).
5. Calculate the momentum of each ball after it hits the surface (Ending Momentum).
6.Calculate the change in momentum and the percentage of momentum that was lost for each case.
