Question: Does there appear to be any interesting relation between the magnitudes of the changes in velocity * and * experienced by the two pucks?

Answer:

Question: Can you notice a single “rule” which seems to govern all of our 2 dim collision data? Check your “theory” against the data obtained by all other groups in your laboratory group.

Answer: The law of conservation of momentum affirms that in flawless, frictionless, flat conditions the mass ratio and change in velocity should be equivalent. In other words, the momentum in the system should be held constant. In our experiment, for the most part, this law held true. However, our two results were not exactly the same, which may have been caused from a source of error. This source of error may have been due to friction, gravity from the unleveled air table,
