    This document describes a physics investigatory project on the 2D collision of two balls. The aim is to study collision in two dimensions by colliding one ball rolling down a ramp with a target ball at rest. The procedure involves releasing the rolling ball to mark its landing point, then colliding it with the target ball and marking the landing points of both balls. Vectors are drawn from these points to determine total momentum after collision and verify conservation of momentum. The conclusion is that the total momentum after collision equals the initial momentum of the rolling ball.

    CBSE and submission satisfactory report has completed in
    following pages under my supervision.
    ACKNOWLEDGMENT
    It is well known that behind ever success there stands
    some person other than that has success. I believe that
    we have succeeded in completion of my project report,
    but I am thankful to all those persons who have directly or
    indirectly supported and helped me in completion of my
    project. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude and
    special thanks to my teacher Mr. Ajit Kumar as well as our
    principal Mr. Rajeev Kumar who gave me the golden
    opportunity to do this wonderful project on the topic “2D
    COLLISON OF TWO BALLS’’ which also helped me in doing
    a lot of research and I came to know about so many
    things. I am really thankful to them. Secondly, I would also
    like to thank my parents a who helped me a lot in finishing

    this project within the limited time

    AIM
    To study the collision of two balls in
    two dimensions .
    APPARATUS
    1.Apparatus for collision in two dimensions,
    2. Meter scale
    3.Tracing paper
    4. Carbon paper
    5.G-clamp
    6.A screw
    7. Cello tape
    8.Two identical steel spheres
    THEORY
    When two steel spheres of mass m and m′ moving with
    velocities u and u′ respectively collide, their velocities
    change after collision. If their velocities after collision are
    v and v′′′ respectively, then according to the law of
    conservation of momentum mu + mu′ = mv + mv′ In this
    Activity, we study collision of two balls in two dimensions
    using the apparatus described above and verify the law of
    conservation of Momentum in two dimensions. We allow
    one steel ball to roll down the ramp and collide with a
    target ball (at rest) placed at the lower end of the ramp.
    For simplicity, we take two identical balls. After collision
    the two balls moving in different directions fall down and
    strike the ground. The horizontal velocity of each sphere is
    proportional to the horizontal distance travelled by each
    sphere. The horizontal distance is the distance from point
    on the floor just below the initial position of the stationary
    ball to the point where it lands. This same horizontal
    distance can also be used to represent the magnitude of
    the momentum of each ball as they have the same mass
    PROCEDURE
    1. Arrange the apparatus as shown in. Adjust the set screw so that the depression in it is
    directly in front of the groove and about one radius of the steel ball away from the groove
    end. Roll a steel ball down the ramp and adjust the set screw by moving upward/downward
    so that the ball just clears it as it falls freely Place the target ball on the depression in the
    screw. Suspend the plumb line with it.
    2. Next adjust the position of the set screw so that the bullet ball will collide with the target
    ball at an angle. Mark the incident and target balls as 1 and 2. Ensure that the two balls are
    exactly at the same height from the floor at the time of collision.
    3. Spread on the floor a large sheet of tracing paper on a similar sized carbon paper. The
    steel balls would be falling on this combination to make their imprints. In case large sheets
    of carbon paper or plain paper are not available tape together their piece(A-4 size) to make
    a large sheet.
    4. Put the carbon paper on the floor, with its inked side facing up. Place the tracing paper
    directly over it. Place the sheets such that the centre of one end of the paper lies just below
    the plumb line.
    5. Without placing a target ball on the set screw, roll the ball marked1. Mark the point on
    the tracing paper where the ball lands (P0).Repeat it several times and mark the cluster P0
    1, P0 2, P0 3etc. ...Find the centre of the cluster and mark it P0.
    6. Using identical steel ball (2) to act as a target ball, try a few collisions. Ensuring that the
    incident ball (1) is always release from the same height. Circle and label the clusters of
    points where the incident ball and the target ball hit the paper.(You can find the centre of
    cluster points, by drawing a quadrilateral and intersecting diagonals to find the location of
    mean point.)
    7. Mark point ‘O’ on the paper where the plumb line touches the paper. Draw vectors from
    the point O to the mean point P0, P1 and P2.
    8. (a) Add the two vectors OP1 and OP2 representing momentum of the incident ball and
    target ball to determine the total momentum P after the collision (b) Relate the total
    momentum P after the collision with the initial momentum of the incident ball represented
    by vector OP(0) and the target ball.
    CONCLUSION
    The total momentum of the two ball after
    collision is ..... g cms–1 which is almost equal to
    the initial momentum of the incident ball
