000 ms
millisecond timer
After a trolley is released, it accelerates down a slope and bounces off a rigid wall
The speed of a trolley can be measured just before a collision with the wall and just after a collision with the wall.
The silver foils are connected to a millisecond timer.
The silver foils make contact with each other during the collision, so the time they are in contact can be read from the millisecond timer.
Explain how the student could investigate the effect of a crumple zone on the average force exerted during the collision.
Your explanation should include:
how to determine the force (you may wish to refer to an equation) how the effect of crumple zones may be shown in the investigation precautions that may be necessary to achieve accurate results.
