Based on the given data, the total initial momentum is -0.76 kg*m/s while the total final momentum is 0.24 kg*m/s.
From this comparison, it can be observed that the total momentum has increased from the initial to the final state. The initial momentum is negative, indicating a motion in the opposite direction to the chosen positive direction, while the final momentum is positive, indicating a motion in the positive direction. The magnitude of the change in momentum is 1 kg*m/s (+0.24 - -0.76).
Look at your data from Experiment 3, how do the Total Momentum values for initial and final compare?
Total Initial Momentum = -0.76 kg*m/s
Total Final Momentum = 0.24 kg*m/s
