MOMENTUM AND NEWTON'S SECOND LAW F = ma where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a is its acceleration,

states that the acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. Although the second law is usually written in this form it is not the form that Newton originally used in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) nor can it be used in situations where the mass of the object may be changing. The original form terms of momentum is expressed by F = dp/dt where F is the force, dp is the change in momentum and dt is the time interval. Although Newton second law said motion in terms of momentum rather than acceleration there was no mention of the rate of change of momentum. 1) Discuss the graph. Graph shown that all type of plates give a same resultant , the Impact of force constantly to the momentum . Otherwise Impact force also are related to the momentum value by Newtons law F =dp / dt which, dp is change in momentum.

As a conclusion, the experiment that have been carried out were successful, even though the data collected are a little bit difference compared to the theoretical value. The difference between the theoretical value and the actual value may mainly due to human and servicing factors such as parallax error. This error occur during observer captured the value of the water level. Besides that, error may occur during adjusting the level gauge to point at the white line on the side of the weight pan. Other than that, it also maybe because of the water valve. This error may occur because the water valve was not completely close during collecting the water. This may affect the time taken for the water to be collected. There are a lot of possibilities for the experiment will having an error. Therefore, the recommendation to overcome the error is ensure that the position of the observers eye must be 90 perpendicular to the reading or the position. Then, ensure that the apparatus functioning perfectly in order to get an accurate result.
