Get your game from miniclip.com or candystand.com Remember, the goal is not to WIN the game; rather, it is to get TWO examples of momentum.
Use a screen capture utility of your choice to capture the video. I use Quick Screen Recorder

Analyze the video. Calculate the momentum before the collision, and the momentum AFTER the collision for the two sources. Repeat for the second momentum event.
Create an INDIVIDUAL lab report that answers the question: Are computer games realistic examples of physics? Include your data, sketches as necessary, and any oddities you find. Also include any assumptions you made and a mathematical example of the calculations you did.
Write a conclusion that indicates your understanding of the following: inelastic collisions, elastic collisions, impulse, one-dimensional momentum, two-dimensional momentum, and the law of conservation of momentum.
