Tomorrow's lab

Tomorrow, we'll do one more 'regular' lab before starting with the rocket launchers. The main point is to learn how to use photogates for timing, which will be useful for characterizing your launchers. A secondary point is to verify conservation of momentum in 1D collisions.

Also: the rocket launchers just arrived yesterday, so tomorrow I'll show you what they look like and how they work. We'll need a couple of days to install the right software on the lab computers, but either this Friday or next Monday we'll get started with them.
