Additional question: What is the percentage error of the initial velocity calculated using momentum and kinematics? Percentage error between theoretical initial velocity and experimental initial velocity? How much energy is lost? note: the initial velocity calculated using kinematics…

through all of these categories I find that there is a universal trend with all of them. Each and every one of these categories is connected to one another.
