Systemic error (track bowing) (20p): you may have found that you couldn't perfectly level the air track: if it was level in one place, it was not quite level in another. this is because the air tracks are supported on the ends, and over time, the air track becomes bowed: the middle of the air track sags a bit. recall that we usually level the air track so that it's flat in the middle (thus higher on the ends), and discuss this impact as a systemic error: what impacts would it have on the conservation of momentum? of energy? what if we ran a slightly different experiment, with a more head-on collision instead of one cart stationary in the center?
