I use some home made photogates with vernier software and air tracks to
measure momenta before and after inelastic collisions.  I found that I
got the best results when 0.5M collided into 1.0M and the worst results
when the two carts had the same mass.  My worst results have about a 20%
error and my best results run around 2 or 3%.
