Collision in Two Dimensions, Each

Details

This apparatus enables students to explore the conservation of momentum and changes in kinetic energy during collisions, as well as compare elastic and inelastic collisions. A flat base supports a curved aluminum track and an adjustable target support. The kit includes two steel balls, a glass ball, a hollow wooden ball, and a plumb line. The built-in table clamp can accommodate tables with edges up to 3.5 cm thick. It includes an activity guide.
