Boston University Physics Easy Java Simulation: Collisions in One Dimension

Detail Page «

Website Detail Page

written by Andrew Duffy

In this interactive simulation, students collide two balls traveling along a line to investigate whether momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in the collision. Values for mass, initial velocity, and elasticity can be controlled by sliders. Students must calculate and enter the momentum and kinetic energy of each ball after the collision. Answers may be checked for immediate feedback.

This applet was created with EJS, Easy Java Simulations, a modeling tool that allows users without formal programming experience to generate computer models and simulations.
