Exploring Collisions in Physics
Explore how simulations are used in research by creating your own elastic collision simulation! Students use JavaScript graphics to create objects on a canvas and then apply conservation of momentum and kinetic energy equations to study how mass and speed affect the final speeds of each object. |
