The Physics Classroom: Momentum and Collisions: Collision Carts Activity 1

Curated by ACT

A virtual collision track with colliding or exploding carts allows students to explore elastic and inelastic collisions. They can vary the mass of the two carts and their pre-collision velocities. An accompanying activity sheet which focuses on inelastic collisions, utilizes a before- and after-collision momentum table to assist students in organizing their calculated data.
