Collisions in One Dimension
Elastic and inelastic collisions are performed with two dynamics carts of different masses. Magnetic bumpers are used in the elastic collision and Velcro® bumpers are used in the completely inelastic collision. Both the momentum and kinetic energy are examined before and after the collisions.
