Lesson 3.6 Elastic Collisions

Description

Students will use conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy equations to control the final speed of each object in an elastic collision.


Objective

Students will be able to manipulate conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy equations to control the final speeds of both objects in order to create a realistic elastic collision simulation.
