In this video, we break down the physics behind clay pendulum balls and their collisions. Learn about momentum, energy transfer, and how these simple systems can explain key concepts in ...

Segment 4C: Collisions We differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions Segment 4C: Collisions In this segment, we differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions. The conservation of ...

Introduction Did it ever occur to you that tennis, bowling and shopping carts bumping into each other all involve collisions? It is fascinating how just a few rules of physics can predict the outcome ...

Newton's cradle is a fabulous toy. In case you aren't familiar with this device, it usually consists of five hanging metal balls that all line up horizontally. If you pull back a ball on one end and ...

In a paper in Nature, the ALICE Collaboration 1 reports that data from high-energy collisions between protons can be used to investigate the little-understood nuclear forces between protons and ...
