  • To study collisions, a simulation was designed to show the collision between a moving baseball and a stationary bat.
  • An investigation report of a car accident  that includes data of the vehicles involved.
  • A roller coaster, with its passengers, starts from rest on a friction-less track.
  • Consider a friction-less track and mass 1 collides with mass 2.
  • Consider a compressed spring and used to launch a physics student up a ramp.
