Momentum Conservation & Collisions
by Anonymous
Momentum p = mv is built by changing mass and speed, and sliding the coefficient of restitution from 0 to 1 shows that total momentum stays the same whether bodies stick or bounce.

About this app
Momentum Conservation & Collisions is an interactive high school physics learning app about momentum, elastic collisions, and the coefficient of restitution. Adjust mass, velocity, and restitution values with step controls, then observe calculated momentum and collision outcomes before and after impact. Mission-based activities guide learners through p=mv, equal and unequal masses, negative velocity, and collision behavior from perfectly inelastic to perfectly elastic.
Use cases
- High school students learning momentum and collisions
- Teachers demonstrating p=mv with interactive examples
- Physics classes exploring elastic collision calculations
- Learners comparing collision outcomes at different restitution values
Features
- Adjust mass and velocity to calculate momentum using p=mv
- Explore perfectly elastic collisions with a moving ball and stationary target
- Compare pre-collision and post-collision velocities
- Set restitution from 0 to 1 to observe sticking and bouncing behavior
- Complete guided missions for momentum and collision concepts
