About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models one-dimensional collisions between objects, allowing students to observe momentum conservation and energy transformation in real-time. Learners can adjust collision parameters, compare elastic and inelastic scenarios, and witness how mass and velocity affect collision outcomes and post-collision behaviour.

Learning objectives: Understand and verify the law of conservation of momentum in collisions | Distinguish between elastic and inelastic collisions through observable energy changes | Predict and analyse collision outcomes by manipulating mass and velocity variables
