Linear Collisions
Walkiewicz, T. A.; Newby, N. D., Jr.
American Journal of Physics, 40, 1, 133-137, Jan 72
A discussion of linear collisions between two or three objects is related to a junior-level course in analytical mechanics. The theoretical discussion uses a geometrical approach that treats elastic and inelastic collisions from a unified point of view. Experiments with a linear air track are described. (Author/TS)
