Texas Gateway: Collisions of Point Masses in Two Dimensions
By the end of this section, you will be able to discuss two-dimensional collisions as an extension of one-dimensional analysis, define point masses, derive an expression for conservation of momentum along the x-axis and y-axis, describe...
TeachEngineering
Teach Engineering: A Place in Space
The students will use a "real" 3D coordinate system. They will have 3 axes at right angles, and a plane (the XY plane) that will be able to slide up and down the Z axis. The students will then be given several coordinates and asked to...
