Collisions Demo: Two Carts

This is a demonstration of elastic and perfectly inelastic collisions, using two carts on a track.
This demonstration was created at Utah State University by Professor Boyd F. Edwards, assisted by James Coburn (demonstration specialist), David Evans (videography), and Rebecca Whitney (closed captions), with support from Jan Sojka, Physics Department Head, and Robert Wagner, Executive Vice Provost and Dean of Academic and Instructional Services.

Really gave me confidence to clearly distinguish between the three types of collisions...Now, I no more need 2 minutes of time during an exam to figure out what X/Y/Z collision is and etcetera..
Lucid and well-explained demonstration..
Thanks sir!

Now you got 1 more sub 😀

[@mengjoneville3357]

This is so nice and practical you know. I really appreciate the knowledge. Thank you so much Prof.

[@dibakarpal2020]

Thank you sir for this beautiful demonstration

[@gracepancalstatela4422]

Can I use this for my students? We all are quarantined in houses. Your demonstration can help them understand the concept. Thanks!

[@physicsdemos]

Sure!

[@gracepancalstatela4422]

Physics Demos Thank you so much!

[@sandeep_aln]

Thank you..

[@samanthac5275]

@Anders Duncan why did you do that

[@babayada2015]

Holy moly!
It's been 2 years since pandemic started!
Time sure flies

[@rjmurphyo0]

thanks I'm taking conceptual physics and this helped me understand what is going on

[@shivamsahu9742]

beautifully done.

[@chiragsaxena1519]

Thanks for such amazing video........

[@sathvikmalgikar2842]

Amazing sir brilliantly planned

[@Paillaabhishek]

Thank you very much sir physics is love 💖 so I understood the concept very well continue like this only sir.

Thankyou sir😇

Where do you buy a kit like this? I have found others, but I really like this one.

[@PassportReasons]

I have a question, sometimes I notice objects "bouncing off" of one another. And I have been under the impression when objects hit one another, some of the energy of the moving object is reflected back on it. "Equal and opposite reaction", yet I see your experiment and I am not observing that. Why?

Love u sir

hes having os much fun XD

شكراً شرح رائع

Nice🙂

Dear Professor,
There is a question which is iching my taught since many days, that why speed of sound is constant??? Even though sound propagate by means of elastic collisions between molicules, speed of sound should depend upon the speed of molecules near the source of sound.

[@arnavsinha834]

Hey! As a physics student I would like to tell you speed of sound is NOT constant! Speed of sound is faster in water than in air! This is why some sea creatures can talk over long distances under water. Speed of sound varies in different mediums, just like light.

[@madmedicos3759]

i think you mixed up your concept with speed of light which is constant

[@arnavsinha834]

@@madmedicos3759 speed of light aint constant either. Its only "c" in vaccum,

[@madmedicos3759]

@@arnavsinha834 what are you saying bro? isn't it constant in all medium??

[@arnavsinha834]

@@madmedicos3759 speed of light changes when its in water, glass, or air. Its called refractive index of that material. Its what bends light.

It’s strange to use magnets to create perfectly elastic 💥 collisions
