Conservation of Momentum Simulation

Explore 1D elastic and inelastic collisions. Adjust masses and velocities to observe the conservation of momentum and changes in kinetic energy.

Simulation Controls

Mass (kg): 1.0

Initial Velocity (m/s): 2.0

Mass (kg): 1.5

Initial Velocity (m/s): -1.0

Elasticity (e): 1.0

1.0 = Elastic, 0.0 = Perfectly Inelastic
