PY105 pre-class video for session 22 - combining momentum and energy

By: aduffy (75) in faculty

In this video, we complete our first look at the conservation laws, examining situations in which [...]both momentum conservation and energy conservation can be applied (although not necessarily applied at the same time). The video starts with a review of how we classify collisions, and then goes through an analysis of a classic demonstration, dropping a baseball (although a tennis ball is safer!) on top of a basketball.
