As with any other sport, it is interesting to study and apply simple and complex notions of physics in tennis. Concepts such as moments of inertia, elastic collisions and momentum are a constant part ...

Segment 4C: Collisions We differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions Segment 4C: Collisions In this segment, we differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions. The conservation of ...

The quantum nature of interactions between elementary particles allows drawing non-trivial conclusions even from processes as simple as elastic scattering. The ATLAS experiment at the LHC accelerator ...

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have spotted water jets erupting from Europa – one of Jupiter’s 67 moons. The plumes rise around 200 km above the surface of Europa, which is slightly ...

Protons accelerated almost to the speed of light can collide similarly to billiard balls. However, since protons are quantum particles, from measuring such collisions we can learn unobvious things ...

The game of billiards is an ideal sport to be tested with physics and mathematics. In many universities, professors use this game to explain some concepts about physics. The theory of rebounds and ...

Place the carts in the desired configuration. Magnets face each other for elastic collisions. Velcro sides face each other for completely inelastic collisions. A magnet side faces a velcro side for ...
