D3-41: AIR TABLE - RECTANGULAR PUCK COLLISIONS
- ID Code: D3-41
- Purpose: Qualitatively show conservation of angular momentum in collisions of a circular puck with a rectangular puck.
- Description:
Show how linear and angular momentum are transferred between a small puck and the rectangular bar when the puck strikes the bar at various points along its length and/or at varying angles. Inelastic collisions can also be demonstrated using a puck with a velcro collar.
