Collisions: Crash Course Physics #10
Get Your Crash Course Physics Mug here: http://store.dftba.com/products/crashcourse-physics-mug COLLISIONS! A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same....
==========
You and I have explored the rules that govern lots of different moving objects so far. But physics isn’t just about dragging blocks up inclines, or astronauts floating in Vomit Comets. There are also ... collisions! And physics has a lot to say about collisions -- whether it’s two billiard balls knocking against each other, or what happens when you fail at a Super Mario level for the 47th time and throw your controller at the floor. Stupid lava sticks! To figure out what’s happening when objects collide, we’ll have to take into account two main qualities: momentum and impulse. We’ll also discuss what physicists mean when they talk about center of mass, and why that’s important. And we’ll have our old friend Isaac Newton to help us out along ...
