Today, you will be looking at two simulations.  First, go to

http://www.squadron13.com/games/collision/collision.htm 

Try

• head on collisions
• glancing blows, 
• a collision between a heavy ball and a heavy ball, 
• a collision between heavy ball and a light ball, 
• a collision between two balls of medium mass.

For each one of these, describe what happens BEFORE and AFTER the collision by writing a sentence and making a diagram.  Each person should do this individually.  

========

Next, go to http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/momentum/u4l1b.cfm  and work through problems 1 through 7 at the bottom of the page.  The answer is listed, but I want to see your diagram of BEFORE and AFTER, as well as your work.  Each person should do this individually.  

Tomorrow, we will be trying to collect information on IMPULSE using the pool tables.  What is the critical information to know.

Hand in your work at the end of the hour.
