Collisions occur around us constantly. To know how objects behave when they collide, an understanding of some important concepts of physics is needed. This clip features many examples of collisions and examines how applying Newton’s Laws of Motion and principles of energy as well as measuring variable quantities enable us to understand and predict the behavior of colliding objects. It is an ideal resource for senior-level physics students.
