Inelastic Collison VS. ElasticInelastic Collison VS. Elastic►First collision shows a elastic collisionFirst collision shows a elastic collision
Ping pong ball stops, golf ball movesPing pong ball stops, golf ball moves►Second collision shows an inelastic Second collision shows an inelastic
collisioncollision Golf ball is now connected to the Golf ball is now connected to the
pendulumpendulum
Potential and Kinetic EnergyPotential and Kinetic Energy Project obviously does not function without Project obviously does not function without
some kind of potential energysome kind of potential energy By having potential energy we have a means By having potential energy we have a means
of transferring it into kinetic energy which will of transferring it into kinetic energy which will accomplish the task at handaccomplish the task at hand
