Season 1
The relationship between different variable quantities when objects collide enables us to predict their behaviour. This clip looks at quantities including work, force, distance, mass, velocity and kinetic energy.
Newton's three laws of motion are fundamental to many aspects of physics, including collisions. This clip covers the laws, explaining each and looking at how they apply to different examples of collisions.
Calculating scalar and vector quantities is vital to understanding collisions. Using tennis court action, this clip examines various quantities including initial and final velocity, displacement, acceleration and time.
This clip features many examples of collisions, and examines how applying Newton's Laws of Motion, principles of energy and measuring variable quantities enable us to understand and predict the behaviour of colliding objects.
