1N40.10shooting pool9-5.1A framework allows a billiard ball pendulum to strike another on an adjustable tee.
1N40.11orthogonal hammers6-4.6Identical hammers hung at right angles hit a ball.
1N40.12shooting pool9-5.9An apparatus for recording collisions between ceiling mounted duckpin ball (5" dia.) and bowling ball (8 1/2" dia.).
1N40.13shooting pool on the overheadTPT 2(6),278Ink coated balls roll down chutes onto a stage placed on the overhead projector.
1N40.14shooting poolAJP 31(3),197A pool shooting box with a soapy glass surface and plans for a ball shooter.
1N40.16shadow project collisionsAJP 29(9),636Vertically shadow project two dimensional collisions onto the floor. Much Discussion.
1N40.18photograph golf ball collisionsAJP 30(7),530Suspend two golf balls from a ring that mounts on the camera lens and do a time lapse photo of the collision after one is pulled to the side and released.
1N40.18photograph golf ball collisions9-5.14The collision of two suspended golf balls is photographed.
1N40.20air table collisions - equal massPIRA 500
1N40.20air table collisions1N40.20
1N40.20air table collisions (equal mass)Disc 05-06Vary the angle of impact between a moving and stationary air puck. Lines are drawn on the screen.
1N40.21air table collisions - unequal massPIRA 1000
1N40.21air table collisionsM-15dUse dry ice pucks to do two dimensional collisions.
1N40.21air table collisions (unequal mass)Disc 05-07Elastic collisions with unequal air pucks.
1N40.22air table collisions - inelasticPIRA 1000
1N40.22air table collisions (inelastic)Disc 05-08Inelastic collisions between equal and unequal mass air pucks.
1N40.24air table collisions by videoTPT 10(6),344Use a video tape of the collision to obtain data.
1N40.24air table collisions10-3.4Use a spark timer to record collisions on an air table.
1N40.24air puck collisions10-2.3The path left by liquid air pucks on a table sprinkled with lycopodium powder show the 90 degree scattering law for particles of equal masses. Also a neutron diffusion demo. Construction details in appendix, p.570.
1N40.24air table collisions10-2.4Dry ice pucks with spark timer recording.
1N40.24air table collisions photoM-15f.1Use strobe photography to record air table collisions.
1N40.25lost momentumAJP 56(5),473The air pucks are modified so the line of force during the collision passes through the center of mass.
1N40.30nine-ball on the overhead, etcTPT 22(4),258collisions with an array of three by three balls on the overhead projector. Also a four-ball two-dimensional coupled pendula suspension.
1N40.40focusing collisionsAJP 48(6),496Balls are suspended from one string and spaced at a distance of 3r. Depending on the angle the collision is initiated, the collisions will either focus or defocus.
1N40.60bouncing ball simulationAJP 37(10),1008An analog computer (circuit given) shows the path of a bouncing ball on an oscilloscope.
1N40.60super ball bouncingAJP 37(1),88Analysis of the trajectory of a super ball from the floor to the underside of a table and back to the hand.
1N40.90computer collisionsAJP 52(7),619A FORTRAN program for collisions on a Tektronix 4012 graphics terminal and Honeywell DPS8 computer.
