Physics Problem: Colliding Clay Pendulum Balls
Offered By: Dot Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a challenging physics problem involving colliding clay pendulum balls in this 13-minute video from Dot Physics. Dive into the concepts of linear momentum, conservation of energy, and inelastic collisions as you work through a problem from Giambattista College Physics 5th edition. Learn how to calculate the maximum height attained by two pendulum bobs after they collide and stick together, given their different masses and initial conditions. The video also includes a second part that demonstrates how to model this problem using Python, providing valuable insights into computational physics applications.
