Collisions in One Dimension: Collision Balls

Instructions / Notes:

• Observe the effects of displacing different numbers of balls. Try one ball first, then two and so on up to five balls at once.
• If this does not work well, there may be a misalignment problem. First check that the wires are hanging straight, then try adjusting the length.
