Abstract
Elastic collision between two bodies in slow motion through the proper choice of the experimental conditions. It will be shown that during the collision the kinetic energy is briefly converted into potential energy and then back into kinetic energy. The slow collision, achieved through the proper choice of masses and spring constants, demonstrates clearly the transformation from kinetic to potential energy, and back again, as is characteristic for elastic collisions. This experiment also demonstrates the conservation of linear momentum.
