Season 1
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.
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.
