Collisions Simulations/Animation Applets

http://zebu.uoregon.edu/nsf/mo.html is a nice and simple (clean) 1-D introduction to this topic, with http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/java/collision1D/collision1D.html introducing the coefficient of restitution and c.m./lab frames. Collision details in two dimension (reference frames, impact parameters) are explored at http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/classes/109N/more_stuff/Applets/Collision/applet.html and http://www.scar.utoronto.ca/~pat/fun/fun.html.

Suggested by: E. Fooks and C. Olszewski

Compelling and popular animated basic tutorials of energy conservation and momenta suitable for enrichment, in-class projection, or as absence makeup/review are found at http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/momentum/cba.html and http://library.thinkquest.org/3042/.

Popular topical sites on energy and power include the physics of archery sites http://www.stortford-archers.org.uk/medieval.htm, http://mrfizzix.com/archery/, and http://www.student.utwente.nl/%7Esagi/artikel/. Another pair of sites discusses sport/biological mechanical energy, power, and work—a set of lecture notes at http://www.nu.ac.za/physics/1M2002/Energy%20work%20and%20power.htm (includes the infamous running-up-the-stairs activity and a nice discussion of metabolism) and the physics of body building/weight lifting site at http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/becker2.htm provide more athletically relevant analyses.
