Describe Air Traffic Collision in details -The air track is also used to study of collisions, both elastic & inelastic. Since there is very minimum amount of energy lost through friction its easy to demonstrate how momentum is conserved before & after a collision. The track can be used to compute the force of gravity when placed at an certain angle.

Three different profi les for collision will be investigated in this experiment.

Collision I:Place one of the gliders at rest in the middle of the air track. Give the other glider an initial velocity toward the stationary glider.

Collision II:Start both gliders at one end of the track. Give the first glider a slow velocity and the second glider a faster speed so that the second glider catches the first glider.

Collision III:Start both gliders at opposite ends of the track toward each other.
