For beginning learners, we recommend this student guide, developed by HS teacher Chris Bires to accompany Collisions in 1D: One really nice feature is the ability to vary the elasticity to see how this factor affects changes in mechanical energy. The simpler 1D simulation allows beginners to explore what "elasticity" means, while the 2D sim lets them apply the Law of Conservation of Momentum to solve problems. You can experiment with the number of discs, masses, and initial conditions. Investigate simple collisions in one dimension or more complex collisions.
