Description: Various collisions demonstrated between two dry-ice pucks. Cylindrical magnets mounted on the pucks produce a repelling force. Measurements of the kinetic energy of the pucks during an interaction lead to the concept of stored or potential energy., Illustrates how kinetic energy is transferred from one body to another through elastic collisions. Explains formulas for calculating the exchange of energy. Defines concepts concerning stored energy, elastic collision, and potential energy.
