A fully functioning virtual version of a classic physics lab apparatus: Momentum. This app can be used to study momentum, collisions, energy, and more. Use it as a lab replacement in the classroom, as a demonstration tool, as a study aid for homework, or just for exploration.

This apparatus is just like the real thing, with a few added benefits. Two carts on a frictionless track can be manually moved or shot together with launchers. Various masses can be added to both, and the collision point can be switched between a bouncing plunger or a sticky velcro pad. All the while, a sensor can be used to track the position vs. time of each cart, and their positions are mapped in real-time on a graph. Copy the data to a clipboard to use for further analysis.
