This let's you do a variety of experiments with a frictionless
"puck table." You can adjust the intial velocity and direction
of the pucks, and make a variety of selections including magnetic
pucks, a tilted table, inelastic collision (including rotational
motion), and viewing of the center of mass.
The spark generator gives you a snapshot of where things are at
given time intervals. I will certainly get some real documentation
up for this one as soon as I can, since this experiment can be
used to simulate a tremendously large variety of physics. By looking
at the spark tracks you can determine the velocity and acceleration
of the pucks under a variety of conditions.
