Sticky Collisions





















Today my brother and I were playing football in our backyard. While I was getting tackled I realized that physics was taking place as I was thrown to the ground. What had occured during the tackle was a sticky collison. Before the tackle my brother and I had seperated masses and velocities of our own. But as he tackled me we had a combined mass and a final velocity. Luckily my mom was able to capture this beautiful physics taking place at our very home. I glad it did not rain today.
