Physics Explanation

This simulation demonstrates an elastic collision between two pendulum bobs of equal mass:

• When released, bob A swings down under gravity
• At the bottom, it collides elastically with stationary bob B
• In a perfectly elastic collision of equal masses, bob A transfers all its momentum to bob B
• Bob A comes to rest while bob B moves away with bob A's original velocity

Try different angles and lengths to observe how the collision behavior remains consistent!
