Momentum in a Collision: Making Connections

---

You will use a NetLogo model to analyze the effects of car mass, car speed, %elasticity, and time of collision on the impulse and acceleration experienced by the cars in a 1-Dimensional collision.

You will also alter those variables to determine the maximum impulse and g's of acceleration that can be experienced in a collision given the limits on the variable values provided here.

Finally you will determine the effect of time of collision on the g's of acceleration experienced by an individual car.
