Elastic Collisions in Two Dimensions - Preview 1

This is a free, three slide preview of my full PowerPoint presentation for “Elastic Collisions in Two Dimensions”.

This preview is an editable PowerPoint presentation containing an example of two spheres colliding, and concludes with an animation of the collision.

The full 19 slide presentation covers the content required for the A-Level mathematics topic “Elastic Collisions in Two Dimensions”.

I developed it in order to teach the topic to my students.

The content is based on the Edexcel FM1 specification, and chapter 5 of the Edexcel FM1 textbook.

I have used PowerPoint’s animation effects extensively.

All slides use the “appear” animation to build up the content in a clear, meaningful manner. I also used the “zoom”, “free motion” and “fade” animations to bring the material to life for my students.

I have included extensive teacher notes with each slide.

The slides contain all the required theory, and detailed, worked examples for each of the three sections:

• Oblique Impacts with a Fixed Surface

• Successive Oblique Impacts

• Oblique Impacts of Smooth Spheres

Most examples are either fully original or extensively adapted/ modified from examples within the Edexcel textbook.

I hope you find the PowerPoint presentation useful in your teaching practice.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any feedback.
