Wrecking ball: energy of motion
A heavy ball on a rod swings down and smashes a brick wall. An energy and momentum experiment for kids 7+.
Interactive experiments for kids, students and teachers. Run each one right on the page, then open a copy in the Tymora editor and change mass, friction, elasticity or gravity. Every experiment comes with discussion questions and a version to try at home.
A heavy ball on a rod swings down and smashes a brick wall. An energy and momentum experiment for kids 7+.
Three identical swings: no pushes, pushes along the motion and pushes against it. Rules push the seat as it passes the lowest point.
One project, 20 frames, each with the Tymora logo and its own physics: Moon, zero gravity, ice, pendulum, spring, water, dominoes and more.
