An Intuitive Physics Study on the Role of Mass in Horizontal Collisions
Vicovaro, Michele
Burigana, Luigi
2014
Abstract
The participants in our experiment were asked to judge
whether simulated horizontal collisions appeared to be
“natural” or “unnatural”. We manipulated the simulated
materials and the velocity ratio of two colliding objects. The
results revealed a fair degree of consistency between
predictions of Newtonian mechanics and the participants’
responses.
