In this simulation we explore the behavior of two masses which collide elastically in order to investigate the properties of a perfectly elastic collision. For this simulation you adjusted the mass of the first object m1=2, the velocity of the first object v1=10, the mass of the second object m2=2 and the velocity of the second object v2=-10. Note that once you start the simulation running you can only change the control by resetting the simulation which will erase all the current graphs. Run the simulation at least three times using different settings for the various slider bars and observe what happens on the graph of momentum. (a) What about the collision is the same each time you run the simulation
