Why shouldn't you "crash your gliders together with gusto"? 4. What is the last thing you do before you leave the lab? 5. How do you get a velocity vs. time graph to appear if you have a position vs. time graph on the screen? 6. What is the glider? 7. What are the magnets on the gliders for? 8. What does the "Fit" icon look like? 9. Why is Dv1/Dv2 = m2/m1 more realistic for this experiment than a1/a2 = m2/m1 (a short answer will do!). 10. What does the "RB" in the RB-bumper stand for?
