Elastic Collisions: Chariot and Wall

Description

This lecture covers the model of an elastic collision between a cart and a wall, analyzing the time interval the spring remains in contact with the obstacle, the maximum compression of the spring, and the maximum force exerted. It also explores the conservation of mechanical energy, momentum expressions, and Newton's second law during the collision.
