  2. Tests of relativistic energy and momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_relativistic...

    But those tests demonstrate the relativistic expressions in an indirect way, since many other effects have to be considered in order to evaluate the deflection curve, velocity, and momentum. So an experiment specifically aimed at demonstrating the relativistic effects in a very direct way was conducted by William Bertozzi (1962, 1964). [11] [12]

  3. Newton's cradle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_cradle

    To explain the difference between theory and experiment, the two striking balls must have at least ≈ 10 μm separation (given steel, 100 g, and 1 m/s). This shows that in the common case of steel balls, unnoticed separations can be important and must be included in the Hertzian differential equations, or the simple solution gives a more ...

  4. Kinematically complete experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematically_complete...

    The first kinematically complete experiment on single ionization by ion impact was performed by momentum analyzing the recoil ions and the ejected electrons. [3] For proton impact at much smaller energy kinematically complete experiments were also performed by momentum-analyzing the scattered projectiles and the recoil ions. [ 4 ]

  6. Experimental testing of time dilation - Wikipedia

    Rossi and Hall confirmed the formulas for relativistic momentum and time dilation in a qualitative manner. Knowing the momentum and lifetime of moving muons enabled them to compute their mean proper lifetime too – they obtained ≈ 2.4 μs (modern experiments improved this result to ≈ 2.2 μs).

  7. Galilean cannon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_cannon

    A Galilean cannon with proportions similar to the Astro Blaster. A Galilean cannon is a device that demonstrates conservation of linear momentum. [1] It comprises a stack of balls, starting with a large, heavy ball at the base of the stack and progresses up to a small, lightweight ball at the top.

  9. Fixed-target experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-target_experiment

    The energy involved in a fixed target experiment is 4 times smaller compared to that in collider with the dual beams of same energy. [5] [6] More over in collider experiments energy of two beams is available to produce new particles, while in fixed target case a lot of energy is just expended in giving velocities to the newly created particles.
