Coasting


When the American Physical Society meets annually, it's not all papers, debates, and slideshows.  The conference includes segments for realtime experimentation, discovery, and innovation.  Recently they endeavored to gain a better understanding of kinetic energy, momentum as the product of mass and velocity (and later its derivative -- acceleration), friction, the influence of gravity, and sudden deceleration.  Ultimately, this research benefits all of mankind.
