Peer reviewedPoultney, Sherman K. – American Journal of Physics, 1971
Describes a laboratory activity about measurement and its reliability for general education students. The measurement focuses on automobile speeds and allows for estimates of errors, experimental design, and relativity in addition to kinematical concepts. (DS)

Peer reviewedWalkiewicz, T. A.; Newby, N. D., Jr. – American Journal of Physics, 1972
A discussion of linear collisions between two or three objects is related to a junior-level course in analytical mechanics. The theoretical discussion uses a geometrical approach that treats elastic and inelastic collisions from a unified point of view. Experiments with a linear air track are described. (Author/TS)
