Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We present a multiple-collision apparatus, based on low-cost and easy-To-find materials, which offers the opportunity to plan and conduct a sequence of experimental activities aimed at studying, in a very simple way, the energy transfer in multiple collisions. Our apparatus is based on the use of everyday objects such as toys, which stimulate students' interest by creating a familiar learning context. Two significant experiments on multiple collisions are described and the analyses of the corresponding experimental results are discussed. The first experiment makes it possible to analyze the kinetic energy transfer along a chain of adjacent balls. The second experiment offers the opportunity to give an analogical conceptual illustration of the bounce of a supernova core after gravitational collapse. Each experiment is pedagogically introduced by asking students to answer an appropriate stimulus questions, which were identified by instructors in a preliminary brainstorm session with students. Last, a theoretical model is given for kinetic energy transfer along a chain of balls and the experimental results are compared with the model predictions.
