In this podcast, we show the ``behind the scenes'' action while filming footage for the podcasts.  This is why it is not safe to play with matches.

This week we talk about the behavior of the center of mass for a system consisting of two objects of unequal mass!  A spring will act on the two masses and we will plot the results of the motion using Logger Pro.  The specific results vary from the previous podcast, but the general results are the same.

Two Masses (Not Equal) and Their Center of Mass Motion.
