    Abstract: A ball collision demonstration device includes a base, and first and second support assemblies carried by the base. The first and second support assemblies are spaced-apart and angled away from each other so that a separation distance at adjacent ends is greater then a separation distance at medial portions of the first and second support assemblies. The device further includes balls, and a respective pair of flexible lines coupled between the first and second support assemblies and each ball. The balls are suspended in a horizontal line parallel to the base. The respective pairs of flexible lines have, from the medial portions towards the adjacent ends of the first and second support assemblies, increasing line lengths and increasing separation distances between each pair.
