  2. Elastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision

    After collision Ball A: velocity = −1 m/s Ball B: velocity = 3 m/s. Another situation: Elastic collision of unequal masses. The following illustrate the case of equal mass, =. Elastic collision of equal masses Elastic collision of masses in a system with a moving frame of reference

  3. Collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision

    This is the line along which internal force of collision acts during impact, and Newton's coefficient of restitution is defined only along this line. Collisions in ideal gases approach perfectly elastic collisions, as do scattering interactions of sub-atomic particles which are deflected by the electromagnetic force. Some large-scale ...

  4. Coefficient of restitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_restitution

    The COR is a property of a pair of objects in a collision, not a single object. If a given object collides with two different objects, each collision has its own COR. When a single object is described as having a given coefficient of restitution, as if it were an intrinsic property without reference to a second object, some assumptions have been made – for example that the collision is with ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_and_inelastic...

    The elastic and inelastic collisions apparatus is a large apparatus to study elastic and inelastic collisions. It consists of a large frame carrying two beams from which two rows of six and two wooden balls, respectively, are suspended from pairs of strings. The instrument was often used with two elastic balls (of ivory) or inelastic balls (of ...

  6. Newton's cradle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_cradle

    When the fifth ball begins accelerating, it is receiving momentum and energy from the third and fourth balls through the spring action of their compressed surfaces. For identical elastic balls of any type with initially touching balls, the action is the same for the first strike, except the time to complete a collision increases in softer ...

  7. Inelastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inelastic_collision

    An inelastic collision, in contrast to an elastic collision, is a collision in which kinetic energy is not conserved due to the action of internal friction. In collisions of macroscopic bodies, some kinetic energy is turned into vibrational energy of the atoms , causing a heating effect, and the bodies are deformed.

    A young talent who never would have been moved in the past gets a new home with the Lakers (of course), and it raises a number of questions for the future.

  9. Galilean cannon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_cannon

    Assuming elastic collisions, uniform gravity, no air resistance and the sizes of the balls being negligible compared to the heights from which they are dropped, formulas for conservation of momentum and kinetic energy can be used to calculate the speed and heights of rebound of the small ball:
