Collisions Of Two Objects
Beginning of paper
When two objects collide, their motions are changed as a result of the
collision, as is shown when playing pool.
There are several laws governing collisions, the principal one being the
law of conservation of linear momentum, which says the total momentum of an
isolated system is the table and the ....
Middle of paper
.... If the relative
velocities of the two objects are the same before and after impact, the
coefficient is equal to 1, and the collision is elastic. In practice, however,
such perfectly elastic collisions occur only on an atomic scale; most collisions
are therefor not elastic, with a coefficient of restitution of less than 1.
