  2. 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 ...

  3. Collision response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_response

    The degree of relative kinetic energy retained after a collision, termed the restitution, is dependent on the elasticity of the bodies‟ materials.The coefficient of restitution between two given materials is modeled as the ratio [] of the relative post-collision speed of a point of contact along the contact normal, with respect to the relative pre-collision speed of the same point along the ...

  4. Galilean cannon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_cannon

    The resulting rebound is quite powerful; in fact, eye safety issues became so prevalent that this toy now comes with safety goggles. A Galilean cannon made from a basketball and a handball. It is possible to demonstrate the principle more simply with just two balls, such as a basketball and a tennis ball. If an experimenter balances the tennis ...

  5. Twin paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    This is a different voyage than the one shown above, as both schemes take the same assumed total point-of-view time: T=12 (stay-at-home), resp τ=12 (ship), so the results of the calculated other-one's times must be different: τ=9.33 (ship), resp T=17.3 (stay at home). In the standard proper time formula

  6. Holmes rebound phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmes_Rebound_phenomenon

    The Holmes rebound phenomenon is a reflex that occurs when one attempts to move a limb against resistance that is suddenly removed. [1] When the resistance is removed, the limb will usually move a short distance in the original direction, at which point the antagonist muscles will contract, causing the muscle to yank back in the opposite direction. [2]

    In most cases, the phenomenon was observed shortly before or during the seismic event, and it was visible up 600 kilometers (372.8 miles) from the quake epicenter.

  8. Atmospheric refraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_refraction

    Atmospheric refraction of the light from a star is zero in the zenith, less than 1′ (one arc-minute) at 45° apparent altitude, and still only 5.3′ at 10° altitude; it quickly increases as altitude decreases, reaching 9.9′ at 5° altitude, 18.4′ at 2° altitude, and 35.4′ at the horizon; [4] all values are for 10 °C and 1013.25 hPa ...
