2. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

   The kinetic energy is equal to 1/2 the product of the mass and the square of the speed. In formula form: where is the mass and is the speed (magnitude of the velocity) of the body. In SI units, mass is measured in kilograms, speed in metres per second, and the resulting kinetic energy is in joules.

3. Bouncing ball - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncing_ball

   Gravity. Trajectory of a ball bouncing at an angle of 70° after impact without drag , with Stokes drag , and with Newton drag . The gravitational force is directed downwards and is equal to [4] where m is the mass of the ball, and g is the gravitational acceleration, which on Earth varies between 9.764 m/s 2 and 9.834 m/s2. [5]

4. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

   There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

5. Euler's Disk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_Disk

   Computer rendering of Euler's Disk on a slightly concave base. Euler's Disk, invented between 1987 and 1990 by Joseph Bendik, [1] is a trademarked scientific educational toy. [2] It is used to illustrate and study the dynamic system of a spinning and rolling disk on a flat or curved surface. It has been the subject of several scientific papers.

6. Kinematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

   v. t. e. Kinematics is a subfield of physics and mathematics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move. [1][2][3] Kinematics, as a field of study, is often referred to as the "geometry of motion" and ...

7. Elastic collision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision

   In physics, an elastic collision is an encounter (collision) between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same. In an ideal, perfectly elastic collision, there is no net conversion of kinetic energy into other forms such as heat, noise, or potential energy. During the collision of small objects, kinetic ...
