  2. Collision response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_response

    The origin of the rebound phenomenon, or reaction, may be traced to the behaviour of real bodies that, unlike their perfectly rigid idealised counterparts, do undergo minor compression on collision, followed by expansion, prior to separation. The compression phase converts the kinetic energy of the bodies into potential energy and to an extent ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Elastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision

    On average, two atoms rebound from each other with the same kinetic energy as before a collision. Five atoms are colored red so their paths of motion are easier to see. In physics, an elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same.

  5. Collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision

    Collision is short-duration interaction between two bodies or more than two bodies simultaneously causing change in motion of bodies involved due to internal forces acted between them during this. Collisions involve forces (there is a change in velocity). The magnitude of the velocity difference just before impact is called the closing speed.

  6. Bouncing ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncing_ball

    [36] [37] Assuming perfectly elastic collisions, the basketball impacting the floor at 1 m/s would rebound at 1 m/s. The tennis ball going at 1 m/s would then have a relative impact velocity of 2 m/s, which means it would rebound at 2 m/s relative to the basketball, or 3 m/s relative to the floor, and triple its rebound velocity compared to ...

  7. Inelastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inelastic_collision

    With friction, momentum of the two bodies is transferred to the surface that the two bodies are sliding upon. Similarly, if there is air resistance, the momentum of the bodies can be transferred to the air.) The equation below holds true for the two-body (Body A, Body B) system collision in the example above.

  9. 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.
