General problem of two body elastic collisions
Posted Sep21-09 at 04:46 PM by joelarc
I've worked out a genl soln to the above problem. I dunno if it's worth publishing since it's fairly straightforward. I have never seen it completely treated in any textbook but of course I haven't read every textbook. Has anyone seen a complete treatment anywhere? I haven't completely experimantally verified it but I know that it does work under certain conditions. I just don't wanna waste time reinventing the wheel.
So has anyone seen the solution to two colliding elastic spheres whose mass and initial velocity is known? I assume the collision is NOT headon.

I am fascinated as an older reader. Does this theory of yours involve known problems like relative spin because if so then there would be a variety of angular reactions following collision surely? Could a material rugosity coeff be wrong in some cases of compressed material acting as a larger body?Posted Sep22-09 at 06:24 PM by chascomm
