What is Collison: Definition and 36 Discussions

Hello to everyone, first of all shame on me I has to ask and can not figure out it by myself... The problem is I am trying to code game where two homogenous discs with same mass and same diameter, no fricition due to gravitational forces, can collide. I can figure out the speed and direction...

My approach so far is to use F = ma. The forces acting on the block in the horizonital direction are friction and the force of the spring. Choosing the direction towards the spring as the positive axis. Therefore: F = ma -Fr - kx = ma Solving for a = (-Fr - kx)/m If I plug in values I end up...

Hello, I've been searching for a collision simulator for planets that uses SPH. I haven't found any though. US2 doesn't use SPH collisions. But does anyone know any that are publically available? Example video below: And a channel with a few: https://www.youtube.com/user/joetaicoon/videos

For a particle , E2 = (pc)2 + (moc2)2 and for a system of particle , (ΣE)2 = (Σpc)2 + (Σmoc2)2 so in that way before a collision, (ΣEi)2 = (Σpic)2 + (Σmoic2)2 and after , (ΣEf)2 = (Σpfc)2 + (Σmofc2)2 and as far as i know energy and momentum is conserved . so that means ΣEi=ΣEf and also Σpi=Σpf...
