    Anyone ever heard of physics author named Hilary. D. Brewster ?

    It looks like her books are published by the Oxford Book Company, Jaipur, India... Have anyone read any of her books?

    What are the velocity components after an inelastic collision in 2D?

    It isn't clearly stated but most probably the balls are moving "together" (they stick to each other) with a new velocity.

    What are the velocity components after an inelastic collision in 2D?

    The energy is not conserved in the inelastic collision ;)

    What are the velocity components after an inelastic collision in 2D?

    Homework Statement Two balls od the same masses collide, the first one is moving with the velocity v_1, the second is stationary. The angle between them is given by the statement: "the direction of the velocity of the first ball forms an angle \alpha=30^\circ with the plane of osculation of...

    Interesting mechanics questions

    I've ecountered three interesting problems lately: 1. On a motionless sphere you can lay a cylinder. In what conndtions it is possible? After we move cylinder by a little degree it starts to vibrate and after a short period of time it goes back to the static situation. Why? 2. When mooring...
