Thanks USeptim, I will try it.

I read about angular and linear momentum, but I think that it could be simpler. I think that with spheres it would be easier too, but I am working in a project that needs of this collision between two cubes. I am using a physics library that does this job very well, and it already calculates...

Hello guys, I am developing a physics system that simulates collision between two cubes. I need to calculate the total energy in those cubes in an instant before the collision. I know that the total kinetic energy in this case is the sum of the angular velocity energy and the linear velocity...

Well, I have discovered that the system is "ideal", but the impulses are applied between intervals. So, by you guys explained to me here, I suppose that it explains the why the acceleration increase over time, and only after some time the acceleration is constant , right?

Actually the system have a friction in the wheel, but I think it is a little tricky, once it work only to make the vehicle move and then, when I put the 0 impulse, the vehicle get constant velocity. Reformulating the question: is possible a wheel spin and move with a constant acceleration...

Yes, the wheel will spin with the application of the impulse. But the wheel do not start with a spin, if it is what you mean.

Yes yes, when I set 0 force to impulse, the vehicle gets constant velocity. But the system itself is not important actually. The important is the physics behind it, because if it is wrong I would fix it. The question is: When I apply an impulse with X force constantly to a wheel, it will get...

Hello! Well, I am in trouble with this question for some time. I am making a simulator with autonomous cars and its movement is done applying constant impulses to the wheel. My question is: if the vehicle is in the intertia state and I start to apply this impulses, the vehicle will assume a...
