    Understanding the Coefficient of Restitution in 2-D Inelastic Collisions

    aaah n/m sorry, I just hit a mind block back there, I did more research and figured out you must use the speeds along the axis of the normal of the collision. And that the secondary ball's direction IS along the normal of collision axis. Then you simply find the ratio between the difference of...

    Calculating Final Position of Billiard Ball with Rolling Friction

    You must assume that the ball begins in the state of pure rolling. Pure rolling occurs when the tangential speed of the circumference of the ball equals the linear speed: v = rw. Where r is the radius of the ball, while v and w are the linear and angular velocities. The force of friction...

    Understanding the Coefficient of Restitution in 2-D Inelastic Collisions

    Hello, This concerns a collision between two spherical balls of equal mass and radius. The collision is two dimensional and not completely elastic. The secondary ball begins stationary. The primary ball travels along the horizontal axis with a given velocity. After the collision, the...
