Orientation of an object after collision with ground

AI Thread Summary
The orientation of a cube after colliding with a concrete surface depends on its behavior during the fall, including any spinning or tumbling. Factors such as the initial orientation and the nature of the ground impact influence the outcome. Upon hitting the ground, the cube is likely to bounce and settle in a random final orientation. Simulating this scenario requires accounting for these dynamics to predict the cube's post-collision position accurately. Ultimately, the final orientation is expected to be quite random due to these variables.

Hi All,
i am a new bee. if an object is release from certain height with some initial orientation. how do i know, what will be its orientation after collision with the ground.

Thanks and Regards,
K.Prabhakar

To answer that question, you need to know what happened on the way down - spinning, tumbling? Also what is the ground - concrete, mud, grass? I'm sure there are other factors as well.
 
The object droped is cube, and the groung is made of concrete. how will i simulate its orientation after collision with the ground?
 
As the cube is falling, ordinarily it will be tumbling in some random manner. Also when it hits the ground it will bounce around. The final orientation will be quite random.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
