A weird collision "theorem"
All --
Many moons ago I thought I heard a professor refer to a "theorem" in mechanics which stated that if a hard object is released from an infinitesimal height above a hard surface, the force will be exactly twice the weight of the object.
Did I hear correctly? If so, any ideas on a derivation of this?
Thanks
