Hello Everyone..
Consider a small moving mass following a spiral path away from center and the body is rotating about its center as well. At some time the body impacts with a relatively bigger mass and transfers some of its energy to it. If we want to make an equivalent system with only linear motion, what are the assumptions we need to consider? Actual task is to study the impact of smaller mass on bigger mass. One suggestion from my side is to consider the tip velocity of small mass at the instant of impact as linear velocity of the whole body and orientation as the same time. Is this simplification valid for accurately evaluating dynamics of the system?
Any other comments and suggestions are welcome..
Thanks.
