collision momentum
1Collision — For other uses, see Collision (disambiguation). A collision is an isolated event which two or more moving bodies (colliding bodies) exert forces on each other for a relatively short time. Although the most common colloquial use of the word… …
2Momentum — This article is about momentum in physics. For other uses, see Momentum (disambiguation). Classical mechanics Newton s Second Law …
3Collision response — In the context of classical mechanics simulations and physics engines employed within video games, collision response deals with models and algorithms for simulating the changes in the motion of two solid bodies following collision and other… …
4momentum, conservation of — ▪ physics general law of physics according to which the quantity called momentum that characterizes motion never changes in an isolated collection of objects; that is, the total momentum of a system remains constant. Momentum is equal to… …
5collision — collisional, adj. /keuh lizh euhn/, n. 1. the act of colliding; a coming violently into contact; crash: the collision of two airplanes. 2. a clash; conflict: a collision of purposes. 3. Physics. the meeting of particles or of bodies in which each …
6Elastic collision — [ black body radiation (not shown) doesn’t escape a system, atoms in thermal agitation undergo essentially elastic collisions. On average, two atoms rebound from each other with the same kinetic energy as before a collision. Here, room… …
7Inelastic collision — An inelastic collision is a collision in which kinetic energy is not conserved (see elastic collision).In collisions of macroscopic bodies, some kinetic energy is turned into vibrational energy of the atoms, causing a heating effect.The molecules …
8Coulomb collision — A Coulomb collision is a binary elastic collision between two charged particles interacting through their own Electric Field. As with any inverse square law, the resulting trajectories of the colliding particles is a hyperbolic Keplerian orbit.… …
