A body however large is moved by impact by a body however small and [moving] at any speed. Imagine a boat carried along the shore of a river. A passenger standing in the boat supports bodies A and B hung on strings; let A, which he holds in his left hand, be greater and B less.

IMPACT • Impact occurs when two bodies collide during a very short time period, causing large impulsive forces to be exerted between the bodies. Common examples of impact are a hammer striking a nail or a bat striking a ball. The line of impact is a line through the mass centers of the colliding particles. In general, there are two types of ...
Let us consider the impact between two bodies, say two smooth spheres. If the direction of motion of each body before impact is along the common normal to the point of impact, the impact is called as a direct impact. If the direction of motion of one or both bodies before impact is inclined to the
This principle was of particular importance when the applied forces were functions of time and when interactions between particles occurred over very short times, such as with impact forces. In this lecture, we extend these principles to two dimensional rigid body dynamics.
