This is a simple one-dimensional collision simulator demonstrating the principles of the conservation of momentum. The user can define the initial velocities and masses for both balls as well as the coefficient of restitution, ε, for the collision. If ε = 1, the collision is elastic and the total kinetic energy is conserved as well as the momentum.If ε = 0, the collision is perfectly inelastic and the two balls will stick together. The simulation will also handle cases where ε > 1 representing a scenario in which energy is added to the system upon collision. The collision resolution is determi...
