Oblique Impact Example (Engineering Dynamics)

Check out https://www.engineer4free.com/dynamics for more free engineering dynamics tutorials. The course covers linear motion, projectile motion, circular motion, kinetics, work & energy, impulse & momentum, and rigid body rotation.

This tutorial goes over an example of an oblique collision. The coefficient of restitution in this impact is 0.6. We have to use the equation for coefficient of restitution to solve for the component of velocity along the line of impact, and the conservation of linear momentum for the component of velocity that is perpendicular to it.

TYPO: I mislabelled the mass of the left object as 300g, because I do the calculations as if it is 500g. Sorry for any confusion that it caused.
