CollisionCollision model for two colliding masses |
|

SystemModel["EducationExamples.Physics.NewtonsCradle.Components.Collision"]

Model for the collision between two PlanarMechanics bodies. Modeled as a stiff spring with a gap. The spring force is only exerted upon the bodies when they are in contact with each other; otherwise, the force is equal to 0. Has the option to add a dampening constant, which corresponds to friction during collision.
