Spherical elastic and inelastic collisions in Silverlight

Date May 21, 2008

I recently took an interest in using some very basic physics within Silverlight 2. I took physics nearly 12 years ago and am certainly rusty, but thought it would be fun to simulate he effect two spheres have when they collide. Their are two types of collision; a perfectly elastic collision where there is no [...]

Silverlight Circular Collision Animation

Date May 14, 2008

Building on the sample I created on Circular Motion, in this example I add a concept of collision.  In physics, deflection is the event that occurs where an object collides and bounces off of another surface.  In my example, two spheres collide at a given X/Y causing each ball to reverse direction and maintains its [...]
