Abstract
The collision between two bodies, which occurs in a very short time period and during which the two bodies exert relatively large impulsive forces on each other (if there are no constraints these forces are much greater than the forces exerted on the two bodies by other bodies—then the effects of the former forces can be neglected) is called impact. The properties of this phenomenon and the solution procedures are covered here.
