We investigate the impact of composite objects. They consist of a soft layer on top of a rigid part with a hemispherical impacting end. The coefficient of restitution (e) of such objects is studied systematically as a function of the mass ratio and of the nature of the materials. For rather elastic materials, the coefficient of restitution is a...

Abstract The topic of collisions is introduced in university education to address the laws of conservation of momentum and energy. In particular, students are asked to classify collisions as either elastic or inelastic. They are often left with the idea that 'macroscopic energy' has been transformed into 'microscopic energy' in the case of an...
