Question

Hi there!, are there any programmers/physicists/mathematicians who could help me with collision response? I don't understand how to deal with multiple collisions at the same time.

Answer 1

the same laws apply to multiple collisions. assume you're building a physics engine and are detecting collisions using an event listener or the runtime. that must be the hard part. one you have detected that 2 or more things are touching, then just apply conservation of momentum and maybe some assumption about energy an elasticity.
