Coefficient of Restitution

Go Coefficient of Restitution = (Final Velocity of Body A After Elastic Collision-Final Velocity of Body B After Elastic Collision)/(Initial Velocity of Body B Before the Collision-Initial Velocity of Body A Before the Collision)

Centripetal Force or Centrifugal Force for given Angular Velocity and Radius of Curvature

Go Centripetal Force = Mass*Angular Velocity^2*Radius of Curvature

Angular Acceleration of Shaft B given Gear Ratio and Angular Acceleration of Shaft A

Go Angular Acceleration of Shaft B = Gear Ratio*Angular Acceleration of Shaft A

Angular Velocity given Speed in RPM

Go Angular Velocity = (2*pi*Speed of Shaft A in RPM)/60

Loss of Kinetic Energy during Imperfect Elastic Impact Formula

Loss of Kinetic Energy During an Elastic Collision = Loss of K.E During Perfectly Inelastic Collision*(1-Coefficient of Restitution^2)
