🏗️ Wrecking-Ball Impact Lab: Pendulum, Impulse and Energy Ledger

Swing a steel ball into a wall of crates, measure impact speed, impulse and the energy absorbed by breaking joints, and compare with pendulum and collision theory.

⚙ Under the hood

Swing a steel ball on a cable into a wall of crates with elasto-plastic breakable joints. Impact speed is checked against the pendulum formula, momentum transfer against the restitution collision law, and a live energy ledger shows how much is absorbed by joints.
