Abstract

Mutual collisions and impacts of solids occur in systems of widely different scales. The aim of this paper is to present a calculation of the change of temperature which a solid target undergoes when hit by a solid impactor. As a test, the equations derived are applied to examples of laboratory experimental data, and the results are physically plausible.
