Rectangle should not rest steadily on edge of static rectangle

[radegran]

Take a look at http://jsfiddle.net/We33V/1 . The falling rectangle should fall off the static rectangle.

Compare to http://jsfiddle.net/We33V/2/ , where the top-most falling rectangle falls of the bottom-most non-static rectangle.

I think this may be similar to issue #12, thanks for the additional test case

Yes it seems like a duplicate. I am closing this one.

In the original issue, the left box falls off a bit unnaturally which is also seen in http://jsfiddle.net/We33V/2/ where the rectangles right-most side comes to rest before catching up gravity. I do not recall physics class in detail but shouldn't the right-most side have pretty much the same velocity just after the collision as before? And shouldn't the left-most side "bounce"?

The behavior in http://jsfiddle.net/We33V/2/ seems to be as I expect?

Original issue now resolved in #12

Great!
I get the feeling that the top rectangle in http://jsfiddle.net/We33V/2/ slows down a bit too much upon collision, looking at the right hand side of it. Like if its motion path after the collision is independent of the initial height it is dropped from..? That is pretty easy to test, which I did, and I learned that it does depend on initial drop height. So until I have something more solid than a feeling I am happy as things are!

It should do but only up until the falling block reaches terminal velocity, which is probably pretty quick.
