Abstract
If a perfectly elastic ball collides vertically with the floor, the rebound speed is the same as the incident speed. If the floor remains at rest, then kinetic energy is conserved but momentum is not conserved. To conserve momentum as well as energy, the floor must recoil at finite speed, even if it is extremely heavy.
