[E]very body which collides with another must, before it is repelled, first reduce its advance, then come to a stop, and only then be turned back, and must thus pass from one direction to the opposite, not by a leap but by degrees…. We must recognize that, no matter how hard, every body is nevertheless flexible and elastic to some degree; like a ball inflated with air which gives way a little when it falls to the floor…until…[it] resumes its shape…[and] rebounds by itself from the floor.
