I am not convinced by this.I beleive friction should be proprotional to the tangential(with respect to the collision surface) impulse, but I am not well versed in physics to tell if I am right or not.
Can anyone me if am right or not?
The maximum friction is proportional to the normal force, but the force from friction can not be more than the tangential force.
So calculate both and take whichever is smaller.
