Re: Physics Problem

Oh Oh! What have I done? Well this seems like a simple project for one of you student types. Just figure out how to lauch one billiard ball with a little spin (representing forward motion) and have it contact a stationary ball as if they were resting on a common plane. Do a motion study of the trajectory and interaction on both of the balls at the moment of collision and for two seconds following the collision. It would likely work with smaller non-resilient balls like those used for playing bocci or two larger ball bearings might fit the bill as well. Needs to be light and compact I would guess. Interesting problem...
