Oblique collisions

This animation shows a collision between two balls, one moving and the other initially at rest. Notice that after the collision the balls move of in directions at right angles to each other.

Use the input field below to control the y position of the white ball. You must enter a value between 0 and +60. Then press START to run or restart the animation
