Homework Statement
Hello! I'm working on my final project for a programming class. Currently I can successfully
detect 2D collision between a ball, and a line that can rotate in any direction.
However when the ball hits the line I need to change it's velocity so it bounces
in the right...
Oh I completely agree with him and appreciate the help immensely...I just don't see why I'm getting such a mangled answer.
Did I rearrange the equation wrong?
Oh I see! Fe pushes the spheres to the side while Fg pushes them down to the ground.
Tan = Opp / Adj so my equation should be:
Tan15 Fg = Fe
\frac{Tan15mgr^2}{2k} = q
Awww too bad it's actually wrong. I am getting 7.03x10^-15 as an answer.
