Elastic Collision

Programs
m1 = s1 = ang1 =
m2 = s2 = ang2 =
ang1f =
s1f = s2f = ang2f =

This programs solves the two body collision problem. Such collisions are common in the game of pool.

The initial conditions are the velocity (speed and angle) and mass (m) of objects 1 and 2. Also, the angle after collision of object 1 must be given. This program will return the velocity of object 2 and the speed of object 1.
