If anything is going to take it out, then it will be the 6 (in this scenario, hopefully).

So I'll increase the angle a slight amount to hopefully cause a 6-10 collision.
The question I have now is: Will a 0.01 increase in horizontal velocity create the necessary circumstances for a collision with the ten, needing a 0.04 margin of difference?

ball mass=1.85
x=8.5
v=(-1.26,3)

Got the 10. Left the 7.

This game’s sensitive enough to initial conditions, it might deserve to be call chaotic. I didn’t recall it being quite this tricky, but I didn’t keep track of how many tries it took me, (at seconds per try, rather than the minutes or hours it takes via the thread) and my notes do look like I got into the 3rd place after the decimal before finding a strike.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
