Pool Simulation

INTRODUCTION:

This is a game/simulation of pool.
The CONTROLS section contains general controls for the simulation.
The OUTPUT section contains equations and FBD for the first collision.
The IMPACT CALCULATIONS section shows all the impact calculations for the first collision. It also contains a PDF showing the calculations in detail
The INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO gives an in depth introduction to the simulation.

This section shows the final velocity calculations for the white ball. It also shows a diagram of the initial and final velocity vectors of the balls. Note: the vectors are not drawn to scale.
Equations:
\[v_{f} = \sqrt{{v_{fx}}^2 + {v_{fy}}^2} \; \mathrm{m/s} \qquad \theta_f = \arctan(\frac{v_{fy}}{v_{fx}})^{\circ}\]
