A student is in her dorm room, sitting on her bed doing her physics homework. The door to her room is open. All of a sudden, she hears the voice of her ex-boyfriend down the hall, talking to the girl in the room next door. She wants to shut the door quickly, so she throws a superball (which she keeps next to her bed for this purpose) against the door. The ball follows the path shown in the top-view diagram below. It hits the door squarely and bounces straight back. |
