The nswer is i will hi wll or he floor. From our rules of physics, he nex ounce will hppen one of he soluions o hese equions: XRIGHT RDIUS x v x XLEFT RDIUS x v x XRIGHT RDIUS x v x XLEFT RDIUS x v x YBOTTOM RDIUS y vy g The nex ounce will hppen one of he soluions o hese equions: XRIGHT RDIUS x v XLEFT RDIUS x v x x YBOTTOM RDIUS y vy g ( 0 g vy y YBOTTOM RDIUS vy vy g( y YBOTTOM RDIUS 3, 4 g YBOTTOM Noe: g < 0. How do you know which of he 4 vlues is he one h you should use? In he Generl Cse, here re Two Types of Collision Deecion Deecing Collisions Beween Two Ojecs. Discree B.

This gives us he poin of inersecion wih he infinie plne. We would now use he mehod covered few slides go o see if P lies inside he ringle in quesion. n Is Poin inside Tringle?
