This is illustrated most strikingly by superballs: if you toss one out ahead of you with a huge backspin, you can get it to bounce back toward you. Obviously, this will become very complicated; you'll get pretty large systems of equations, and you'll need lots of different variables. I don't have time to derive this all for you. Maybe you should just separate the motion into components parallel and perpendicular to the surface of contact and ignore angular momentum. | |
