What you'll learn

  1. Glancing hit: Momentum is kept along east and along north
  2. Stick at right angles: Add the momenta head to tail
  3. Aim to cancel: Cancel the sideways momentum
  4. Off the rail: The rail changes only the part across it
  5. Largest turn: A heavy striker can turn only so far
