The applet on Page 2 simulates a collision between an incoming object and an object that is initially stationary. The impact parameter of the incoming object can be set to a non-zero value which results in both objects moving away from the collision axis after the collision. The collision can be viewed both in the laboratory frame of reference and the center-of-mass frame of reference.
