Ball bouncing in a cube

A simulation to show the 3-D motion with uniform speed in the horizontal direction, and acceleration due to gravity in the vertical direction. The principles of reflection can also be shown. The circles which are projections of the sphere along the surfaces of the cube also indicate that the projectile motion forms a parabola.
