the question might seem simple, but I am unable to find the best reference for it. Using ODE force function, I am able to apply force to a ball's COM and the ball starts rolling. It stops after a few seconds. The distance travelled depends upon the force. However, I am looking for algorithms that can help to predict the actual ball location after specified time 'x'. Note that the ball moves in 2D and I need to figure out the x and y coordinates of ball after lets say 1 second. Velocity and initial coordinates are given. Please suggest algorithms that can do it precisely. the newton velocity acceleration relation only works for shorter prediction time as they depend on linear velocity component. Please help
