This Program Performs the following:
(1) Animates the movement of a Billiard Ball on a table that has a surface friction (mu) and coefficient of restitution (e) for the sides and saves it as an AVI file.

(2) Outputs series of rows and columns that displays the stream data of (Time),(X),(Y),(V), and (th) to screen.

(3) Outputs the initial X-Y coordinates along with the final coordinated when the speed of the ball reaches zero.

(4) Plots 4 figures that shows:
a- (X vs. Y).
b- (Time vs. X).
c- (Time vs. Y).
d- (Time vs. Velocity).

(5) Saves the Above Plots as a (JPEG) file.

(6) Outputs series of rows and columns that displays the stream data of (Time),(X),(Y),(V), and (th) to a file.
