In the present work we apply our model to explore the properties of the fragmentation process of a circular disc when dropped on a frictionless hard plate at different angles. The particle moves with a constant speed $v_0$ without the influence of gravity, which is obtained by supplying a constant velocity to all the polygons constituting the circular particle just before it touches the hard surface. The impact angle $\theta$ defined as the angle of the vector
