Change X speed after bouncing but keep mementum

Hello my Name is Andres, im new in the forum, but not new on the GS proyect. I got my game near to the end of it but i need help with my last "algorithm":
The problem i’m having is related to ‘gravity’(even if im not using gravity, im just using acceleration to imitate gravity).
When actor 1 hits actor 2 top-down, it bounces up and down off actor 2 fine, but when actor 1 hits actor 2 at an angle the arc it makes when it bounces is far too long.
I want to be able to control actor 1 when it’s moving across its arc so that I can make it drop downwards suddenly yet keep its momentum so it bounces again when it hits actor 2 top-down again.
Can anyone suggest how I can control actor 1 in its arc and make it drop down in a line quickly. I have thought about using an invisible ‘actor 3’ so that it collides and drops down in a straigh line to bounce again on actor 2 straight up NOT FORWARD, but I’m not sure that this is the best way or how to change the X accelertion of actor 2 = 0 when it touch this actor 3.
