When doing the math for a collision, how would you indicate the difference between a head-on collision and a collision where two objects were moving in the same direction? Your answer: One of the masses would be negative in the head-on collision. One of the masses would be negative when the objects are moving in the same direction. One of the velocities would be negative in the head-on collision. One of the velocities would be negative when the objects are moving in the same direction. There would be no difference.

A block with mass m1 = 0.450 kg is released from rest on a frictionless track at a distance h1 = 2.65 m above the top of a table. It then collides elastically with an object having mass m2 = 0.900 kg that is initially at rest on the table, as shown in the figure below. (a) Determine the velocities of the two objects just after the collision. (Assume the positive direction is to the right.

Two objects collide head on in an elastic collision. Assume they have equal masses but unequal velocities, such that the one coming in from the right is moving at 6 m/s toward the left, and the one coming in from the left is moving at 2 m/s toward the right. After the collision, what is the velocity of the one that came in from the left? (Use + to the right and - to the left to distinguish direction in your answer.) Answer in m/s.
Two billiard balls of equal mass undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision. If one ball's initial speed was 2.50 m/sm/s, and the other's was 4.00 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, what will be their velocities after the collision? Enter your answers numerically separated by a comma. Enter positive value if the direction of the velocity is the same as the direction of the initial velocity of the first ball, and negative value if the direction of the velocity is opposite to the direction of the initial velocity of the first ball.

Particle A of mass m, initial velocity 20i (m/s) has a collision with a stationary particle B of mass 2m. After collision, VA(final)=10i+5j (m/s) I need help understanding how does the i and j effect the formula for collision problems? I know the usual collision probleam steps but don't understand how this would effect the steps to solve the questions asked from this scenerio such as finding VB(final) if the system linear momentum is conserved in both directions. or calculating what the velocities of center of the system are before and after collision?
