Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. Two billiard balls of identical mass move toward each other as shown in the figure. Assume that the collision between them is perfectly elastic. If the initial velocities of the balls are v1i = +25.2 cm/s and v2i = −20.3 cm/s, what are the velocities of the balls after the collision? Assume friction and rotation are unimportant. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Two ants, Xavier and Yvonne, move from point a to point b on the figure below. Xavier takes path X; Yvonne takes path Y. Even though their paths are different, they both arrive at point b at the same time. Using a ruler and the fact that it took both of them 4.93 seconds to go from point a to point b, calculate both the speed and the velocity (in cm/s) for both Xavier and Yvonne and enter these values into the table. Then, in words, tell me: how do their speeds compare? How do their velocities compare?
Before a collision, Cart A has 50 kg m/s of momentum and Cart B has -10 kg m/s momentum.
Following the collision, Cart A has momentum of 30 kg m/s, Cart B is moving but you don’t know its momentum yet.
