Suppose ball A is moving at 2 m/s and ball B is moving at -2 m/s. Both have the same mass. After colliding:



Suppose ball A is moving at 2 m/s and ball B is stationary. Both have the same mass. After colliding:



Suppose ball A is moving at 1 m/s and ball B is moving at -3 m/s. Both have the same mass. After colliding:



Suppose ball A is moving at 1 m/s and ball B is stationary. Ball A has a mass of 5 kg and ball B has a mass of 1 kg. After colliding:
