Two objects have a perfectly elastic collision, as exactly illustrated in the diagram below. The first object (red ball) comes in at some initial speed and strikes the second one (blue ball), which was initially stationary in our reference frame. What is the speed of the blue ball after the collision? Write your answer as a fraction of v1. In other words, if you get v2 = 0.20v1, just enter 0.20.
All we know is the proportionality of the masses and the relative speed of the first ball before and after the collision.
1 kg

A1 kg mass moving 8 m/s to the right collides with a 4 kg mass at rest, as shown above. After the collision, the 4 kg mass has the velocity shown in the bottom
diagram. The arrows are drawn to-scale against a grid so that their components can be related visually.
Which vector shown in the diagram below best shows the direction as the impulse applied to the 1 kg mass as a result of the collision?

Use vectors to solve the following problems. Both cars weigh 1500 kg. Use the scale 1 cm = 1,000 kg x m/s. Assume all collisions to be elastic and sticking. Draw a picture represents the problem too.
The first car is travelling at 20 m/s east. The second car is travelling at 30m/s north. Using vectors draw to scale the component vectors and the resultant from their collision. Then solve using your trigonometric functions.
Also: use Pythagorean Theorem
