  • How to calculate momentum in two dimensions
  • The same for impulse in two dimensions
  • The meaning of explosions as the inverse process of inelastic collisions
  • How to deal with explosions in two dimensions

Introduction

So far we have discussed head-to-head collisions, in which objects move either in the same or in opposite direction. Now we will discuss about situations involving collisions that are slightly diverted from head-to-head direction, after which objects have a lateral component of motion besides the normal one. Also, we will explain what happens during collisions and what are the common things and differences between collisions and explosions.
