Two identical 0.25 kg balls are involved in a head-on collision. Ball A is initially travelling at 3.5 m/s, and ball B is initally at rest. Determine the velocity of each ball after the collision.

a) mv(final):<0,0,0> minus mv(initial):<25,0,0> = <-25,0,0>

b) mv(final):<25,0,0> minus mv(initial):<0,0,0> = <25,0,0>

c) conservation of momentum makes it <0,0,0>

for a-b-c, momentum_system + momentum_surroundings = 0
