A ball of radius r moving with a speed v collides elastically with another identical stationary ball The impact parameter for the collision is b see figure 2 1 1 After collision ball 1 will come to rest and ball 2 will move with velocity making an b angle sin below the x axis 2r 2 After collision ball 1 will move with some b finite velocity making an angle cos 2r above x axis and ball 2 will move with some b 27 below 2r different making an angle sin the x axis 3 For perfectly elastic head on collision b 0 and for perfectly elastic oblique collision 0 b 2r 4 The balls must scatter at right angles
