In an oblique collision (when one object hits another object of IDENTICAL mass at a slight angle the two objects move at right angles to each other.
my book says
p2 = p12 + p22
For momenum conservtation:
p= p1+ p2
apparently these equations can only be consistent of the collision occurs at right angles. why?
