Question
Choose one of the following
For Oblique Impact problems:
a. Momentum is conserved in all directions. In the "tangential direction", the velocity of the colliding particles remains unchanged. In the "normal direction" (or the direction of impact), the velocity of the colliding particles is obtained only by applying conservation of momentum.
b. Momentum is conserved in all directions. In the "tangential direction", the velocity of the colliding particles remains unchanged. In the "normal direction" (or the direction of impact), the velocity of the colliding particles is obtained only by applying conservation of momentum and the coefficient of restitution. The mass of the particles that collide IS NOT considered.
c. Momentum is conserved in all directions. In the "tangential direction", the velocity of the colliding particles remains unchanged. In the "normal direction" (or the direction of impact), the velocity of the colliding particles is obtained only by applying conservation of momentum and the coefficient of restitution. The mass of the particles that collide is considered.
d. Momentum is only conserved in the "normal" direction.

c. Momentum is conserved in all directions. In the "tangential direction", the velocity of the colliding particles remains unchanged. In the "normal direction" (or the direction of impact), the velocity of the colliding particles is obtained only by applying conservation of momentum and the coefficient of restitution. The mass of the particles that collide is considered.
