How do you know that two hot air balloons going in opposite directions near Albuquerque will not run into each other?

Because they move with wind currents (which can be different at different altitudes). If they are going in opposite directions, they cannot be at the same altitude. If they were at the same altitude, they would be subject to the same winds, so could not be going in opposite directions.


Why do electron n positron move in opposite directions in pair production and how does momentum is conserved when they move in opposite directions?

They move in opposite directions when in a magnetic field because they have opposite charges. The force on a particle depends on its charge -- make the charge completely opposite, and the force on it will be completely opposite. Momentum is conserved when they move in opposite direction (that is, in their center of mass frame) because their respective masses are identical. One electron mass moving in one direction plus one electron mass moving in the opposite direction means a total momentum of zero. The system begins with zero momentum and ends that way.
