What happens when a sphere strikes a sphere?
The answer depends on their relative masses and elasticity. Some of the kinetic energy of the first sphere will be lost in sound (the bang), some will be absorbed by the elasticity of the two spheres. If there is any energy left over, the second sphere will begin to move in the direction that the first one was moving in. Finally, depending the first sphere may continue moving in the direction in which it was moving, it may come to a stop or it may reverse its direction of motion.
