There are two possible results. However, they cannot move in the same direction after the collision.
Total initial momentum = p - p = 0
where p represent the momentum of each object.
From the principle of conservation of momentum;
Total initial momentum = Total final momentum
Thus, Total final momentum = 0
There are only two possibilities for this:
1. Kinetic energy is conserved. (the collision is perfectly elastic)
In this case, they would move away from each other with the same magnitude of initial momentum.
2. Kinetic energy is not conserved. (the collision is inelastic)
In this case, they would either remain at rest or they will move away from each other with a smaller magnitude of initial momentum each had.
Note that if both bodies had moved in the same direction, there would be a net momentum in this direction and momentum would not have been conserved. (Momentum is ALWAYS conserved provided there is no external force acting on the system)

What happens when particles collide and transfer energy or momentum?
When particles collide and transfer energy or momentum, they can cause changes in the motion or properties of the particles involved. This can result in things like changes in speed, direction, or even the creation of new particles.
How do particles transfer when they collide?
When particles collide, they transfer energy and momentum to each other through interactions such as scattering or absorption. This transfer can result in changes in the direction, speed, or properties of the particles involved in the collision.
When 2 objects collide what do they exchange?
When two objects collide, they can exchange energy and momentum. This exchange can result in changes in the objects' motion and speed. Additionally, they can exchange forces and potentially deform or damage each other depending on the nature of the collision.
Describe what happens to the momentum of two billiard balls that collide?
They have identical momentum before the collision . The total momentum will the the same before and after the collision. When the balls collide they will bounce apart both with same force and so the same momentum as originally - but in opposite directions. This assumes no energy loss in an ideal elastic collision.
How does a variation in mass effect momentum?
An increase in mass will result in a corresponding increase in momentum, assuming velocity remains constant. Momentum is directly proportional to mass, so any change in mass will impact momentum. Conversely, a decrease in mass will result in a reduction in momentum.

Do particles bumping into the sides of a container cause pressure?
Yes, particles bumping into the sides of a container create pressure by exerting force on the walls. This pressure is the result of the particles delivering momentum to the walls as they collide with them.

Why in a collision momentum is not always conserved?
In principle momentum is always conserved. However what sometimes happens in a collision is that energy is released that is then no longer considered part of the system. For example if two cars collide energy could be dissipated via the air and ground (e.g. heat) and this can also carry away momentum. Often, these effects are not taken into account and in that way momentum conservation appears to be violated; but if one takes care and takes into account all collision products the total momentum after is equal to the total momentum prior. So in short, any violation can be traced back to a redefinition of the system.
What happens if two molecules traveling at the same speed collide head on?
If two molecules traveling at the same speed collide head on, they will exchange energy and momentum. This can result in the molecules bouncing off each other in opposite directions or sticking together to form a new molecule. The outcome depends on the specific properties and interactions of the molecules involved.
What do you call a chain of volcanos that result from oceans colliding?
Oceans do not collide but oceanic crustal plates can collide, and when they do collide, island arcs are formed along the subduction zone.
Do Two objects of different masses freely fall with same momentum?
No.....because we need both mass and velocity to find the momentum if velocity is same that is 9.8m/s that is of free falling bodies.........mass will effect the final result.
What would happen if two planets come together?
If two planets were to collide, it would result in a catastrophic event leading to the destruction of both planets. The force and impact from the collision would cause massive damage and likely result in the formation of new celestial bodies.
