For example, if two balls of different mass travelling at different speeds strike each other from opposite directions, I know due to conservation of momentum that the total momentum after the collision will be the same, and that both balls will now be moving away from each other, and their masses will be the same- but how do you work what their individual velocites will be? How is the total final momentum distributed between them?
