Two balls of equal masses, one at rest, the other moving with a speed V directly toward the other. Assuming the collision is partially elastic with a coefficient of restitution of 0.8, what final velocities, in terms of V, would the two balls end up with?

A 4.00 kg ball traveling North with a momentum of 11.2 kg.m/s collides with a 6.0 kg ball traveling West with a momentum of 18 kg.m/s. The two balls stick together and head off as one. What is the momentum of the combined masses? What is the velocity of the combined masses?
