Single object in motion
Given mass and momentum, solve for velocity p=mv *v=p/m*

*Inelastic collision (sticks) – one object stationary*
Given initial velocity and masses, solve for final momentum p_initial= m₁v_1initial + m₂v_2initial p_initial= m₁v_1initial+ 0 = p_final **p_final = m₁v_1initial**
Given initial velocity and masses, solve for final velocity m₁v_1initial + m₂v_2initial = (m₁+m₂)v_(1+2)final v_(1+2)final = (m₁v_1initial) / (m₁+m₂)
