Two metal balls of equal mass collide elastically (what does this mean in terms of conservation?), with the collision happening at the origin. The second ball starts out at rest at the origin, and the first ball starts out approaching the origin with some velocity, moving entirely in the positive x direction. The second ball ends up traveling at 12 m/s, moving in a direction that is 60 degrees above the positive x axis. Find the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the first ball, and find the initial speed of the first ball.

Two billiard balls of equal mass move at right angles and meet
at the origin of an xy coordinate system. Ball A is moving upward
along the y axis at vA = 1.6 m/s , and ball B is moving to the
right along the x axis with speed vB = 5.3 m/s . After the
collision, assumed elastic, ball B is moving along the positive y
axis(Figure 1).

two putty balls, one of mass M and the other of mass 2M, collide
and stick together. just before the collision, the ball with mass
2m is moving at an angle theta, with respect to the +y direction
with speed V, and ball with mass M is moving in the +x direction
with speed 2V. (derive and expression using the coordinate system
provided, in terms of system parameters, for the KE of the combined
object after collision.?)

A ball with a mass of 2 kg is initially moving to the right with
a speed of 3 m/s. It collides with a 5 kg ball moving to the left
with a speed of 1 m/s. The balls collide partially elastically: 70%
of the initial kinetic energy of the system is conserved in the
collision. Find the final velocity of each ball. The balls move
only along the x-axis. Show your work.
