Art or Neufer, I like your equation. I will remember you when I need to find or derive an appropriate equation. In fact, I could use an equation. Assume one smaller spherical body, m1, strikes another spherical body, m2, toward its center of gravity but at a certain angle, A, between the two velocity vectors, v1 and v2, both in the same quadrant. The smaller body is absorbed except for some insignificant collisional debris. What is the equation for the final velocity of this system?
