    1) A 1kg mass traveling at 10m/s strikes a stationary 1kg mass off-center. 2) The collision is elastic, as momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. 3) The impulse applied to the first mass during the collision is calculated as the change in momentum, which equals 5m/s-1 in the direction 30° west of north.
