Here we will be using the formula above as well as the rule momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision to solve problems involving momentum. However, the force on the body is not determined since the time is not known. An elastic collision is one in which there is no loss of translational kinetic energy. The direction of the angular momentum is perpendicular to the plane formed by the position and momentum vectors. This helps to avoid mistakes as you fill into the equation.
