Synopsis: This page shows two objects moving towards each other, and the result of their collision. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. This event is depicted in two stages, the first stage at the top of the page, and the second at the bottom. Each diagram has a dashed line image border. Arrows indicate the direction of movement of the objects and labels indicate their speed in metres per second. Labels directly down the page from each object indicate their weight in kilos.Before: two objects moving towards each other. In the diagram at the top, two blocks are shown: the one on the left, with a right-pointing arrow up from it, is twice as wide as the one on the right, which has a left pointing arrow. The blocks are moving along a horizontal surface that runs across the width of the page. After: objects colliding and moving off together. In the bottom diagram, the two blocks have collided with each other at the centre of the page. They are now in contact and moving right, indicated by the arrow up the page, along the horizontal surface that runs across the width of the page.
