Momentum is conserved in both directions simultaneously and independently. The Pythagorean theorem gives the magnitude of the momentum vector using the x- and y-components, calculated using conservation of momentum in each direction.

For example, if two ice skaters hook arms as they pass by one another, they will spin in circles. We will not consider such rotation until later, and so for now we arrange things so that no rotation is possible. To avoid rotation, we consider only the scattering of point masses—that is, structureless particles that cannot rotate or spin.

A perfectly elastic collision is one in which none of the initial kinetic energy is converted into heat or deformation. A perfectly inelastic collision is one in which all of the initial kinetic energy is converted into heat and deformation.
