I'm sorry that you can't work out this problem. But since you don't know how to do the math it doesn't make much sense for you to claim you can guess the answer.
The direction that the blue mass is now moving can be determined by simple geometry. It is moving along the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle at 4 units and along the perpendicular side of the triangle at 3 units. Just as drawn in the original diagram.
My diagram shows exactly the same thing as Newton?s 350 year old drawing.Perpendicular force changes the direction of a moving mass. It does not change the speed
The diagram shows a blue ball traveling at a velocity of A-C, which is struck by a red ball traveling at a velocity of B-C.The Blue ball is deflected with a resultant velocity C-D, the vector change is solely of direction, the red ball comes to rest its vector change is solely of magnitude.
speed would b constant, only the direction would change
What happens to the kinetic energy of the red ball?
I think that is an excellent observation
Finally some understanding of perpendicular force.
The asymmetrical nature of dark motion raises many such queries.
I think everyone here understands centripetal force and they also know that centripetal forces are different than a collision of 2 masses, which is something that you don't understand.
Science depends upon facts not belief.
He shows that a perpendicular impulse changes the direction of a mass and does not change the speed, just as the diagram I have posted.
No, your chart clearly shows that the speed increases.
My chart is the same as Newton's "chart".
Why do you refuse to acknowledge this.?
Newton's "chart" shows that the speed does not increase.
n Newtons model of orbital motion there is a continuous force that is perpendicular to the direction of an objects motion. In a perfectly circular orbit the objects speed would be constant, only the direction would change. That is not what we are talking about here. There is no continuous force, you are trying to apply centripetal force to a situation where it doesn't apply.

THEOREM I.Truly, when the body comes to B, by a single but large impulse the centripetal force acts, and brings about that the body deflects from the line Bc and goes along in the line BC ; cC is acting parallel to BS itself, crossing BC in C; and with the second part of the time completed, the body (by the corollary to Law I.) may be found at C Newton Centripetal.png (25.16 kB . 221x219 - viewed 31 times)
You believe that a point located at x=4 units and y=3 units is 4 units from the origin
