Oblique Collision is also termed as two-dimensional collisions or non-head collision. This is because both the bodies have different line of impact before collision.

Let us consider two bodies of mass m₁ and m₂ respectively

Initial Velocities are u₁ and u₂ respectively as shown in Fig. 7.3

Total momentum before collision in x-direction = m₁u₁ cos₁ + m₂u₂cos₂

Total momentum after collision in x-direction = m₁u₁cos₁+ m₂u₂cos₂

According to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum (after collision) in x-direction can be written as-

m₁u₁cos₁+ m₂u₂cos₂= m₁u₁cos₁+ m₂u₂cos₂
