Case III: One or both objects are traveling in the positive OR negative direction<br />
(i.e. backward) BEFORE the collision. However, after the collision, the two objects<br />
lock/stick together and travel in the same direction (which may be positive or<br />
negative). In the case shown below, both m1 and m2 are traveling to the right<br />
initially, and after the collision they “lock” or “stick” together and move off with<br />
a <strong>com</strong>mon velocity represented with vf.<br />
