(N/A) An oblique collision is a type of collision where the velocities of the colliding bodies are not directed along the line of impact (the common normal at the point of contact).
In a two-dimensional oblique collision between two bodies of equal masses,where one body is initially at rest,the two bodies move at an angle of $90^{\circ}$ (perpendicularly) relative to each other after the collision,provided the collision is perfectly elastic.

$A$ box of mass $3 \,kg$ moves on a horizontal frictionless table and collides with another box of mass $3 \,kg$ initially at rest on the edge of the table at height $1 \,m$. The speed of the moving box just before the collision is $4 \,m/s$. The two boxes stick together and fall from the table. The kinetic energy just before the boxes strike the floor is (Assume, acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,J$)
