What is a head-on collision?

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ moving with velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ in opposite directions collide elastically and after collision masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ move with velocity $v_2$ and $v_1$ respectively. The ratio $\left(\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)$ is

$A$ body of mass $30 \ kg$ moving with a velocity $20 \ ms^{-1}$ undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with another ball of the same mass moving in the opposite direction with a velocity of $30 \ ms^{-1}$. After the collision,the velocities of the first and second bodies respectively are:

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with velocity $V$ makes a head-on elastic collision with a ball of the same mass moving with velocity $2V$ towards it. Taking the direction of $V$ as positive,the velocities of the two balls after the collision are:

$A$ ball of mass $m$ is thrown at a wall with speed $v$ at an angle $\theta$ with the normal to the wall. If the coefficient of restitution is $e$,what will be the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the ball after the collision with respect to the wall?
