The simple answer would be Yes.

You may get away with it if there was no change in the post-impact direction of travel from separation to point of rest, but there are a number of scenarios where that change is possible, in fact it's probably more likely there was a change than not.

Even so, if you didn't analyze the post-impact movement to determine that, you haven't done things properly.
