A 73.9 kg linebacker (X) is running at 7.43 m/s directly toward the sideline of a football field. He tackles a 89.1 kg running back (0) moving at 9.05 m/s straight toward the goal line, perpendicular to the original direction of the linebacker. As a result of the collision, both players momentarily leave the ground and go out-of-bounds at an angle ø relative to the sideline, as shown in the diagrams. Before impact After impact What is the common speed vf of the players immediately after their impact? Uf = m/s What is the angle ø of their motion relative to the sideline?

A 0.30-kg puck, initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface, is struck by a 0.20-kg puck that is initially moving along the x-axis with a velocity of 8.4 m/s. After the collision, the 0.20-kg puck has a speed of 5.1 m/s at an angle of ? = 53° to the positive x-axis. (a) Determine the velocity of the 0.30-kg puck after the collision. magnitude = _________m/s direction = _______ ° from the positive x-axis (b) Find the fraction of kinetic energy lost in the collision.
Two trucks are approaching an extremely icy four way perpendicular intersection. Dennis is driving his 3100 kg truck northward at 22 m/s while Eddie drives eastward in his 1100 kg car. They collide and stick together, traveling at 59◦ north of east. What was Eddie’s original speed?
Sally finds herself stranded on a frozen pond so slippery that she can't stand up or walk on it. To save herself, she throws one of her heavy boots horizontally, directly away from the closest shore. Sally's mass is 64.0 kg, the boot's mass is 5.00 kg, and Sally throws the boot with speed equal to 26.5 m/s. For all parts, assume the ice is frictionless and Ihat the positive direction is towards the shore. What is Sally's speed vs immediately after throwing the boot? -2.07 m/s Us = What is the displacement Aro of the center of mass of the Sally-boot system, relative to where she threw the boot, after AF = 2.75 10.0 s? How much time i does it take Sally to reach the shore, a distance of 30.0 m away from where she threw the boot? 14,49
A 75.5 kg linebacker (X) is running at 6.35 m/s directly toward the sideline of a football field.

A 46.0-kg skater is traveling due east at a speed of 2.60 m/s. A 66.0-kg skater is moving due south at a speed of 6.10 m/s. They collide and hold on to each other after the collision, managing to move off at an angle south of east, with a speed of vf. Find (a) the angle and (b) the speed vf, assuming that friction can be ignored.
In the game of medicine-ball-on-ice, players pass around a medicine ball while they are on ice, which can be assumed to be a frictionless surface. During a game, a 20 kg medicine ball travelling horizontally west at 20 km/h is caught and held by a 50 kg player, who is initially at rest. What is the velocity of the player after she catches the medicine ball?
