A 100-g bat collides with a stationary 1.2 kg teddy bear. Immediately after the collision, the bat is traveling at an angle of 55 degrees from its original path. The bear is traveling in a direction 35 degrees from the original path of the bat. (All the motion occurs in two dimensions). If the bear is moving at 0.060 m/s immediately after the collision, how fast is the bat moving after the collision?

Two identical 1350-kg automobiles A and B are at rest with their brakes released when B is struck by a 5600-kg truck C which is moving to the left at 8 km/h. A second collision then occurs when B strikes A. Assuming the first collision is perfectly plastic and the second collision is perfectly elastic, determine the velocities of the three vehicles just after the second collision. The velocity of car A is VA = km/hr + km/hr +. The velocity of car B is vg= The velocity of truck C is vc= km/hr ←.

A woman of mass m = 63 kg runs at a velocity vi = 1.53 m/s before jumping on a skateboard that is initially at rest. After jumping on the board the woman has a velocity vf = 1.42 m/s.b. What is the mass of the skateboard in kilograms? mb =c. The woman soon loses his balance and falls backwards off the board at a velocity of 1.0 m/s. Assuming momentum is conserved in this process, what is the skateboard's new velocity in meters per second? [Note: this may not be a very good assumption, as there can be significant friction in the ball bearings of the skateboard]
