A football player Adam with mass 88 kg jumps into the air to catch the football, with a horizontal velocity 1.6 m/s to the right. At the same time, another player Brett with mass 83 kg from the other team jumped up to intercept the ball, with a horizontal velocity of -1.0 m/s (negative indicates to the left). Immediately after the two collided mid-air and grabbed each other, how fast are the players? Assume neither caught the ball so the ball's mass isn't relevant. Include negative sign if your answer is negative, to indicate they are moving to the left.

A 78.9 kg linebacker (X) is running at 6.83 m/s directly toward the sideline of a football field. He tackles a 89.1 kg running back (O) moving at 9.27 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 ϕ relative to the sideline, as shown in the diagrams. What is the common speed ?fvf of the players immediately after their impact? What is the angle ϕ of their motion relative to the sideline?
A football player Adam with mass 91 kg jumps into the air to catch the football, with a horizontal velocity 1.7 m/s to the right. At the same time, another player Brett with mass 82 kg from the other team jumped up to intercept the ball, with a horizontal velocity of -1.2 m/s (negative indicates to the left). Immediately after the two collided mid-air and grabbed each other, how fast are the players? Assume neither caught the ball so the ball's mass isn't relevant.

Dan is gliding on his skateboard at 2.56 m/sm/s . He suddenly jumps backward off the skateboard, kicking the skateboard forward at 6.22 m/sm/s (as measured by an observer on the ground). Dan's mass is 42.1 kgkg and the skateboard's mass is 5.99 kgkg . If the jump requires 0.122 ss to complete, what average force did Dan exert on the skateboard?
The fisherman's mass is 70 kg, and the rowboat's is 119 kg. The fisherman and rowboat are initially at rest when the fisherman throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally to the right with a speed of vi = 4.7 m/s. What is the velocity of the rowboat after the package is thrown? Neglect any resistance force from the water. (Give the magnitude in m/s, and select the correct direction from the options given.) A fisherman in a rowboat throws a package of mass m to the right with velocity vector vi. magnitude m/s toward what direction
During a fireworks display, a 0.280-kg bottle rocket approaches the top of its trajectory and explodes into two pieces as in the figure. The first piece (Piece 1) has mass 0.180 kg and the second piece (Piece 2) has mass 0.100 kg. Immediately after the explosion, the first piece is observed traveling to the left at a speed of4.30 m/sand the second piece is observed traveling at an angleθ = 39.0°above the horizon at a speed of 17.0 m/s. Determine the components of the bottle rocket's velocity immediately before the explosion. Vxi = m/s Vyi = m/s
