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. Include negative sign if your answer is negative, to indicate they are moving to the left.

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?
In a game of billiards, the cue ball is traveling eastward when it strikes a second ball that is initially at rest. After the collision, the cue ball moves at 4.65 m/s, 25.0° south of east, and the second ball's speed is 3.11 m/s. At what angle (north of east) does the second ball travel? Assume each ball has a mass of 162 g. Submit A Tries 0/5 What was the speed of the cue ball prior to the collision? Tries 0/5 Is the kinetic energy of the colliding balls conserved? (Ignore the rotation of the balls.) Correct: No Incorrect Yes
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
