Between classes at URI, two students accidentally collide with each other while trying to get to class on time. Before the collision, the first student (mass 55.0 kg) was traveling at 1.53 m/s, at an angle of 19.5 degrees south of west, and the second student (mass 73.0 kg) was traveling at 1.28 m/s, at an angle of 30.3 degrees north of east. The two students stuck together right after the collision, just briefly. Define north as positive y and east as positive x A. What is the x-component of the students' velocity, right after the collision? Hints: the students will have the same velocity right after the collision because they stuck together; you will need to breas the initial velocities up into components; be careful with signs -0.00 x m/s da number B. What is the y-component of the students' velocity, right after the collision? 0:20 x m/s

In a football game, a receiver is standing still, having just caught a pass. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocity of +3.77 m/s, grabs him. The tackler holds onto the receiver, and the two move off together with a velocity of +1.82 m/s. The mass of the tackler is 94.1 kg. Assuming that momentum is conserved, find the mass of the receiver. Number i Units Before collision After collision
