During a Mutant League Football game, K.T. Slayer, a 71.6 kg linebacker, is running toward the sidelines at 6.88 m/s to catch Bones Jackson, a 89.2 kg running back, who is sprinting at 9.08 m/s toward the endzone. When Slayer reaches Jackson, he wraps his arms around him for a tackle; as a result of the collision, both players momentarily leave the ground and go out-of-bounds. Given the players are running perpendicular to each other right before the collision, at what speed (in m/s) will they fly out of bounds?

Erica (36 kg) and Danny (47 kg) are bouncing on a trampoline. Just as Erica reaches the high point of her bounce, Danny is moving upward past her at 4.1 m/s. At that instant he grabs hold of her. What is their speed just after he grabs her?
A lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake. She starts from rest, then runs along the log to the end, when she jumps from the first log onto a second. After landing safely on the second log, she slows down and ends up standing on the second log. Both logs both have masses of 150 kg each and the mass of the lumberjack is 70 kg. The lumberjack reaches a speed of 7.0 m/s relative to the shore during her jump. What is the speed of the lumberjack after she has stopped on the second log? You may assume the drag of the water on the logs is very small. Please answer in units of m/s.
Godzilla is fighting Mothra in Tokyo (again). Godzilla climbs a tall building and, while standing on the top of the building, Mothra slams into him at a speed of 460 m/s. Godzilla grabs onto Mothra during the impact and they are thrown from the top of the building. If Godzilla has a mass of 9.6 * 103 kg and Mothra has a mass of 3.2 * 103 kg, how fast are the two monsters going as they pitch from the top of the building?
A little fish has mass 0.400 kg and is floating motionlessly in the water, minding its own business, when a big fish (mass 2.00 kg) comes along and swallows it whole. If the big fish was gliding along at a constant velocity of 1.25 m/s before it swallowed the little fish, what will its velocity be immediately after the "collision"? O 1.04 m/s 7.50 m/s 1.50 m/s 0.250 m/s
A 2.00-kg object traveling east at 20.0 m/s collides with a 3.00-kg object traveling west at 10.0 m/s. After the collision, the 2.00-kg object has a velocity 5.00 m/s to the west. How much kinetic energy was lost during the collision? O 175 J O 0.000 J O 91.7 J O 458 J O 516 J
A lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake. She starts from rest, then runs along the log to the end, when she jumps from the first log onto a second. After landing safely on the second log, she slows down and ends up standing on the second log. Both logs both have masses of 150 kg each and the mass of the lumberjack is 70 kg. The lumberjack reaches a speed of 7.0 m/s relative to the shore during her jump. What are the speeds of the two logs and of the lumberjack after she has stopped on the second log? You may assume the drag of the water on the logs is very small.
1. Mrs. Waldrop (mass = 47.6 kg) is skating on a frictionless ice rink at a speed of 5 m/s. Being uncoordinated, she crashes into Ms. Head (mass 52.1 kg), who is originally at rest. The two stick together and continue moving forward. At what final velocity are the two Chemistry teachers gliding together on the ice?
A 2.1-kg object moving in the positive x-direction at 5.2 m/s collides with a 1.7-kg object moving in the positive y-direction at 8 m/s. The two masses stick together after the collision. With what speed does this composite object move?
Jack (mass 52.0 kg) is sliding due east with speed 8.00 m/s on the surface of a frozen pond. He collides with Jill (mass 48.0 kg), who is initially at rest. After the collision, Jack is traveling at 5.00 m/s in a direction 34.0° north of east. Ignore friction.
A 67.0 kg person throws a 0.0420 kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 26.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 56.0 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.30 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard the friction between the skates and the ice. thrower m/s catcher m/s Need Help? Read It
The Serengeti region of central Africa is home to a myriad of animal species, including the impala, Thomson’sgazelle, and the fastest land animal, the cheetah. On one particular day, a 64-kg impala is running at45 km/h due north, and a 25-kg Thomson’s gazelle is running at 77 km/h due east. If a chasing cheetah witha mass of 70 kg has twice the momentum as the impala and gazelle combined, fnd the direction andmagnitude of the cheetah’s velocity.
A 17.0 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x-axis with a speed of 180 m/s when it breaks into three parts due to an internal explosion. One part, with a mass of 8.0 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 190 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, with a mass of 5.00 kg, moves in the negative x direction with a speed of 410 m/s. What is y-component of velocity of the third part? (Your result must be in units of m /s. No need decimal place and maximum of 2% of error is accepted in your answer.)
