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?

A 83.8-kg boy and a 59.4-kg girl, both wearing skates face each other at rest on a skating rink. The boy pushes the girl, sending her to the left with a velocity of -2.72 m/s. Neglecting friction, determine the subsequent velocity of the boy to the right. Answer: + 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 400 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 * 103 kg and Mothra has a mass of 3.1 * 103 kg, how fast are the two monsters going as they pitch from the top of the building?

A 69.0-kg person throws a 0.0495-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 32.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 59.5 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 3.85 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. (Take the direction the snowball is thrown to be the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) thrower m/s (Give your answer to at least three decimal places.) catcher 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
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 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.)
