In a football game, John is a 130 kg tackler moving at v = 2 m/s (to the left) just before he collides head-on with Bill, a 90 kg halfback moving at v = 5 m/s (to the right). Find the speed and direction of motion of the players just after the collision if they have clasped together and move as one unit through the air.

Olaf is standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo, New York; there is negligible friction between his feet and the ice. A friend throws Olaf a ball of mass 0.400 kg that is traveling horizontally at 10.5 m/s. Olaf's mass is 72.8 kg. If Olaf catches the ball, with what speed vf do Olaf and the ball move afterward? If the ball hits Olaf and bounces off his chest horizontally at 8.40 m/sm/s in the opposite direction, what is his speed vf after the collision?
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?
What is the velocity (in m/s) of a 905 kg car initially moving at 25.0 m/s, just after it hits a 135 kg deer initially running at 12.5 m/s in the same direction? Assume the deer remains on the car. (Enter the magnitude.)
Consider a 935 kg car initially moving at 30.5 m/s. a) what is the velocity of the car, in meters per second, just after it hits a 140-kg deer initially running at 12.5 m/s in the same direction? Assume the deer remains on the car.
What is the velocity (in m/s) of a 905 kg car initially moving at 25.0 m/s, just after it hits a 125 kg deer initially running at 12.5 m/s in the same direction? Assume the deer remains on the car. (Enter the magnitude.)
A 0.00875-kg bullet is fired straight up at a falling wooden block that has a mass of 2.85 kg. The bullet has a speed of 682 m/s when it strikes the block. The block originally was dropped from rest from the top of a building and had been falling for a time t when the collision with the bullet occurs. As a result of the collision, the block (with the bullet in it) reverses direction, rises, and comes to a momentary halt at the top of the building. Find the time t. Number i Units
A 80.1 kg linebacker (X) is running at 6.71 m/s directly toward the sideline of a football field. He tackles a 91.7 kg running back (O) moving at 9.49 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 ?f of the players immediately after their impact? What is the angle ϕ of their motion relative to the sideline?
A cue ball traveling at 6.57 m/s makes a glancing, elastic collision with a target ball of equal mass that is initially at rest. The cue ball is deflected so that it makes an angle of 30.0° with its original direction of travel. (a) Find the angle between the velocity vectors of the two balls after the collision. (b) Find the speed of each ball after the collision.
A cue ball initially moving at 4 m/s strikes a stationary eight ball of the same size and mass. After the collision, the cue ball’s final speed is 1 m/s. Find the cue ball’s angle θ with respect to its original line of motion. This is considered an elastic collision.
During a game of football, a 108 kg player running at a speed of 9.1 m/s is tackled from the front by a 91 kg opponent at a speed of 6.3 m/s. What is the speed of the pair of players immediately after the collision (assuming the players are glued together)?
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 completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axis. Just before the collision, one ball, of mass 3.9 kg, is moving upward at 23 m/s and the other ball, of mass 1.3 kg, is moving downward at 14 m/s. How high do the combined two balls of putty rise above the collision point? (Neglect air drag.)
