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.

A 78.9 kg linebacker (X) is running at 6.83 m/s directly toward the sideline of a football field. He tackles a 89.1 kg running back (O) moving at 9.27 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 ?fvf of the players immediately after their impact? What is the angle ϕ of their motion relative to the sideline?
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?

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.
One day a responsible young college student is driving his blue car (m = 931 kg) in an easterly direction and obeying the traffic laws with a leisurely velocity of v, = 12.12 m/s. Out of nowhere comes a crazed soccer mom driving her red minivan (M = 1261 kg) in a northerly direction at the insane velocity of V, = 21.81 m/s crashing straight into the innocent student. Their vehicles intertwine into a tangled pile of wreckage that eventually slides to a stop. We'll take the coefficient of friction to be: µk = 0.623. d%3? V2(wreckage) V2y=? v,(car) V=? V,(van) Not to scale The following summarizes the sequence of events occur: 1→ 2: The cars suffer an inelastic collision. • 2 → 3: The cars slide to a stop. Determine all the following: The x-component of the velocity of the wreckage immediately after the collision: V2x The y-component of the velocity of the wreckage immediately after the collision: V2y m/s The magnitude of the velocity of the wreckage immediately after the collision: V2 =…
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 0.150-kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.80 m/s. It has a head-on col- lision with a 0.300-kg glider that is moving to the left with a speed of 2.20 m/s. Find the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of each glider if the collision is elastic.
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.)
