Muskox: In the arctic, male muskoxen compete for the attention of females by butting heads. On a cold day (-16.3 degree F), a young bull spies an older bull 13.9 m away and charges! The two meet in a head-on collision and come to a complete stop. The young bull has a mass of 681 kg and was running at a speed of 9.5 m/s. The older bull has a mass of 654 kg. The collision takes place on an icy patch, so you can ignore friction. (a) What was the speed of the older bull? (b) How many joules of energy were "lost" in this collision?
