Two linebackers Lawrence Taylor (A) (110 kg) and Ray Lewis (B) (115 kg) are facing each other as shown. At the signal, they charge towards each other at v₁ =3 m/s to the right and ve=2 m/s to the left colliding plastically (sticking together). Find the speed of the two football players after collision.

John is in a lab performing an experiment on collision. John takes a 3.0 kg car and sets it moving right with a speed of 1.0 m/s. This car collides with a second car of mass 6.0 kg that John has given a speed of 3.0 m/s left. After the collision, John notes the 3.0 kg car is moving 1.0 m/s left. From this, what would John observe as the velocity of the 6.0 kg car? A. 2.0 m/s to the right B. 0.80 m/s to the left C. 0.80 m/s to the right D. zero m/s E. 2.0 m/s to the left
A truck (m=5000 kg) initially moving at 5 m/s slams into the back of a car (m=1,000 kg) that is sitting at an intersection. The bumpers lock, and the two vehicles move off together. In the instant right after the collision, what is the speed of this wreckage? How much energy is dissipated? v = 5 m/s 100-160 m=5,000 kg m=1,000 kg

please help me with this problem. Given: A ball of clay mass M/8 A larger mass as known as M is attached to a spring with spring constant k. A ball of clay mass "M/8" moves with speed "v" towards a larger mass M. As the a ball of clay hit and sticks on the a larger mass who was initially still. a) What would be the speed of the combination after the collision? b) How much did the spring compressed c) How long did it take for the spring to be compressed due to the collision?
