Two otters are sliding toward each other on a muddy frictionless horizontal surface. One of them, of mass 7.5 kg, is sliding to the left at 5.0 m/s, and the other, of mass 5.75 kg, is moving to the right at 6.00 m/s. They hold fast to each other after they collide. What is the magnitude of the velocity of these otters right after they collide?

Hockey puck A slides along a sheet of frictionless ice, moving due east with speed 2.80 m/s. It then collides with hockey puck B, which is initially at rest. After the collision, puck A is moving in a direction 30.0° north of east with a speed of 2.10 m/s. The masses of the hockey pucks are ma = 1.20 kg and mB = 1.40 kg. Apply conservation of linear momentum to the puck A+B system to find the final speed (in units of m/s) and direction of travel (in units of degrees) of puck B. 2.10 m/s 2.80 m/s A 30.0° before after collision collision
