Question
Watch out for that tree! George of the jungle is swinging on a vine and when he is at his lowest point in the swing he has a horizontal velocity of 15 m/s. At that moment his friend Ape the ape jumps onto George with a horizontal velocity of 4 m/s in the opposite direction that George is moving and they swing together until they hit a tree when they are 5m above the lowest point in the swing. The mass of George is 85 kg and the mass of Ape is 23 kg. With what velocity do they hit the tree?
