A young 45 kg45 kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, deflects a 0.14 kg0.14 kg hockey puck slapped at him at a speed of 34.5 m/s34.5 m/s. In this problem, take the original direction of the puck as positive. Suppose the goalie and the hockey puck have an elastic collision and the puck is reflected back in the direction from which it came. What would the final velocity, in meters per second, of the goalie be in this case?

Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A�, with a mass of 1900 kgkg , is going from west to east, while car B�, of mass 1300 kgkg , is going from north to south at 14.0 m/sm/s . As a result of this collision, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one afterwards. In your role as an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 55.0 ∘∘ south of east from the point of impact.How fast were the enmeshed cars moving just after the collision?
