8.37 •• On a very muddy football field, a 110-kg linebacker tack- les an 85-kg halfback. Immediately before the collision, the line- backer is slipping with a velocity of 8.8 m/s north and the halfback is sliding with a velocity of 7.2 m/s east. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) at which the two players move together immediately after the collision?

a man of mass m1 = 70.0 kg is skating at v1 = 8.00 m/s behind his wife of mass m2 = 50.0 kg, who is skating at v2 = 4.00 m/s. Instead of passing her, he inadvertently collides with her. He grabs her around the waist, and they maintain their balance. (a) Sketch the problem with before-and-after diagrams, representing the skaters as blocks. (b) Is the collision best described as elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic? Why? (c) Write the general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m1, v1, m2, v2, and final velocity vf. (d) Solve the momentum equation for vf. (e) Substitute values, obtaining the numerical value for vf, their speed after the collision.
A 65.0-kg basketball player jumps vertically and leaves the floor with a velocity of 1.80 m/s upward, (a) What impulse does the player experience? (b) What force does the floor exert on the player before the jump? (c) What is the total average force exerted by the floor on the player if the player is in contact with the floor for 0.450 s during the jump?
A tennis ball of mass 57.0 g is held just above a basketball of mass 590 g. With their centers vertically aligned, both balls are released from rest at the same time, falling through a distance of 1.20 m, as shown in Figure P6.45. (a) Find the magnitude of the basketballs velocity the instant before the basketball reaches the ground. (b) Assume that an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball so that it collides with the tennis ball just above it. To what height does the tennis ball rebound? Figure P6.45
6. A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 150-kg plank. Both are Moriginally at rest on a frozen lake that constitutes a fric- tionless, flat surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.50i m/s relative to the plank. (a) What is the velocity of the plank relative to the ice surface? (b) What is the girl's velocity relative to the ice surface?

A 65.0 - kg person throws a 0.045 0 - kg snowball forwardwith a ground speed of 30.0 m/s. A second person, with a massof 60.0 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates.The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of2.50 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What arethe velocities of the two people after the snowball isexchanged? Disregard friction between the skates and the ice.
Alyssa works at the Naval Civil War Museum in downtown Columbus, helping to perform historical re-enactments on the Chattahoochee River. In one re-enactment, a 100.0 kg cannonball is fired from a 1200 kg cannon, with a muzzle velocity of 52 m/s. What is the recoil velocity of the cannon? Assume that frictional forces are negligible, and the cannon is fired horizontally.
