A family is skating. The father (70 kg) skates at 7.0 m/s and collides and sticks to the mother (65 kg), who was initially moving at 3.9 m/s and at 45° with respect to the father's velocity. The pair then collides with their daughter (30 kg), who was stationary, and the three slide off together. What is their final velocity? (Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees with respect to the father's initial velocity.) magnitude direction m/s with respect to the father's initial velocity

Question 6.1a: A toy car having mass m = 1.05 kg collides inelastically with a toy train of mass M = 3.60 kg. Before the collision, the toy train is moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of V, = 2.20 m/s and the toy car is also moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of v, = 4.60 m/s. Immediately after the collision, the toy car is observed moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of 2.15 m/s. (a) Determine V, the final velocity of the toy train. m/s (b) Determine the change AKE in the total kinetic energy. Assume friction and the rotation of the wheels are not important so that they do not affect AKE.
