Question
Godzilla is fighting Mothra in Tokyo. Godzilla climbs a tall building and, while standing on the top of the building, Mothra slams into him at a speed of 400 m/s. Godzilla grabs onto Mothra during the impact and they are thrown from the top of the building. If Godzilla has a mass of 9 * 10 3 kg and Mothra has a mass of 3.1 * 10 3 kg, how fast are the two monsters going as they pitch from the top of the building?

- Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (see figure below). Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.65 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 77.7° south of west at 4.10 m/s. They collide and stick together, as the driver of one car reaches out and grabs hold of the other driver. The two bumper cars move off together after the collision, and friction is negligible between the cars and the ground.
