In a football game, 123.5 kg linebacker moving west at 0.95 m/s tackles an 86.4 kg running back moving east at 1.3 m/s. Using good tackling form, the linebacker wraps his arms around the running back and the two move together after the tackle. Immediately after the collision, what is the velocity of the two players? Give your answer in m/s, with positive velocities towards the east.

A ball of mass 250 g is thrown with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 30 with the horizontal direction. Ignore air resistance. What is the momentum of the ball after 0.2 s? (Do this problem by finding the components of the momentum first, and then constructing the magnitude and direction of the momentum vector from the components.)
William has a mass of 59.8 kg and Anne has a mass of 42.9 kg, both of which have skates, are facing each other in a skating rink. William pushes Anne in the eastern direction at 3.89 m/s. Determine the final velocity of William. Assume that the surface is frictionless.
A 62.0 kg curler runs into a stationary 78.1 kg curler and they hold on to each other. Together they move away at 1.29 m/s, west. What was the original velocity of the 62.0 kg curler?
Superman (with mass 80.0 kg) is flying at a constant horizontal speed of 50.0m/s to catch Lois Mane (with mass 65.0 kg) that is falling from a tall building. What is Supermane’s final horizontal velocity after getting a hold of Lois Mane?
V:00 a 46 For testing, a jetski coming in at 34.1 m/s collides with a tree and stops in around 1 second. A dummy passenger weighing 1481.3 N is protected by an airbagthat slows its velocity in 1.7 s. What is the magnitude of average force does the dummy experience during the collision? (N) Answer: 3028.86 The correct answer is: 3028.86
Jenna was serving a 0.285 kg volleyball to win the set against UNB. Scott was geeking it up and brought a high-speed camera into the gym and used it to determine that Jenna’s hand was in contact with the ball for 0.033 seconds during the serve. Scott also borrowed a radar gun from a local RCMP and using this gun, he was able to determine that the velocity of the volleyball when it left her hand was 24.4 m/s. What force in Newtons did Jenna’s hand exert on the volleyball during the serve (assume the ball’s speed was zero when her hand first struck the ball)?
Consider a 33.2 kg block of wood sliding with 2.8 m/s to the left (in the negative xdirection) on an extremely slippery surface. At about 4.5 s, you throw a 9.4 kg lump of clay to the left, directly at the back of the block of wood. The lump of clay collides with and completely sticks to the block of wood, so that they both end up moving to the left with 5.1 m/s. a) Calculate the x-component of the lump of clay’s velocity right before it hits the block of wood. b) Qualitatively, draw a graph of the x-component of the net force acting on the block of wood vs. time. c) Qualitatively, draw a graph of the x-component of the momentum of the block of wood vs. time.
Anthony is just relaxing since its summer vacation and actually put on some weight too and is now 90 kg. He decides to hit up Lake Thunderbird in his 40 kg boat and chill. Anthony reaches the center of the lake and stops moving and then decides to start fishing. He starts to fish but accidentally threw the 10kg pole at 5 m/s horizontally away from him. Suddenly, the boat starts moving. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of Anthony and the boat if the water really doesn’t have much friction with the boat?
A 50.0-kg person is holding a 5.00-kg rock while sitting in a 100.-kg boat at rest. The person throws the rock at 4.00m/s to the east. What is the velocity of the person and the boat after the stone is thrown?
Two otters are sliding toward each other on a muddy frictionless horizontal surface. One of them, of mass 7.5 kg, is sliding to the left at 5.0 m/s, and the other, of mass 5.75 kg, is moving to the right at 6.00 m/s. They hold fast to each other after they collide. What is the magnitude of the velocity of these otters right after they collide? O 0.116m/s 0.236m/s O 0.441m/s O 0.226m/s
An 2000-kg car stopped at a traffic light is struck from the rear by a 1000-kg car. The two cars become entangled, moving along the same path as that of the originally moving car. If the smaller car were moving at 45.0 m/s before the collision, what is the velocity of the entangled cars after the collision?
In a football game, 100.5 kg linebacker moving west at 0.67 m/s tackles an 85.0 kg running back moving east at 1.7 m/s. Using good tackling form, the linebacker wraps his arms around the running back and the two move together after the tackle. Immediately after the collision, what is the velocity of the two players? Give your answer in m/s, with positive velocities towards the east.
