Question
On a touchdown attempt, a 95.0-kg running back runs toward the end zone at 3.75 m>s. A 111-kg linebacker moving at
4.10 m>s meets the runner in a head-on collision. If the two players stick together, (a) what is their velocity immediately
after the collision? (b) What are the initial and final kinetic energies of the system?

- A 44.0-kg boy, riding a 2.80-kg skateboard at a velocity of 5.30 m/s across a level sidewalk, jumps forward to leap over a wall. Just after leaving contact with the board, the boy's velocity relative to the sidewalk is 6.00 m/s, 7.60° above the horizontal. Ignore any friction between the skateboard and the sidewalk. What is the skateboard's velocity relative to the sidewalk at this instant? Be sure to include the correct algebraic sign with your answer.
