A 90-kg fullback moving east with a speed of 5.0 m/s is tackled by a 95-kg opponent running north at
3.0 m/s. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, calculate the velocity of the players just after the tackle.

An 8.00-kg object moving east at 15.0 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides with a 10.0-kg
object that is initially at rest. After the collision, the 8.00-kg object moves south at 4.00 m/s. What is the
velocity of the 10.0-kg object after the collision?

A 2,000-kg car moving east at 10.0 m/s collides with a 3 000-kg car moving north. The cars stick
together and move as a unit after the collision, at an angle of 40.0 north of east and a speed of 5.22
m/s. Find the speed of the 3 000-kg car before the collision
(sf 6.43) (12 m/s)

If the mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.00 u (that is, 1 unit), then the mass of the oxygen atom is 16.0 u.
