A 73.3-kg linebacker (\"X\") is running at 6.71 m/s directly toward the sideline of a football field. He tackles a 91.7-kg running back (\"O\") moving at 8.61 m/s straight toward the goal line, perpendicular to the original direction of the linebacker. As a result of the collision both players momentarily leave the ground and go out-of-bounds at an angle φ relative to the sideline, as shown in the diagrams below. What is the common speed of the players, immediately after their impact? What is the angle, φ, of their motion, relative to the sideline?

1. A 50.5 kg quarterback is running with a football downfield at a speed of 2 m/s and is tackled by another player with a mass of 70 kg running toward him at 4 m/s. When the tackler grabs the quarterback, they both fall backward at the same speed of 1 m/s (opposite to the original direction of the quarterback). In the process, the 0.5 kg football comes loose at the moment the collision takes place. a) Calculate the velocity...

A running back with a mass of 76 kg and a velocity of 5 m/s (toward the right) collides with, and is held by, a 114-kg defensive tackle going in the opposite direction (toward the left). What is the velocity of the tackle before the collision for their velocity afterward to be zero? (Remember, velocity is a vector)

A ball with mass M = 5 kg is moving with speed V=10 m/s and collides with another ball with mass m = 2.5 kg which is initially stationary. There is no other force such as gravity acting on the two balls. After the collision, both balls move at angle θ=30 degrees relative to initial direction of motion of the ball with mass M = 5 kg. a) What are the speeds of the two balls after the collision? b)...

A ball, m1 = 0.1 kg, having initial velocity v1i = 0.5 m/s hits a stationary ball in a glancing collision. After the collision the balls have final speeds v1f = 0.4 m/s and v2f = 0.2 m/s and ball 1 bounces back at an angle of 110 degrees relative to its incident trajectory. a) Sketch diagrams of the balls before and after the collision. Include a co-ordinate system and label all relevant angles and velocities. b) Write down algebraic...
