A non-BYU Idaho student is having a snow ball fight. 'Accidentally' a snowball travelling north at 10.0 m/s hits a bicyclist traveling west at 5.00 m/s. The mass of the snowball is 0.750 kg, and the bicyclist is 55.0 kg. What is her final velocity, a. If the snow ball sticks to the bicyclist? b. If the snow ball bounces off with a speed of 2.0 m/s at an angle 20.0° West of South?
