On a very muddy football field, a player of mass m₁ tackles a second one of mass m2 = 3m₁/2. Immediately before the collision, player 1 is slipping with a velocity of v₁ due north and player 2 is sliding with a velocity of v2 = 2v₁ due east. 3a. Sketch the situation, placing careful labels, and write formulae for the initial momenta of the two players. Might want to chose a coordinate system that will help you figure out how to add together these momenta. 3b. What is the magnitude of the total momentum of the system of these two players before they collide? 3c. What are the magnitude and direction of the velocity at which the two players move together immediately after the collision? 3d. Calculate the loss of kinetic energy associated with this collision.

1. I drop a ball from height h above the ground. At the same time, my friend, standing directlybelow on the ground, throw a second ball upwards with speed v0.

(b) At what height did the collision take place? (c) A wise old man tells you that if two rubbery balls of equal mass collide, with one ballat rest, the velocity of the first ball just after the collision is the same as the velocityof the second ball just before the collision (and vice versa). Sketch the distancebetween the two balls as a function of time after the collision (until one of the ballsreaches the ground).
