Two fun-loving otters are sliding toward each other on a muddy (and hence frictionless) horizontal surface. One of them, of mass 8.00 kg , is sliding to the left at 5.00 m/s , while the other, of mass 5.65 kg , is slipping to the right at 5.00 m/s . They hold fast to each other after they collide.
Find the magnitude of the velocity of these free-spirited otters right after they collide..
How much mechanical energy dissipates during this play?

Two boys are sliding toward each other on a frictionless, ice-covered parking lot. Jacob, mass 45 kg, is gliding to the right at 8.02 m/s, and Ethan, mass 31.0 kg, is gliding to the left at 10.5 m/s along the same line. When they meet, they grab each other and hang on. (a) What is their velocity immediately thereafter? b) What fraction of their original kinetic energy is still mechanical energy after their collision? (c) That was so much fun...

Two blocks are sliding across a horizontal frictionless tabletop. Block A has a mass of 5 kg, and it is sliding directly southward with a speed of 8 m/s. Block B has a mass of 7 kg, and it is sliding directly westward with a speed of 4 m/s. The blocks then collide and stick together. What is the speed of the new combined block after the collision?

Two boxes are sliding to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface. Box 1 is trailing box 2. Box 1 has a mass of 2 kg and a speed of 5 m/s, while box 2 has a mass of 4 kg and a speed of 3 m/s. Eventually, box 1 catches up to box 2 and experiences a completely inelastic collision with box 2. What is the speed of the two blocks after the collision?
