2, A2.L-kg brick is placed gently upon a 2.9-kg cart originally moving with a speed of 26 cm/s.
Determine the post-collision speed of the combination of brick and cart.

3. A98:kg fullback s running along at 86 m/s when a76-kg defensive back running in the same
direction at 9.8 m/s jumps on his back, Whatis the post-collision speed of the two players
immediately after the tackle?

4. A0.112-bg billiard ball moving at 154 cm/s strikes a second billiard bal ofthe same mass moving in
the opposite direction at 46 cm/s, The second billiard ball rebounds and travels at 72 cm/s after the
head-on collision, Determine the post-collision velocity ofthe first billiard ball

6. A4.88-Kg bowling ball moving east at 21 m/s strikes a stationary 0.95-kg bowling pin.
Immediately after the head-on collision the pin is moving east at 5.19 m/s, Determine the post-
collision velocity of the bowling ball.
