You and your friends are doing physics experiments on a frozen pond that serves as a frictionless, horizontal surface. Sam, with mass 72.0kg kg , is given a push and slides eastward. Abigail, with mass 54.0kg kg , is sent sliding northward. They collide, and after the collision Sam is moving at 40.0 ∘ ^\circ north of east with a speed of 6.40m/s m/s and Abigail is moving at 16.0 ∘ ^\circ south of east with a speed of 8.80m/s m/s
1)What was the speed of each person before the collision?
Sam's speed:
2)Abigail's speed:
3)By how much did the total kinetic energy of the two people decrease during the collision?
"assignmentexpert.com" is professional group of people in Math subjects! They did assignments in very high level of mathematical modelling in the best quality. Thanks a lot
