Two ice skaters approach each other at right angles. Skater A has a mass of 68.2 kg and travels in the x direction at 2.48 m/s. Skater B has a mass of 34.4 kg and is moving in the y direction at 1.18 m/s. They collide and cling together. Find the final speed of the couple. Answer in units of m/s.

1.70 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the final speed of the couple is shown below:

initial momentum of A is

= mv

= 68.2 × 2.48

= 169.136 kg

And, the initial momentum of B is

= mv

= 34.4 × 1.18

= 40.592 kg

Now magnitude is

= sqrt( A^2 + B^2)

= sqrt( 28,606.99 + 1,647.71)

= 173.94

Now the final speed is

= 173.94 ÷ (68.2 + 34.4)

= 1.70 m/s

i dont think you are wrong for wanting to get even with someone who did you wrong.

(i'm an eye for an eye kind of person) but if this person hurt you in a sexual way, i dont suggest doing anything to him. he should be taken to the proper authorities, you could go to jail depending on what you do. if it was something small like your sibling took your spot on the couch, than yea, i would get even with him by taking one of his favorite snacks lol. but i dont suggest you doing anything illegal.
