An ice skater at rest on ice catches a dance partner moving 1.5 m/s during a performance. The ice skater has a mass of 75 kg and the dance partner has a mass of 50 kg. What is the speed of the ice skater and dance partner after the collision?

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. you are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. assume that your reaction time is 0.50s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. how far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? what acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? how long does it take you to stop after the light changes? the known values: vi=20m/s xi=110m t=.50s vf=0m/s xf=0m a=?
