Mass m1 = 0.5 kg moves with constant velocity v1i = 2.5 m/s along the x-axis and collides with mass m2 = 2.6 kg, which moves with velocity v2i = 3.1 m/s, as sketched below(completely vertical). After the collision, m1 and m2 stick together.
a.) Find the angle, θ, between the x-axis and the direction of motion of the two masses after the collision. (answer in degrees)
b.)What is the magnitude of the final momentum?
c.)What is the magnitude of the final velocity?

A 20.0 kg box slides down a 12.0 m long incline at an angle of 3.0 degrees with the horizontal. A force of 50.0 N is applied to the box to try to pull it up the incline. The applied force makes an angle of 0.00 degrees to the incline. If the incline has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.100, then the increase in the kinetic energy of the box is:
