<p>Animal aggression. During mating season, bull elk engage in fierce fights by running head to head. Suppose a 500 {\rm kg} elk running northward at 45 {\rm km/h} crashes into a 580 {\rm kg} elk charging directly toward him at the same speed. The impact lasts 0.50 {\rm s}, and the animals lock horns.<br /><br />Find the magnitude of the velocity of the elk just after they lock horns.Find the magnitude of the velocity of the elk just after they lock horns.What average force does each elk exert on the other during this collision?</p>

A man claims that he can hold onto a 12.0 kg child in a head-on collision as long as he has his seat belt on. Consider this man in a collision in which he is in one of two identical cars each travelling toward the other at 60.0 mi/h relatives to the ground. The car in which he rides is brought to rest in 0.10 sec. Find the magnitude of the average force needed to hold onto the child.
