Question

A 95 kg fullback moving south with a speed of 5.0 m/s has a perfectly inelastic collision with a 90.0 kg oppenent running north at 3.0 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the players just after the tackle.

Expert Solution
Step 1

mass of fullback = 95 kg Initial velocity of fullback = 5 ms due south mass of opponent = 90 kg Initial velocity of opponent = 3 ms
