Question

A stationary quarterback is tackled by a 89 kg linebacker travelling with an initial speed of 5.2 m/s. As the two players move together after the collision, they have a speed of 2.7 m/s. What is the mass of the quarterback?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Let the mass of the quarterback be m1

And the mass of the linebacker is (m2)= 89 kg

Initial speed of quarterback (u1)= 0

Initial speed of linebacker (u2)= 5.2 m/s

Common Final speed is (v)= 2.7 m/s
