The word 'apparent' mean in apparent visual magnitude is, how bright the star appears when viewed from Earth.

What is visual magnitude?

The brightness of a celestial body is determined by eye estimation with or without optical aid or by other instrumentation equivalent to the eye in spectral sensitivity.

Apparent magnitude:

Apparent magnitude is a measure of how bright the star appears when viewed from Earth.
It is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object observed from Earth.
An object's apparent magnitude depends on its intrinsic luminosity and its distance from Earth.

Hence,

Momentum before Pb = momentum after Pa

Pb = 75*6 - 100*8 = -350kgm/s = Pa = (75+100)V where V is the velocity of the combined mass of the two players after the collision.

Velocity has magnitude (speed) and direction. V = -350/175 = -2m/s
