Given that,

Mass of trackler, m₁ = 100 kg

Speed of trackler, u₁ = 2.6 m/s

Mass of halfback, m₂ = 92 kg

Speed of halfback, u₂ = -5 m/s (direction is opposite)

To find,

Mutual speed immediately after the collision.

Solution,

The momentum of the system remains conserved in this case. Let v is the mutual speed after the collision. Using conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{100\times 2.6+92\times (-5)}{(100+92)}\\\\V=-1.04\ m/s

So, the mutual speed immediately after the collision is 1.04 m/s but in opposite direction.
