If an experiment is conducted such that an applied force is exerted on an object, a student could use the graph to determine the net work done on the object.
The graph of the net force exerted on the object as a function of the object’s distance traveled is attached below.
- A student could use the graph to determine the net work done on the object by Calculating the area bound by the line of best fit and the horizontal axis from 0m to 5m

Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the tackler, m₁ = 120 kg
Velocity of tackler, u₁ = 3 m/s
Mass, m₂ = 91 kg
Velocity, u₂ = -7.5 m/s
We need to find the mutual velocity immediately the collision. It is the case of inelastic collision such that,
v = -1.5 m/s
Hence, their mutual velocity after the collision is 1.5 m/s and it is moving in the same direction as the halfback was moving initially. Hence, this is the required solution.
