v = x/t
v = average velocity, x = displacement, t = elapsed time
Given values:
x = 6km south, t = 60min
Plug in and solve for v:
v = 6/60
v = 0.1km/min south
Their velocity afterwards is 2.88 m/s east
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, for an isolated system (= no external force), the total momentum must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:
where: in this case:
is the mass of the first player
is the initial velocity of the first player (choosing east as positive direction)
is the mass of the second player
is the initial velocity of the second player
is their combined velocity afterwards
Solving for v, we find:
And the sign is positive, so the direction is east.

B. is the answer.
C is not correct because the light is actually reflected off of an opaque object.
