Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy that an object has because of its motion. The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the forces between molecules and the energy that they possess. This theory is based on three theories about matter. Matter is composed of small particles (atoms, molecules, and ions).

Two football players with mass 75 kg and 100 kg run directly toward each other with speeds of 6 m/s and 8 m/s respectively. if t

3241004551 [841]

<u><em>heyaaaaa</em></u>

<u><em>Momentum before Pb = momentum after Pa</em></u>

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.

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

So the two players are moving at 2m/s in the direction the 100kg player was moving before the collision.

<em><u>I arbitrarily chose the direction of the smaller player as positive so the opposite direction (of the larger player) had to be negative. </u></em>

hope it helpssss!!!!!!
