Question

a 91.5 kg football player running east at 2.73 m/s tackles a 63.5 kg player running west at 3.09 m/s. what is their velocity afterward?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.88m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the law of conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

v = is their combined velocity afterwards

Solving equation (1) for v

V = 2.88 m/s

Therefore the velocity afterward is 2.88 m/s.
