On a very muddy football field, a 100 kg linebacker tackles an 80 kg halfback. Immediately before the collision, the linebacker is slipping with a velocity of 8.6 m/s north and the halfback is sliding with a velocity of 7.4 m/s east.

Answer #1

your question is incomplete but similar question is given in a text book so i think you want to ask following

What is the magnitude of the velocity at which the two players move together immediately after the collision?

ans-

p1 = m1v1 = 100*8.6 = 860

p2 = m2v2 = 80*7.4 = 592

applying conservation of momentum and suppose ' i ' toward north direction and ' j ' toward east direction.

(860)i+(592)j= (100+80)V
V= ( 860/180)i+(592/180)j and resultant velocity is square root of ( 860/180)^2+(592/180)^2=5.79m/s and direction is arctan (3.28/4.77)=34.51 degree from east.

While A Carolina Panther’s linebacker collides with an New England Patriots’s receiver. Prior to the tackle, the Panther player (125-kg) has a velocity of 4.0 m/s due East. The receiver (100-kg) is running across the field at 4.5 m/s due North to catch the pass. Once the ball is caught, the Panther player tackles the receiver (for a loss) and they fall together as one body. What are the initial momenta of the two players? What are the initial kinetic...

In a game a few years ago, two football players crash into each other during a tackle. The first player (mass 115 kg) is traveling at 5.78 m/s, at an angle of 49.4 degrees south of east. The second player (mass 98.0 kg) is traveling at 7.94 m/s, at an angle of 40.4 degrees north of east. The two players then collide, and stick together right after the collision. Define north as positive y and east as positive x. A....
