Question

two hockey players of opposite teams while trying to hit a hockey ball on the ground collide and immediately become entangled. one has a mass of 60 kg and was moving with a velocity 5 metre / second while the other has a mass of 55 kg and was moving faster with a velocity 6 metre/second towards the first player in which direction and with what velocity will the move after they become entangled? assume that the frictional force acting between feet of the two players in ground is negligible.

Answer 1

Answer:0.26m/sec

Explanation:

Due to law of Conservation Of Momentum(p) :

Initial p = Final p

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m2 + m1)v

60*5 +55*6 = (60+55)v

V=0.26m/sec.
