Question: A halfback with a mass m 1 = 9 8 kg is running up field with a speed of v 1 = 7 . 6

A halfback with a mass m1=98 kg is running up field with a speed of v1=7.6 m/s. His
angle of attack is =37(relative to y axis). He is tackled by an opponent with a mass
m2=112 kg, who approaches the halfback at an angle =32 with a velocity v2=4.1
m/s. Assume the collision is perfectly inelastic.
a) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant velocity of the two players just
after the tackle. (3 pts.)
b) Calculate the change in kinetic energy for the system of the two players.
