The largest player at the 2015 Rugby World Cup was France's Uini Antonio at 144 kg (317 lbs). If Uini is lumbering down the pitch at 6.2 m/s, and the smallest player at the cup, Samoa's Vavao Afemi (65 kg), running 9 m/s at 70 degrees from Antonio's path jumps onto Antonio and hangs on for dear life. What will be the pair's speed and direction just after the tackle is attempted? (Hint: Momentum conservation is a vector, it must be conserved in both the x direction and y direction) Uini Vavao 70 What about Uini's velocity if Vavao instead bounces off of Uini at 2 m/s at an angle of 20 degrees?
