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 while the other has a mass of 55 \(kg\) and was moving faster with a velocity 6 towards the first player. In which direction and with what velocity will they move after they become entangled? (Enter the values up to two decimal)
Assume that the frictional force acting between the feet of the two players and ground is negligible.
Let us consider,
\(m_1\) be the mass of girl
\(m_2\) be the mass of cart
\(v_1\) be the velocity of first player before collision
\(v_2\) be the velocity of the second player before collision
\(v\) be the Velocity after the collision
From the law of conservation of momentum, We know that,
Two entangled players would move with velocity \(m\ s^{-1}\) from , that is, in the direction the was moving before the collision.
