#1
figure seven: two people playing ice hockey.
player A: mass = 78kg velocity = +7.5 m/s
player B: mass = 91 kg velocity = -5.5 m/s

question:
immediately after the collision the two players move together to the right. calculate the velocity of the two players immediately after the collision.

How much do you know about momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

take 1 to be player A and 2 to be player B

for final momentum (v) their masses will be combined so add them .. (169v) should be on the r.h.side

585 + (-500.5) = 169v
and solve for v

thank u so much

So what would v be ???
And what equation was used

momentum= mass x velocity
And I got 0.5m/s for v but it doesn't sound right
