Question

A 93kg fullback, running at 8.2m/s, collided in midair with a 127 kg defensive tackle moving in the opposite direction. Both players end up with zero speed.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The collision between the 93kg fullback and the 127kg defensive tackle is an example of an inelastic collision. In an inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the system is not conserved as some of the energy is transformed into other forms such as heat or sound. The resulting final speed of both players would be 0m/s, indicating that they have come to a stop after the collision.
