A 185-kg rugby player running east with a speed of 4.00 m/s tackles a 90.0-kg opponent running north with a speed of 4.50 m/s. Assume the tackle is a perfectly inelastic collision. (Assume that the +x axis points towards the east and the +y axis points towards the north.) (a) What is the velocity of the players immediately after the tackle? magnitude m/s direction ° counterclockwise from the +x axis 3.07 28.66 ..(b.) What is the amount of mechanical energy lost during the collision? Enter a number. differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. J Need Help? Read It
