Two hockey players of opposite teams, while trying to hit a hockey ball on the ground collide and immediately become entangled. Once has a mass of `60kg`, and was moving with a velocity `5*0m//s`, while the other has a mass of `55kg` and was moving faster with a velocity of `6*0m//s` towards the first player. In which direction and with what velocity will they move after they become entangled? Assume that the frictional force acting between the feet of the two players and ground is negligible.

To solve the problem of the two hockey players colliding and becoming entangled, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum. Here are the steps to find the direction and velocity after the collision: ### Step 1: Identify the masses and velocities - Mass of player 1 (m1) = 60 kg, moving with velocity (v1) = 5 m/s (to the right). - Mass of player 2 (m2) = 55 kg, moving with velocity (v2) = -6 m/s (to the left, hence negative). ### Step 2: Calculate the initial momentum The initial momentum (P_initial) can be calculated using the formula: ...
