Expert Solution
Step 1

Given

Mass of running back = 95.0 kg

Mass of line backer = 90.0 kg

Initial velocity of running back = 5.0 m/s due South

Initial velocity of line backer = 3.0 m/s due North

After collision

Running back velocity = 1.0 m/s due North

We have to find the velocity of linear backer after collision.
