During a goal-line stand, a 112-kg fullback moving eastward with a speed of 6 m/s collides head-on with a 120-kg lineman moving westward with a speed of 8 m/s.
The two players collide and stick together, moving at the same velocity after the
collision. Determine the post-collision velocity of the two players.

-1.24 m/s

Explanation:

Total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

Total momentum before collision = (mass of full back * velocity of fullback) + (mass of lineman * velocity of line man).

Mass of full back = 112 kg, mass of line bag = 120 kg, velocity of full back  6 m/s (east), velocity of line back = -8 m/s (west). Hence:

Total momentum before collision = (112 * 6) + (120 * -8) = 672 - 960 = -288 kgm/s

The total momentum after collision = (mass of full back + mass of line back) * velocity after collision.

Let velocity after collision be v, hence:

The total momentum after collision = (112 + 120)v = 232v

Total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

-288 = 232v

v = -288 / 232

v = -1.24 m/s

Therefore after collision, the two players would move at a velocity 1.24 m/s west (the same direction as the lineman).

explanation:

considering the bohr theory, the type of connection that requires the transfer the answer conuldn't be right

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force
