A 96.1 kg football player travelling east and a 68.5 kg football player travelling north are involved in an inelastic collision and travel together after the collision. Their shared final velocity after the collision is 5.18m/s [25.4 degrees N of E]. Calculate the velocities of both football players before the collision. Use the inelastic collision formula to draw a right triangle.
