Two hockey players are traveling at velocities of v1 = 10 m/s and v2 = - 22 m/s when they undergo a head-on collision. after the collision, they grab each other and slide away together with a velocity of - 3.6 m/s. hockey player 1 has a mass of 123 kg. what is the mass of the other player?

    The negative sign in the velocity simply indicate direction, nothing else. From the conservation of momentum, we have the equation:

    m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) v’

    123 kg (10 m/s) + m2 (-22 m/s) = (123 kg + m2) (-3.6 m/s)

    1230 - 22 m2 = - 442.8 - 3.6 m2

    18.4 m2 = 1672.8

    m2 = 90.91 kg
