Explanation:
- First and foremost we measure
#KE_1# (The kinetic energy of the individual tackling):
Where;
#m# is the mass#v# is the speed/velocity
Due to accuracy purposes, we shall take
- Now, according to the law of conservation of energy,
#KE_1# will be equal to#KE_2# ( the kinetic energy tranferred form the tackilng player to the colliding player)
And,
- Therefore
#v=4.9ms^-1#
