...goal line for a touchdown. Just as? A 95-kg fullback, running at 5.0 m/s, attempts to dive directly across the goal line for a touchdown. Just as he reaches the line, he is met head-on in midair by two 75-kg linebackers both moving in the direction opposite the fullback. One is moving at 2.0 m/s, the other at 4.0 m/s. They all become entangled as one mass.
