In an American football game, a 90.4 kg fullback running east with a speed of 5.04 m/s is tackled by a 94.8 kg opponent running north with a speed of 3.10 m/s.

(a) If the collision is perfectly inelastic, calculate the speed and direction of the players just after the tackle.

(b) Determine the mechanical energy lost as a result of the collision.
