118. A basketball player A and her wheelchair have a combined mass of 58 kg. She moves at 0.6 m/s
toward East and pushes off a stationary player B while jockeying for a position near the basket. Player
A ends up moving at 20 m/s toward West. The combined mass of player B and her wheelchair is 85
kg. What will be player B’s velocity immediately after interaction Figure below)?
