    for the first formula, using kg i got 12.8 = v2 + v4

    Then with coefficient of restitution using this formula i got from wikipedia

    which is slightly different to your formula (particularly the bottom)
    I got 10(v4)+80 = 72 +9(v2)

    then using simultaneous equations with
    12.8 -v2 = v4 and
    10(v4)+80 = 72 + 9(v2)
    (subbing)
    i got v2 = 7.15789...
    or v2 = 136/19

    but i could be wrong, this coefficient of restitution stuff is new to me. I might have gotten some of my negatives in the wrong place too.

    I dont think it has anything to do with newtons

    edit: you have to be pretty damn good at soccer to kick a ball and hit someone elses ball in mid air
