Pole distance 
Final speed is 
Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as
Therefore Acceleration a
Generally the equation for Frictional force 
is mathematically given as
Therefore
No I don’t think so. But it worth a try tho. Try it out.
Answer:
This depends on what angle they are approaching each other before they collided.The two simple cases are if they are running in the same direction or opposite direction from each other. For either case, use the conservation of momentum equation to solve: M_total*V_result = M1*V1 + M2*V2
Explanation:
Here are two possible solutions.
Head-on collision: M1=78, V1=8.5, M2=72, V2=-7.5 (that's negative because he's running the other way), M_total = 78+72 = 150, so V_result = (78*8.5 - 72*7.5)/150 = 0.82 m/s. Sanity check, they weigh about the same and so most of their velocity should cancel out.
Running the same way: change the sign of V2 to positive so V_result = (78*8.5 + 72*7.5)/150 = 8.02 m/s. Sanity check, they weigh about the same and the resultant speed is between the two starting velocities.

The K.E. at the maximum height is zero, no matter what that height is.
