Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m') .................................Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first player, u = initial speed of the first player, m' = mass of the second player, u' = initial speed of the second player, V = combined speed of both players.

Making V the subject of the equation,

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')................ Equation 2

Note: Taking the direction of the first player as positive.

Given: m = 75 kg, m' = 100 kg, u = 6 m/s, u' = -8 m/s (opposite the first player),

Substituting into equation 2

V = [(75×6)+(100×(--8))]/(75+100)

V = (450-800)/175

V = 350/175

V = - 2 m/s.

Note: The negative signs tells that the combined speed is in the direction of the second player.

Hence the combined speed of the two players = 2 m/s

Point P and point charge Q are separated by a distance R. The electric field at point P has magnitude E. How could the magnitude
Angelina_Jolie [31]
<span>We know , E = kQ/r^2 where q = charge and r is separation between point and point charge. Now, At P, E= kQ/r^2 Since, Q can't be changed, we can do that by varying r 2E = 2kq/r^2 2E = kq/ (r/ sqrt2)^2 Hence, if we bring Q closer such that distance between P and Q becomes r/ sqrt 2, E will get doubled.</span>
