It could never actually happen like this, but the question is
looking for you to 'conserve' the momentum.

Momentum of a moving object is (mass) x (velocity).
Like velocity, momentum has a direction.
Momentum is one of those things that's 'conserved'. 
That means that momentum can't appear out of nowhere, and
it doesn't disappear.  The total after the collision is the same as
the total was before the collision.  

Momentum of the skinny player:

                     (70 kg) x (3 m/s north) = 210 kg-m/s north.

Momentum of the heavy player:

                     (80 kg) x (1.5 m/s south)  =  120 kg-m/s south .

Total momentum before the collision is

                     (210 kg-m/s north) + (120 kg-m/s south)

                 =        90 kg-m/s north  .

It has to be the same after the collision.

                       (mass) x (velocity)  =  90 kg-m/s north.

The  mass after the collision is 150 kg, because they get
tangled up and stuck together, and they move together.

                                (150 kg) x (velocity)  =  90 kg-m/s north .

Divide each side
by  150 kg :                   velocity  =  (90 kg-m/s north) / (150 kg)

                                                =  (90/150)  (kg-m/s / kg  north)

                                                 =        0.6 m/s  north  .

Consider the interference pattern produced by two parallel slits of width a and separation d, in which d = 3a. The slits are ill
laila [671]

Answer:

a)   m =1  θ = sin⁻¹  λ  / d,  m = 2        θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 2d) ,   c)     m = 3

Explanation:

a) In the interference phenomenon the maxima are given by the expression

         d sin θ = m λ

the maximum for m = 1 is at the angle

          θ = sin⁻¹  λ  / d

the second maximum m = 2

          θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 2d)

the third maximum m = 3

        θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 3d)

the fourth maximum m = 4

       θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 4d)

b) If we take into account the effect of diffraction, the intensity of the maximums is modulated by the envelope of the diffraction of each slit.

       I = I₀ cos² (Ф) (sin x / x)²

       Ф = π d sin θ /λ

       x = pi a sin θ /λ

where a is the width of the slits

with the values ​​of part a are introduced in the expression and we can calculate intensity of each maximum

c) The interference phenomenon gives us maximums of equal intensity and is modulated by the diffraction phenomenon that presents a minimum, when the interference reaches this minimum and is no longer present

maximum interference       d sin θ = m λ

first diffraction minimum    a sin θ = λ

we divide the two expressions

                       d / a = m

In our case

                   3a / a = m

                    m = 3

order three is no longer visible
