let the magnitude of force applied by each worker be "F"

consider east-west direction along X-axis and north-south direction along Y-axis

In unit vector form, force vector by worker pushing in east direction is given as

\underset{A}{\rightarrow} = F \hat{i} + 0  \hat{j}


In unit vector form, force vector by worker pushing in north direction is given as

\underset{B}{\rightarrow} = 0 \hat{i} + F  \hat{j}

resultant force is given as the vector sum of two vector forces as

\underset{R}{\rightarrow} = \underset{A}{\rightarrow} + \underset{B}{\rightarrow}

\underset{R}{\rightarrow} = (F \hat{i} + 0  \hat{j} ) + (0 \hat{i} + F  \hat{j} )

\underset{R}{\rightarrow} = F \hat{i} +  F  \hat{j}

direction of the force is hence given as

θ = tan⁻¹(F/F)

θ =  tan⁻¹(1)

θ = 45 degree north of east

hence the direction is north-east

A hockey pick sliding along a frictional surface strikes a box at rest, after the collision the two objects stick together and m
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Option a is correct  

If puck and pick constitute a system then the momentum of the system is conserved but not this may not be valid for the puck .

Option e is correct

If puck and pick is the system then momentum is conserved but because of the presence of friction, mechanical energy is not conserved.

Friction will cause the energy to dissipate in heat.
