Answer: length of B =4.00
Explanation:
for the vectors A and B and the angle between them as x.
Magnitude of the sum of A and B is given as = √(A²+B²+2ABcosx
where
Magnitude of A = 3.00
Magnitude of the sum of A and B is 5.00
5.00=√(A²+B²+2ABcos90°
5.00= √3² +b² +0
5²= 3² +b²
25=9+b²
b²= 25-9
b² = 16
b= √16
b= 4
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.

Pressure applied on a system is calculated by dividing the force by the area perpendicular to the direction of the force. It is expressed as:
P = F/A = 1.5 N / 0.5 m^2 = 3 N/m^2
Therefore, the correct answer from the choices is the last option. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
