Answer:
F = 50[N], to the left.
v = 10.52 [m/s]
Step-by-step explanation:
First problem
In order to solve this problem we must apply Newton's laws, in such a way that we must perform a summation of forces on the horizontal axis. In this way we will analyze each force and the direction of action.
The offensive player is applying a force of 100N to the right, while the defensive player applies a force of 150N to the left. In this way performing the summation of forces we have.
100 - 150 = F
F = - 50 [N]
Note: The negative sign indicates that the resulting force is to the left.
Second problem
We must remember that the definition of speed is equal to the relationship between distance over time.
x = distance = 100 [m]
t = time = 9.5 [s]
v = x/t
v = 100/9.5
v = 10.52 [m/s]
