A skateboarder with a mass of 45 kilograms is riding on a skateboard with a mass of 2.5 kilograms. What should be the velocity o
klasskru [66]
So momentum is just velocity times mass, this means Momentum = Velocity x Mass.
We can rearrange this to be Velocity = Momentum/Mass.

Since we know momentum and mass we can now solve.

Velocity = 264/(45+2.5)
              = 5.56 m/s
