Momentum, p = m.v
m of the girl = 60.0 kg
m of the boat = 180 kg
v of the girl = 4.0 m/s
A) Momentum of the girl as she is diving:
p = m.v = 60.0 kg * 4.0 m/s = 24.0 N/s
B) momentum of the raft = - momentum of the girl = -24.0 N/s
C) speed of the raft
p = m.v ; v = p/m = 24.0N/s / 180 kg = -0.13 m/s [i.e. in the opposite direction of the girl's velocity]
a) KE=0.5*mv^2==0.5*145*25^2=45312.5 J
b) PE=mgh=145*9.8*3.5=4973.5 J
c) ME=KE+PE=m(0.5v^2+gh)=62524 J
One of them would be power source.
