Answer:
v₁ = -0.8087 m / s
Explanation:
To solve this problem we can use the conservation of momentum, for this we define a system formed by the man, the skateboard and the brick, therefore the force during the separation is internal and the momentum is conserved
Initial instant. When they are united
p₀ = 0
Final moment. After throwing the brick
= (m_man + m_skate) v1 + m_brick v2
the moment is preserved
p₀ = p_{f}
0 = (m_man + m_skate) v₁ + m_brick v₂
v₁ = -
the negative sign indicates that the two speeds are in the opposite direction
let's calculate
v₁ = -
v₁ = -0.8087 m / s
