Dan is gliding on his skateboard at 4.00m/s . He suddenly jumps backward off the skateboard, kicking the skateboard forward at 6

.00m/s . Dan's mass is 60.0kg and the skateboard's mass is 7.00kg .
How fast is Dan going as his feet hit the ground?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Momentum. For this purpose we will define the momentum as the product between mass and velocity, and by conservation the initial momentum will be equal to the final momentum. Mathematically this is,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Here,

m_{1,2} = Mass of Dan and Skateboard respectively

u_{1,2} = Initial velocity of Dan and Skateboard respectively

v_{1,2} = Final velocity of Dan and Skateboard respectively

Our values are:

Dan's mass

m_1 = 60kg

Mass of the skateboard

m_2 = 7.0kg

Both have the same initial velocity, then

u_1= u_2 = 4m/s

Final velocity of Skateboard is

v_2 = 6m/s

Rearranging to find the final velocity of Dan we have then,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)u_1

v_1 = \frac{ (m_1+m_2)u_1 -m_2v_2}{m_1}

Replacing,

v_1 = \frac{(60+7)(4)-(7)(6)}{60}

v_1 = 3.76m/s

Therefore Dan will touch the ground at a speed of 3.76m/s

The total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Initial momentum of the returner, </em>P_i_1<em> = 0 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>The initial momentum of the diving player, </em>P_i_2<em> = 130 kgm/s</em>

The total momentum of the players after collision is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

P_f = P_i_1 + P_i_2\\\\P_f = 0 + 130\\\\P_f = 130 \ kgm/s

Thus, the total momentum of the players after collision is 130 kgm/s.

The Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone National Park shoots water into the air at 48.0 m/s. How
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the water, u = 48 m/s

at maximum height the final velocity will be zero, v = 0

the water is going upwards, i.e in the negative direction of gravity, g = -9.8 m/s².

The maximum height reached by the water is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

h is the maximum height reached by the water

0 = u² + 2gh

0 = (48)² + ( 2 x -9.8 x h)

0 = 2304 - 19.6h

19.6h = 2304

h = 2304 / 19.6

h = 117.55 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.
