Dan is gliding on his skateboard at 4.0 m/s. He suddenly jumps backward off the skateboard, kicking the skateboard forward at 8.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

3.6 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before jump = Total momentum after jump

<em>Note: Before Dan jump off the skateboard, they where both moving with the same velocity</em>

u(m+m') = mv+m'v'................. Equation 1

Where m = Dan's mass, m' = mass of the skateboard, u = common velocity before the jump, v = Dan's final velocity, v' = The final velocity of the skateboard.

make v the subject of the equation

v = [u(m+m')-m'v')]/m.............. Equation 2

Given: u = 4.0 m/s, m = 50 kg, m' = 5 kg, v' = 8 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

v = [4(50+5)-(5×8)]/50

v = (220-40)/50

v = 180/50

v = 3.6 m/s

what do you mean by momentum? avehicle is runing with a velocity of 5m/s. it the momentum of the vehicle is 5000kg m/s. what is
Fantom [35]
Momentum is simply a quantity that measures the impact of a moving body over something is due to the mass it posseses or the velocity with which it is moving. Mathematically,ut is the product of mass and velocity of a body. It is represented by capital p...(P) P=mv Solution to the problem: we know P=mv For mass,eliminate m from the equation, m=P/v Put values, m=5000/5=1000kg
