Answer: My initial velocity is 5 m/s.

Explanation:

In this case, momentum can be conserved.

initial momentum = final momentum

Since both the bodies come to rest after collision,

Final momentum = 0

Let my velocity be v, and mass, m1 = 60 kg

Friend's mass, m2 = 100 kg

Friend's velocity, v2 = 3 m/s

Intial momentum = m1v + m2v2

= 60v + 300

Conserving momentum,

60v + 300 = 0

v= -5 m/s

( Negative sign indicates that me and my friend are moving in opposite directions that is towards each other)

If you are holding a book and you let go of it, why does it fall? Explain in terms of forces, potential energy, and kinetic ener
inessss [21]

Answer:

Let the mass of the book be "m", acceleration due to gravity be "g", velocity be "v" and height be "h".

Now if we are holding a book at a certain height (h), <em><u>the potential energy will be maximum which is equal to mass× acceleration due to gravity× height (= mgh)</u>.</em>

(Remember: kinetic energy =0)

Now we consider that the book is dropped, in this case a force will act downward towards the centre of the earth, <em><u>Force= mass× acceleration due to gravity (F=mg)</u></em>. It is equal to the weight of the book.

While the book is falling, the potential energy stored in the book converts into kinetic energy and strikes the floor with <em><u>the maximum kinetic energy= (1/2)×mass×velocity² (=1/2mv²)</u>.</em>

(Remember: kinetic energy=0)

Due to this process the whole energy is conserved.

As the potential energy decreases kinetic energy increases.
