We have:
Initial velocity (u) = 1.6 m/s
Constant acceleration (a) = 0.33 m/s²
Time (t) = 3.6 sec
There are five constant acceleration equations that would help us to find the velocity:
Since we have
and we want
We will use the first formula
m/s
Answer:
0.37 m/s to the left
Explanation:
Momentum is conserved. Initial momentum = final momentum.
m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
Initially, both the fisherman/boat and the package are at rest.
0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
Plugging in values and solving:
0 = (82 kg + 112 kg) v + (15 kg) (4.8 m/s)
v = -0.37 m/s
The boat's velocity is 0.37 m/s to the left.
The law of conservation of energy is a law of science that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form into another or transferred from one object to another.<span>

When a person collides with an inflated air bag, the impact forces the molecules of gas in the bag closer together. The compression of the gas absorbs the energy of the impact.
