Note: Take East as the positive direction. A(n) 81 kg fisherman jumps from a dock into a 128 kg rowboat at rest on the West side

of the dock. If the velocity of the fisherman is 4.5 m/s to the West as he leaves the dock, what is the final velocity of the fisherman and the boat? Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

final velocity of fisherman will be 1.744 m /sec in west direction

Explanation:

We have given mass of the fisherman m_1=81kg

Velocity of fisherman v_=-4.5m/sec ( As east direction is positive direction )

Mass of the rowboat m_2=128kg

As the rowboat is at rest so v_2=0m/sec

Now according to conservation of momentum

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

81\times -4.5+128\times 0=(81+128)\times v

v=-1.744m/sec

So final velocity of fisherman will be 1.744 m /sec in west direction

wel

Answer:

0.687 m/s

Explanation:

Initial energy = final energy

1/2 mu² = mgh + 1/2 mv²

1/2 u² = gh + 1/2 v²

Given u = 2.00 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s², and h = 0.180 m:

1/2 (2.00 m/s)² = (9.8 m/s²) (0.180 m) + 1/2 v²

v = 0.687 m/s
