"<span>The amount of matter in a substance" is the one among the following choices given in the question that best defines mass. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.</span>
Answer: 0.5 m/s
Explanation:
Given
Speed of the sled, v = 0.55 m/s
Total mass, m = 96.5 kg
Mass of the rock, m1 = 0.3 kg
Speed of the rock, v1 = 17.5 m/s
To solve this, we would use the law of conservation of momentum
Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.5 kg * 0.550 m/s = 53.08 Ns
When the man throws the rock forward
rock:
m1 = 0.300 kg
V1 = 17.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man
m2 = 96.5 kg - 0.300 kg = 96.2 kg
v2 = ?
Law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum is equal before and after the throw.
momentum before throw = momentum after throw
53.08 = 0.300 * 17.5 + 96.2 * v2
53.08 = 5.25 + 96.2 * v2
v2 = [53.08 - 5.25 ] / 96.2
v2 = 47.83 / 96.2
v2 = 0.497 ~= 0.50 m/s
