The universal law of gravitation states that:
Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.
It means that if the gravitational force is F, then if the distance is decreased by 5 times, then the new gravitation force is:
F/5² = F/25
The final velocity of the skater is 2.34 m/s forward
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the system before and after the ball is thrown must be conserved, in absence of external forces.
Before the ball is thrown, the total momentum is:
where
M = 61 kg is the mass of the skater
m = 4.0 kg is the mass of the ball
u = 2.5 m/s (forward) is the combined velocity of the skater and the ball
After, the ball is thrown at twice the velocity, so the final total momentum is
where
V is the final velocity of the skater
v = 2(2.5) = 5.0 is the final velocity of the ball
Since the total momentum must be conserved, we can write
So, the skater is moving at 2.34 m/s (forward) after the shot.
