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.

Answer:
No, not necessarily
Explanation:
If an object is moving with an acceleration that causes its speed to be reduced, there will be a moment in which it reaches v = 0, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the acceleration isn't acting anymore. If the object continues its movement with the same acceleration, it's velocity will become negative.
An example of an object that has zero velocity but non-zero acceleration:
If you throw an object in the air with a certain velocity, it will move vertically, reducing its velocity in a 9,8 rate (which is the acceleration caused by gravity). At a certain point, the object will reach its maximum height, and will start to fall. In the exact moment that it reaches the maximum height, before it starts falling, its velocity is zero, but gravity is still acting on the object (this is the reason why it starts falling instead of just being stopped at that point). Therefore, at that point, the object has zero velocity but an acceleration of 9,8

Answer:
Amplitude is decreased by a factor of if intensity is decreased by a factor of 3.
Explanation:
Intensity of a sound wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.
Therefore, if intensity is and amplitude is
, then
, where,
is constant of proportionality.
Now, if intensity of sound wave is decreased by a factor of 3. So,
New intensity is,
Plug in for
. This gives,
Therefore, amplitude is decreased by a factor of .
