A boy of mass 46.2 kg is initially on a skateboard of mass 2.00 kg, moving at a speed of 10.2 m/s. The boy falls off the skatebo

ard, and his center of mass moves forward at a speed of 10.9 m/s. Find the final velocity of the skateboard.

Answer:

v=-5.97\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The system boy-skateboard can be modelled by means of the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

(48.2\,kg)\cdot (10.2\,\frac{m}{s} ) = (46.2\,kg)\cdot (10.9\,\frac{m}{s} )+(2\,kg)\cdot v

The final velocity of the skateboard:

v=-5.97\,\frac{m}{s}

A diver stands on a diving platform 10.0 m above the surface of a pool and leaps upward with an initial speed of 2.5 m/s. how fa
Alexus [3.1K]
<span>The diver is heading downwards at 12 m/s Ignoring air resistance, the formula for the distance under constant acceleration is d = VT - 0.5AT^2 where V = initial velocity T = time A = acceleration (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth) In this problem, the initial velocity is 2.5 m/s and the target distance will be -7.0 m (3.0 m - 10.0 m = -7.0 m) So let's substitute the known values and solve for T d = VT - 0.5AT^2 -7 = 2.5T - 0.5*9.8T^2 -7 = 2.5T - 4.9T^2 0 = 2.5T - 4.9T^2 + 7 We now have a quadratic equation with A=-4.9, B=2.5, C=7. Using the quadratic formula, find the roots, which are -0.96705 and 1.477251164. Now the diver's velocity will be the initial velocity minus the acceleration due to gravity over the time. So V = 2.5 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.477251164 s V = 2.5 m/s - 14.47706141 m/s V = -11.97706141 m/s So the diver is going down at a velocity of 11.98 m/s Now the negative root of -0.967047083 is how much earlier the diver would have had to jump at the location of the diving board. And for grins, let's compute how fast he would have had to jump to end up at the same point. V = 2.5 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * (-0.967047083 s) V = 2.5 m/s - (-9.477061409 m/s) V = 2.5 m/s + 9.477061409 m/s V = 11.97706141 m/s And you get the exact same velocity, except it's the opposite sign. In any case, the result needs to be rounded to 2 significant figures which is -12 m/s</span>
