Explanation:
The final answer is B hope its helps
Answer:
Corresponding raft speed = -0.875 m/s (the minus sign indicates that the raft moves in the direction opposite to the diver)
Explanation:
Law of conservation of momentum gives that the momentum of the diver and the raft before the dive is equal to the momentum of the diver and the raft after the dive.
And since the raft and the diver are initially at rest, the momentum of the diver after the dive is equal and opposite to the momentum experienced by the raft after the dive.
(Final momentum of the diver) + (Final momentum of the raft) = 0
Final Momentum of the diver = (mass of the diver) × (diving velocity of the diver)
Mass of the diver = 73 kg
Diving velocity of the diver = 5.54 m/s
Momentum of the diver = 73 × 5.54 = 404.42 kgm/s
Momentum of the raft = (mass of the raft) × (velocity of the raft)
Mass of the raft = 462 kg
Velocity of the raft = v
Momentum of the raft = 462 × v = (462v) kgm/s
404.42 + 462v = 0
462v = -404.42
v = (-404.42/462) = -0.875 m/s (the minus sign indicates that the raft moves in the direction opposite to the diver)
Hope this Helps!!!
