In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.
75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s
The final velocity is 2.88 m/s

Answer:
Of the three stars in the system, the dimmest - called Proxima Centauri - is actually the nearest star to the Sun. The two bright stars, called Alpha Centauri A and B form a close binary system; they are separated by only 23 times the Earth - Sun distance.
When Sam presses the brake lever, a pair of rubber shoes clamps onto the metal inner rim of the front and back wheels. As the brake shoes rub against the wheels, friction is caused and the kinetic energy possessed by the vehicle is converted into heat which slows down the vehicle.
